Your arrival in Nice
Whether your flight arrives early or runs late, your chauffeur adjusts to your actual landing time, then waits for you inside the arrivals hall, holding a tablet that displays your name. If you fly private, the team at the business aviation terminal escorts you directly to your chauffeur.

Via Sophia Antipolis
The route follows the A8 highway toward Valbonne, then winds through the pine woods of the Sophia Antipolis technology park up into the hills of Opio. Once you reach Club Med, your chauffeur pulls up right outside the reception building and unloads your luggage for you.

Everyone on board
Family travel calls for careful planning. When you book, tell us how many suitcases you are bringing, whether you have a stroller, and your children’s ages. A suitable seat, available on request, is installed for each child before you arrive. The V-Class seats up to seven passengers.

Meetings and groups
Club Med Opio also hosts corporate meetings and seminars, just a short drive from Sophia Antipolis. When your attendees arrive on different flights, a single person coordinates all of their chauffeurs, so you deal with just one point of contact, who can be reached at any time.

AROUND OPIO
Between Grasse, Valbonne and the sea
Opio shares its hills with Valbonne and Châteauneuf-Grasse. Grasse, the world’s perfume capital, is right next door, as are Mougins and Sophia Antipolis. The Croisette, in Cannes, lies just 17 km (11 miles) away, and Antibes, with its Port Vauban, only a little farther. Saint-Paul-de-Vence, perched on its hilltop, is perfect for an excursion, and Saint-Tropez for a getaway farther afield.
On site, Club Med offers three swimming pools, a nine-hole golf course, tennis and padel courts, a Payot spa and kids’ clubs for children aged 4 to 17. For a longer round, the 18-hole Opio Valbonne golf course is close by, set on a protected 220-hectare (540-acre) estate; your chauffeur drives you there with your golf bags. On departure day, you are picked up at reception at a time set around your flight, then dropped off right outside Terminal 1 or 2, or at the Business Aviation Terminal.
Rides from Club Med
GOOD TO KNOW
A question about getting to Club Med Opio?
How long is the drive from Nice Airport?
About 45 minutes under normal conditions. On weekdays, around the end of the workday, traffic builds near Sophia Antipolis and the drive can take close to an hour. For your departure, we suggest the pickup time that suits your flight.
Can you drive us to Club Med for just one day?
Yes. Club Med Opio offers day and evening passes, subject to availability. Once Club Med has confirmed your visit, your chauffeur drives you there from your hotel or villa, then comes back for you at the agreed time.
Can our golf bags travel with us?
Of course. Just let us know at booking how many golf bags and suitcases you are traveling with, and we will provide the right vehicle, usually a V-Class, or more than one for a larger group.
Is a taxi to Club Med Opio a good option?
If you take a taxi, you first make your way to the stand and wait in line. Your private chauffeur, reserved in advance, waits in the terminal with a tablet bearing your name. Dressed in a suit and tie, your chauffeur then shows you to a new, latest-generation Mercedes-Benz. For families, the child seats you requested are already installed, and the fare, fixed when you book, stays the same all the way to Opio.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
Your stay in Opio, with Valentin
Valentin Sassi founded Riviera Elite Driver in 2016, after a career in tourism and luxury hospitality on the French Riviera. In the five-star hotels and Palaces of Cannes, he learned what great hospitality demands: attention to detail, discretion and the art of anticipation. These qualities have become his signature.
At first the only one behind the wheel, he earned the trust of hotels, partners and loyal clients, then brought together a team of professional chauffeurs who share his vision of the craft.
Since 2023, he has devoted himself entirely to his clients: he personally organizes every journey and coordinates your chauffeurs.
Day and night, seven days a week, the whole team is just a call away. For a morning in Grasse or an afternoon in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, your chauffeur picks you up at Club Med and brings you back whenever you wish.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
