The Monte-Carlo Beach
A glamorous seasonal seaside hideaway just beyond Monaco, Monte-Carlo Beach pairs Art Deco rooms, a private beach, Olympic-size seawater pool and elegant Mediterranean dining on a secluded peninsula.
Monte-Carlo Beach occupies a private waterfront setting in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin immediately beside Monaco. The low-rise property hugs the Mediterranean rather than rising above it, creating a distinctly different atmosphere from the principality’s grand urban hotels.
India Mahdavi’s interiors reinterpret 1930s Riviera glamour through stripes, bold colors and polished nautical references. Rooms and suites are intimate, and many open toward the sea with terraces or balconies that make the coastline part of the living space.
The Olympic-size heated seawater pool is one of the property’s signature features, surrounded by striped cabanas and terraces. A private beach and waterfront club extend the experience directly to the Mediterranean, with gardens and pine trees softening the resort’s edges.
Elsa focuses on refined Mediterranean cuisine and local ingredients, while seasonal beach dining keeps meals connected to the water. Wellness and sports facilities complement the setting without turning the hotel into a large-scale destination spa.
Monte-Carlo Beach is best for travelers who want Riviera glamour in a smaller and more relaxed form. Its intimate scale, private shoreline and historic seaside character make it a particularly appealing contrast to Monaco’s dense city-center hotels.
