Plage Keller Moves to Cannes for 2026 Season: La Piscine Keller

One of Cap d’Antibes’ most famous beaches – La Plage Keller – is taking up residence at Palm Beach Cannes for the 2026 season, where it will be known as La Piscine Keller (The Keller Swimming Pool).

The iconic French Riviera beach, which was first established in 1931, and its restaurant Le César, is currently undergoing major renovations, along with the rest of the La Garoupe beach, and will only be reopening in early 2027.

In the meantime, its clients are invited to swop views of the Alps for views of the beautiful Lérins islands from its temporary venue at Palm Beach in Cannes, a prime address with one of the most exclusive private members’ clubs on the Côte d’Azur.

Plage Keller said in a post: “Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and Palm Beach’s iconic pool, the venue embodies a sun-drenched and convivial art of living. Its signature dishes are reimagined by Chef Yiannis Kioroglou and his team, blending freshness, elegance, and a spirit of sharing.”

The renowned Greek chef is famous for his creative dishes at uber-popular La Guerite restaurant (on Ile St Marguerite), Anna on the Croisette in Cannes and La Petite Maison Cannes (which is also at Palm Beach). All are owned by Group DB which acquired Plage Keller approximately two years ago.

La Piscine Keller will open at Palm Beach Club:

  • From 1 May 2026, La Piscine Keller opens for lunch to members of the Palm Beach Members’ Club.
  • From 1 June 2026, La Piscine Keller welcomes all guests for dinner.

“Meanwhile, La Plage Keller continues its transformation and will return in 2027 with a renewed identity,” Plage Keller said in a post. The beach said it is reinventing itself through “a new design, true to its sunny spirit and the Mediterranean art of living.”
