Monte-Carlo Beach, building in Monte-Carlo, Monaco
Monte-Carlo Beach is a hotel in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin sitting directly on the coast with sweeping sea views. The building features a low, curved design in warm terracotta tones, nestled among tall pine trees.
The hotel was founded in the 1930s by the Société des Bains de Mer as an elegant seaside retreat when coastal resorts were gaining popularity. In 2009, interior designer India Mahdavi undertook a redesign, introducing colors and forms inspired by Matisse and early-20th-century fashion photography.
The name Monte-Carlo Beach signals its connection to Monaco, though the hotel actually sits in France. It embodies the spirit of Riviera leisure and attracts visitors drawn to the relaxed rhythm of seaside living.
The hotel offers an Olympic-sized seawater pool, a private beach with loungers and umbrellas, and a spa with treatments available. Bicycles can be rented and electric car charging stations are on site.
Villa La Vigie, a grand building from the early 1900s on the grounds, once belonged to fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. The estate can be rented by the week and offers a window into the property's storied past.
