The French Riviera possesses a rare magic: the ability to constantly reinvent itself while maintaining its mythical aura. To avoid the summer crowds and the flashiness, you must know the right doors, the right coves, and the right terraces. Here is our Riviera, vibrant and refined.
EAT: Mythical Terraces
Eating on the Riviera is primarily a matter of scenery. The salty air and the endless blue must enhance the plate.
Gigi (Ramatuelle) The most sought-after address on the Saint-Tropez peninsula. Nestled under a pine forest, Gigi has reinvented the "beach club" experience with crazy Italian elegance. You dine with your feet in the fine sand, to the sound of a live band, in a sand-and-terracotta setting that sets Instagram ablaze for all the right reasons.
Mirazur (Menton) On the Italian border, Chef Mauro Colagreco orchestrates one of the best restaurants in the world. The rotunda building overlooks the Mediterranean. The menus follow the lunar cycle and the harvests of the chef's permaculture gardens. A quasi-mystical experience.
SLEEP: Suspended Glamour
Riviera hotels have defined the standards of global luxury. We choose those that offer breathtaking panoramas.
The Maybourne Riviera (Roquebrune-Cap-Martin) An architectural feat. This hotel, perfectly balanced on a chalk cliff, offers a plunging view over Monaco on one side and the Italian coast on the other. The design is ultra-modern, the infinity pool merges with the sea, and the atmosphere is deliciously exclusive.
Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc (Antibes) The absolute myth. For over a century, it has been the refuge of stars and aristocracy. Walking down the Grande Allée to the mythical seawater pool carved into the basalt is a mandatory pilgrimage to understand the essence of Riviera luxury.
DO & SEE: The Sea, Differently
Riva Cruise at Dusk The French Riviera is best admired from the sea. We privatize a genuine mahogany Riva boat for you (the symbol of the dolce vita) to cruise along the Cap d'Antibes at golden hour, a glass of champagne in hand, all the way to the Lérins Islands.
