Dramatic views of the coastline take in Italy to the east, Monte Carlo to the west, all bathed in brilliant light.

The setting is unrivalled, the never-ending sea and sky viewed from every room, and as you step out into the warm, saltwater breeze, all it takes is a moment to softly slip into Riviera time. The inspirational light of the Mediterranean is present in every space with the huge windows offering incredible views. The decoration is minimalist, with contemporary artworks throughout. Bespoke designs informed by the region’s modernist architecture and the sweeping brushstrokes of artistic legacy, from Cézanne to Coco Chanel to Le Corbusier.

Not satisfied with having just one internationally acclaimed chef for their dining, they have two: with Mauro Collagreco and Jean-Georges Vongerichten across 3 restaurants and a beach club.

The Spa was yet to be opened when we visited, but will be an André Fu-designed spa and we have no doubts as to its quality!
