Over the past two decades, the Monte-Carlo Beach has experienced a popularity boom, primarily thanks to its major renovation of 2009. It is known to be firmly committed to sustainable development and environmental protection, as evidenced by the “Elsa” restaurant, with its chefs showing their mastery with zero-waste cuisine.

In this coming season, some real gastronomic pros, two-Michelin starred Marcel Ravin alongside Pascal Garrigues and Domenico D’Antonio, will be rubbing shoulders in the kitchen. The trio will be focusing on local fish dishes. Every Sunday, the Deck restaurant is inviting you to its signature Dolce Vita brunch, honouring classic Italian cuisine.

The Maybourne Beach

Boasting breathtaking views of the Principality of Monaco, last year The Maybourne Riviera opened its own private beach. The Maybourne Beach and Hotel are sharing the rocks of Roquebrune-Cap Martin, that are not at all in the way if you want to swim in the sea. The water here is much cleaner than on many other beaches.

Since the sun loungers are set at different levels, at a distance from each other, guests may enjoy a truly relaxing rest. A special pontoon will ensure perfect mooring for tenders.
