Pool day passes in Cannes start at €6 for public pools and go up to €180 for a rooftop spa experience. Unlike many Riviera cities, Cannes has two municipal pools open to non-residents at budget prices, making it one of the more accessible options on the Côte d'Azur.
The Croisette is lined with luxury hotels, but most keep their pools guest-only. Your best options for hotel pool access are the Novotel Montfleury, where the pool is publicly accessible, and spa day packages at Five Seas Hotel or Villa St Barth. The Pullman in nearby Mandelieu offers a full resort day pass with beach and pool access.
If you're exploring the French Riviera, Nice and Antibes are both a short train ride away with their own pool day pass options. Monaco and Saint-Tropez are also worth comparing.

Tips for booking pool day passes in Cannes
Most hotel pool passes in Cannes require advance booking, especially during the Cannes Film Festival in May and peak summer months (June to September). Villa St Barth and Five Seas Hotel both have limited capacity, so call ahead. The public pools at Montfleury and Grand Bleu are first come, first served and rarely turn people away outside of August.
Bring a swim cap if you're heading to Centre Aquatique Grand Bleu. One is usually required for the indoor lanes. Cannes also has several beach clubs along the Croisette that offer loungers and sea access, though these don't include pool access.
