The Secret To Luxury: Exuberant Monaco

With legendary hotels, exceptional restaurants and magical moments to experience, the ultimate affordable luxury destination, Monaco has long held the secret to indulging in style.

The Principality of Monaco is a tiny state, nestled between France and Italy, with over seven centuries of Mediterranean influences, culture, cuisine, and art de vivre. There is always something to enjoy under the Monaco sun, whether you would like to sit and sip a coffee in the square by La Condamine market, which you will find bustling every morning, with stalls selling the most delicious and fresh local produce – or if it is culture that interests you, there are plentiful museums for curious visitors to expand their horizons. If you would simply like to stroll through the streets, you can wander through the charming alleyways of the Old Town, or take in the unrivalled view from the Exotic Garden.

The Monaco experience starts as soon as you touch down: step onto the tarmac at Nice Cote d’Azur Airport and board a Monacair helicopter ride. Enjoy the charms of the Cote d’Azur from the skies with a 180° sweeping view. This seven-minute ride is a memorable experience! Luxury hospitality is an art form here, and each suite prepared for your stay is its very own masterpiece. The Diamond Suite Collection of Monaco offers authentic and unique modern luxury, with refinement. The majestic Prince Rainier III Diamond Suite at the Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the Presidential Diamond Suite at the Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, the Sunshine Diamond Suite at the Monte-Carlo Beach, or the Diamond Suite Eleven at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort – you have plenty of options to choose from. Whether as a couple, as a family or among friends, the Diamond Suite collection has everything you need for an unforgettable stay.

Savour top-class gastronomy in a Michelin-starred restaurant with a host of fabulous lunch menus. At the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, the Michelin-starred restaurant Blue Bay offers dinner with a view – right into its open kitchen. Get behind the scenes by dining at chef Marcel Ravin’s table and discover the culinary secrets of this Michelin-starred restaurant. You can even treat yourself to dinner in one of the wine cellars at the Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo: the largest hotel cellars in the world. In this 1,500 m2 space, carved out of the rock itself, relish an incredible meal accompanied by wines worthy of this timeless venue. Dating back to 1864, these cellars are packed with history!

If you want to rejuvenate, relax, and indulge in some self-care, Monaco is the place to be. Its wellness centers are world-famous, just like Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo, which provides targeted body and facial treatments in a luxurious setting with views of the Mediterranean Sea.

A visit to Monaco also means daily encounters with the Mediterranean Sea. Head out onto the shimmering blue waters on the excursion of your dreams, and enjoy all the comfort of a luxury yacht. There is so much beauty to be witnessed at sea! Sail away and enjoy a full day of utter paradise – bathe in sheltered coves, indulge in a snorkeling adventure or explore other water sports. If you’d rather take the time to unwind, you could simply lounge on the deck and admire the many shades of blue that surround you.

What more? Visiting this destination provides a golden opportunity to experience the thrill of a lucky roll of the dice! The Casino de Monte-Carlo offers top players the use of exclusive spaces so that they can indulge freely in the fun of the game. Once evening falls, the magic hour descends when the Buddha-Bar Monte-Carlo’s unique eastern-inspired décor comes into its own. The warm-toned salon is accented with carved woodwork, gilding and sculptures – including a formidable meditating Buddha.

The Principality is the perfect place to savour the finer things in life, in a pristine environment where everything possible has been done to ensure a level of safety like no other. The Principality of Monaco is without doubt one of the world’s safest destinations. With over 300 days of sunshine per year and a balmy Mediterranean climate, weather conditions in Monaco are ideal all year round. Monaco’s surprising geography offers a spectrum of stunning landscapes – allowing you to wake up by the water, spend a day skiing, and dine in the heart of the Principality when evening comes.
