The best advice is to be organised early!

Accommodation is booked up quickly and by January you should know your budget and arrange your accommodation.

Once your festival pass has been booked you will have access to a centralised database of reserved accommodation on hold for festival delegates at a special rate. You can book accommodation directly through the festival's partner via this portal or choose to rent holiday accommodation in the area. 

Most people arrive at the Festival via the Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport, located less than 30km from the city of Cannes. Aer Lingus and Ryanair both fly direct from Dublin airport to Nice Côte d’Azur which is the nearest airport for Cannes.
