There are places that don’t just kick off the season—they set its pace. In Cannes, Nammos belongs to that rare family of spots where the beach becomes a stage, where lunch flows naturally into the golden hour, where the Mediterranean is not just a backdrop but a way of being in the world. On May 8, 2026, Nammos Cannes makes its grand return to the Palm Beach for a third season, featuring a revamped design, new spaces, and a program designed to bring the Riviera to life from sunrise to sunset.
Located along the Croisette, within the Palm Beach Cannes, Nammos returns to one of the most legendary locations on the French Riviera. Overlooking the Mediterranean, between sky, sea, and white light, the venue continues its blend of Riviera elegance and Nammos’s festive spirit, already celebrated in Mykonos and Dubai. For this new season, the venue has been reimagined with a bolder, more seaside-inspired, almost cinematic touch: a contemporary Riviera that’s sunny yet always refined.
Among the new features, a new terrace stands out as one of the highlights of the experience. Designed for lunches in the shade of a pergola, it extends this quintessentially Mediterranean concept of luxury without formality: dining overlooking the sea, letting time slip by, watching the light dance across plates and glasses. A raised deck now offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean, while new lounge and outdoor areas—complemented by a beachfront bar—reinforce this sense of a complete destination.
The visual spread on the front page immediately sets the tone: light-colored tables, cream-colored seating, touches of turquoise, beach umbrellas lined up facing the sea, palm trees, and an azure horizon. Everything evokes a certain vision of the South—less folkloric than graphic, more international than nostalgic. Nammos doesn’t seek to recreate the Côte d’Azur of yesteryear; instead, it reinterprets it in a contemporary style, blending elements of a beach club, a destination restaurant, and a lifestyle hub.
The music lineup takes center stage this new season. Starting at noon each day, a resident DJ will liven up the venues, infusing them with the nonstop energy that’s part of the Nammos signature. Another new feature for 2026 is the addition of live singers, scheduled for both daytime and evening performances, as well as a lineup of five international DJs whose names will be announced shortly. The goal is clear: to set the pace, making Nammos Cannes a place where people come as much for lunch as to linger, extend their stay—perhaps even dance—but always in the spirit of elegant celebration characteristic of the finest seaside venues.
At the table, the dining experience stays true to the Nammos spirit: bold, generous, sun-kissed Mediterranean flavors, infused with subtle Japanese influences. The menu promises seafood of the freshest quality, cuts of meat to share, as well as signature dishes like the eggplant mille-feuille or the spiced crab tartare. The idea isn’t to overdo it, but to maintain the precision that sets truly luxurious beach cuisine apart from mere seaside decor.
The cocktails follow the same philosophy: vibrant, refreshing, and designed to complement the long days in Cannes that flow seamlessly into the evening. This season, a more playful touch is added with an ice cream cart, featuring an exclusive Nammos flavor. The detail may seem trivial; yet it is spot on. In the world of summer luxury, it is often these simple, almost childlike gestures that create lasting memories: an ice cream by the water’s edge, a chilled drink, a song at just the right moment, the late-afternoon light on your skin.
The choice of the Palm Beach gives this reopening special significance. A legendary venue on the French Riviera since 1928 and the city’s former summer casino, the Palm Beach Cannes has welcomed a constellation of celebrities, from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to Grace Kelly, from Winston Churchill to John F. Kennedy, and more recently Halle Berry, Robert De Niro, Rihanna, Meryl Streep, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Today, the venue stands as a comprehensive destination featuring restaurants, a casino, a seawater pool, wellness and fitness facilities, luxury boutiques, a private beach, a Members’ Club, nightclubs, and a large event hall overlooking the sea.
Nammos is thus part of a narrative already steeped in glamour. But what makes its return so intriguing is the way the restaurant reimagines the Côte d’Azur lifestyle. Seaside luxury is no longer limited to a well-placed lounge chair and a glass of champagne. It has become a complete experience: design, gastronomy, music, hospitality, programming, the fluidity of the spaces, and the quality of service. A venue like Nammos fully understands this contemporary language, where the experience is just as important as the location.
Founded in 2003 on Psarou Beach in Mykonos, Nammos began as a seaside taverna before becoming a global icon of Mediterranean sophistication. Its expansion into Dubai, Cannes, Limassol, and Sardinia, along with its pop-up locations in Courchevel, Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh, has cemented the brand’s reputation as a symbol of sophisticated celebration on the international stage. In 2026, Nammos will continue its expansion with its first urban location in London’s Mayfair and the announced opening of the Nammos Resort AMAALA.
In Cannes, this third season comes at just the right time. The city has always cultivated a unique relationship with imagery, desire, and staging. Nammos adds a brighter, less institutional—yet just as strategic—dimension: that of a hospitality that knows how to attract international travelers, Riviera regulars, and fans of hotspots where people come to see and be seen, but above all to feel that the season is truly beginning.
