From superyachts to seaside soirées - discover why Monaco is the ultimate luxury escape.
Monaco is a city-state that is a world unto itself as soon as the summer hits and turns luxury into an art form with the dazzling sun-kissed shores, superyachts gliding across the Mediterranean, and people dressed like they have just stepped out of an old-glam movie set. This tiny place, just two square kilometers in size, is where indulgence feels effortless, the norm even. Here, Ferraris purr along palm-lined boulevards, Michelin-starred chefs turn every meal into an event, and the Mediterranean glistens like a jewel-studded mirror. If you’re chasing a summer steeped in glamour, there’s no place quite like Monaco.
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo isn’t just a district, it’s a statement. It is the home to the iconic Casino de Monte-Carlo, that has an old-school glam energy instilling Bond-worthy drama over roulette wheels and Baccarat tables, and the sort of place you need to get in if you want to embrace high life. The Belle Époque interiors of this world-famous casino drip in grand chandeliers and gilded opulence make it worth a visit even if you are not into playing a hand.
Stroll outside, and you’ll find the Café de Paris, the perfect vantage point for a mid-morning espresso and a bit of people-watching, which happens to be Monaco’s unofficial sport. Keep your eyes peeled for supermodels, F1 champions, and billionaires casually parking their Bugattis.

The Yacht Life
Monaco’s harbour, Port Hercule, is a floating catwalk of megayachts, each one more extravagant than the last. You can charter a private yacht for the day to get the ultimate Riviera experience and cruise past the postcard worthy cliffs of the Côte d’Azur, drop anchor in a hidden cove, and enjoy a glass of vintage rosé.
You could also time your visit with the Monaco Yacht Show (September) and witness some of the most luxurious and jaw dropping vessels with infinity pools, helipads, and cinemas onboard.

The Grand Prix Thrill (Even in Off-Season)
Monaco’s Grand Prix may be a once-a-year spectacle, but its adrenaline lingers in the air year-round. The circuit, winding through the city’s narrow streets, is one of the most iconic in motorsport. Walk the same hairpin bends that have made and broken champions, or, for a true rush, book a supercar experience and take those legendary turns at high speed.
Michelin-Starred Feasts & Seaside Indulgences
Dining in Monaco is less about eating, more about experiencing. The city has no shortage of culinary icons starting with Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse, a three-Michelin-starred institution at Hôtel de Paris. Every dish is a tribute to the Mediterranean, with flavours that sing of the sea and sun.
If you are looking for a more relaxed Riviera and barefoot luxury vibe, La Vigie Lounge & Restaurant offers exactly that with a bonus of panoramic sea views.

Beach Clubs & Sundowners
Monaco has only a handful beaches, but each one is just absolutely flawless. Monte-Carlo Beach Club is the place to stretch out on a sun lounger, sip a Bellini, and let the gentle hum of the Riviera lull you into bliss. If you prefer a more fun and much livelier scene, Nikki Beach on the rooftop of Fairmont Monte Carlo is where the party gets wild.
After Dark: Rooftops & Riviera Nights
There is something just so romantic about European evenings, and if you throw in Monaco’s glamour to the mix, you’re sure to feel like a main character of a movie. Start the evening with a cocktail at Blue Gin and watch the horizon blurs into the night sky. Then, move on to Jimmy’z, the legendary nightclub that has hosted everyone from rock royalty to actual royalty. It’s a swirl of champagne sprays, world-class DJs, and a crowd that knows how to celebrate in style.
To spend a summer in Monaco is to understand effortless luxury. It’s not at all about excess just for the sake of it; it’s more about appreciating the finer things, from a perfectly seared sea bass to the soft purr of a classic car engine. It’s knowing the fact that, here, glamour isn’t an act. It’s a way of life.
