The Croisette in May — premiere access, gala dinners, yacht parties and a villa or suite to base the week around.
What we arrange
Premiere & gala access
Croisette yacht parties
Villa & suite bases
Beach-club dinners & after-parties
Include your dates, party size and an indicative budget with your enquiry — it lets us confirm the right tier of access first time. VIP transport — jets, helicopters, chauffeurs and fast-track arrivals — can be arranged around any event for clients travelling from overseas.
When & where
Held every May on the Croisette, Cannes is two weeks of premieres, yacht parties and the amfAR gala. Villas, yachts, beach clubs (Nikki Beach, La Guérite) and club tables all book out months ahead.
How access works
Tell us the event, your dates, party size and an indicative budget. We confirm what is genuinely available for your date — access is sourced through our partner network and never guaranteed — hold it in your name, and arrange the jets, hotels, transfers and tables around it. Nothing is committed until you approve.
When it happens
Two weeks each May on the Croisette — premieres, yacht parties and the amfAR gala at Cap d’Antibes.
What we can arrange
Screening and premiere access where released, party invitations, yacht hospitality, and the beach clubs and dinners that fill the fortnight.
Planning it properly
Villas, yachts and the best tables are taken months ahead; festival-week houses often transact quietly without ever reaching a listing. Start early and treat the accommodation as the anchor.
OF.luxury is a concierge and sourcing service — not a ticket vendor or box office. Availability, allocation, entry and pricing are never guaranteed and are confirmed case by case before any commitment. All events are subject to change or cancellation by the organiser.

Calendars move. Organisers confirm dates at different points in the year, and schedules shift as the programme is finalised. We work to the confirmed date for your booking, not the provisional one — and we say so plainly if a date is not yet fixed.
What VIP access actually means here
The tiers that genuinely exist for Cannes Film Festival, and what each one gets you.
Premiere tickets and gala access
Seats at a competition premiere and entry to the gala that follows it. Dress code is black tie and enforced.
Villa and yacht base
A staffed villa or a berth for the festival window, which is how most guests actually do Cannes and Venice.
Party and dinner access
The private dinners and parties that run alongside the screenings, which is where the festival really happens.
We place VIP and hospitality only. We do not sell general admission, resale seats or standing tickets, and we will not take a booking we cannot source through an official or directly contracted channel. If the only thing available for your date is a general-admission ticket, we will tell you that rather than sell you one.
How the sourcing actually works
Hospitality at this level is not a marketplace. Boxes, suites and premium seats are allocated by the venue, the governing body or an appointed hospitality partner, and most of the good inventory never reaches a public listing at all. What that means in practice is that lead time is the single biggest factor in what you end up with — not budget.
For a marquee Cannes Film Festival date, six to twelve weeks is a comfortable window and gives us a genuine choice of positions. Inside three weeks the question changes from which box to whether anything credible exists at all. We would rather tell you a date is gone than put you in a seat that does not match what you asked for.
What we need from you
The date or the fixture, the number of guests, and an indicative budget. That is enough for us to come back with what is genuinely available and what it costs, usually the same day. If you are flexible on the fixture — a different match in the same week, a different session at the same event — say so, because it often doubles the options.
What we will not do
We do not list inventory we have not confirmed, we do not take deposits against availability we are still chasing, and we do not quote a price that moves later. Every booking is confirmed in writing with the terms attached before payment. Where an event is sold through an official hospitality programme, you are booked into that programme and receive its documentation, not a substitute.
Getting there and staying
Most Cannes Film Festival bookings travel. We arrange the private jet or helicopter transfer, the chauffeured cars on both ends and the villa or suite around the fixture, so the event and the trip are handled on one thread rather than three. For anything requiring security or NDA-grade discretion, that is arranged before you arrive rather than on the day.
