Win a stylish stay in the South of France courtesy of Hôtel Martinez

Condé Nast Traveller and Hôtel Martinez in Cannes are giving away the ultimate Côte d'Azur mini break. The prize includes a two-night stay for two guests in an oasis suite or junior sea view suite, daily breakfast, one lunch at La Plage Beach Club and one supper at Le Sud Lobby Bar Restaurant. Private airport transfers and return economy flights between the UK and Nice are also included.

Art Deco Hôtel Martinez has been an iconic address in Cannes since it first opened in the late 1920s. Unlike other come-and-go properties, it remains the place to see and be seen at in the sun-drenched French resort town. From here, stroll along the palm-tree-lined La Croisette promenade, gazing at the shimmering depths of the Mediterranean Sea or window-shop as you pass chic boutiques. Discover the Old Port of Cannes, find peace in Église Notre-Dame d'Espérance (the oldest church in Cannes), or venture to Le Suquet, a picturesque medieval neighbourhood.

At 43 square meters, oasis suites are tranquil sanctuaries overlooking the L'Oasis du Martinez garden and offer peace and privacy away from the resort town’s hustle and bustle. Snooze in the king bed, unwind in the living area and indoor garden and freshen up under powerful rainfall showers before mingling with other hotel guests. Junior sea view king suites are slightly larger and offer sparkling water views through floor-to-ceiling windows.

Leisurely breakfasts are best taken in the sea breeze outside at Le Sud. Pick at pastries and bread, sip on freshly squeezed juices and choose from an array of hot dishes – from savoury eggs Benedict to brioche French toast with caramel.

Lunch at La Plage is a social event: with menus curated by renowned chef Jean Imbert, guests can enjoy baked gnocchi and red mullet, lacquered prawns and plump stuffed tomatoes to share. Look no further than the caviar menu for golden Impérial and beluga caviar servings for extra indulgence. It’s prime people-watching territory, with tables facing the sea and the pier that stretches out into the deep blue. Later, Le Sud transforms for supper. Sample crafted cocktails as the sun sets before settling in for Mediterranean flavours on the terrace as the stars appear.

Between leisurely exploration and seaside feasting, unwind at L'Oasis du Martinez, the hotel’s 2,800 square metre wellness complex. Work out in the state-of-the-art fitness centre, enjoy a light snack at the bar and let therapists from the Spa by Carita pamper you with a signature facial or ease tired muscles over a massage.
