9 am | Wake up to serenity and vitality
A superb chic and intimate setting awaits, far from the hustle and bustle of the city: the Monte-Carlo Beach, where the waves of the Mediterranean lap at the door. Make the most of the incredible vistas and soft morning light to gently awaken your senses to a brand-new day – perhaps with a session of outdoor meditation or yoga, tucked between the sea and sweet-smelling pines? A coach is on hand to guide you if you so wish. Those who prefer a more energetic morning can work up a sweat in our newly refurbished gym or join one of our group classes, which cover a wide range of sports to get your day off to the best start. The recently installed padel courts are also another sporting option. What better way to kick off a day dedicated to wellbeing and living in the moment!
10 am | Breakfast al fresco
Time for breakfast on the terrace at Elsa, complete with some simply stunning sea views! The menu includes all kinds of organic, seasonal fruit, aged cheeses and yoghurts.
Eggs are also cooked to order, and served alongside fresh, local vegetables. As you eat, enjoy the soothing sound of the waves lapping at the hotel’s private beach.
10 am | Time for fun
The meeting place for the day is the Monte-Carlo Kids Club by Petit VIP! From 10 am, the Kids Club opens its doors to welcome young and older children to an immersive, multi-cultural experience. There’s something for everyone, with a deep-sea world for 4-7 year olds and a Pop’up Beach Club for 8-12 year olds. The programme includes exciting activities such as art workshops, sports tournaments and open-air shows, ensuring every day delivers a brand new adventure!
11 am | A spot of sunshine by the sea
After your delicious start to the day, it seems only right to hit the beach. With furnishings inspired by far-off places, exquisite woodwork and expanses of fine, white sand, relax on the private Monte-Carlo Beach. It slopes gently down to the sea, just like Elsa Maxwell – the renowned American personality who famously put the hotel on the map – intended it to do all the way back in 1929. With its famous chic striped canvas cabanas providing the backdrop and bespoke cabana service available, this is the perfect spot for a little leisurely sunbathing – and a dip or two, of course.
1pm | Lunch with family, or friends
At this point, it’s time to head to Le Deck and the welcome shade of its column pergola. Not only does the restaurant overlook the gleaming, palm-lined Olympic-sized pool area – which now features glamorous and timeless new furniture selected by interior designer Dorothée Delaye – it also enjoys stunning views across the Bay of Monaco and serves delicious, seasonal food made for sharing. Dishes are creative, hearty and celebrate Mediterranean cuisine, with seafood the star of the show and a market-led menu making the very most of the catch of the day.
For lunch lulled by the waves, try Jondal at La Vigie, where you can enjoy a peaceful experience gazing out across the sea, having moored at the dedicated pontoon and settled on the terrace overlooking the sea... Jondal at La Vigie. promises an intimate lunch setting, where treasures from the sea meet flavours from southern Spain.
3 pm | Time for a welcome dip
Before long, you’re also sure to be tempted by a few lengths in the iconic Olympic-sized swimming pool, whose elegant new furnishings have been selected by interior designer Dorothée Delaye to foster a sense of sharing and relaxation. With its famous pontoon and two diving boards, it is impossible to resist and the heated, ozone-sanitised seawater really is delightful. For those who want to reconnect with the sea, the environmentally friendly water sports organised by the Monte-Carlo Beach Club will ensure you enjoy everything Monte-Carlo Beach has to offer!
4 pm | Dance, share and live for the moment
Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it at the Monte-Carlo Beach. If you fancy a party atmosphere, Sea Satin at Maona Monte-Carlo is the place to go. Immerse yourself in the festive vibe of the Cyclades, where music, dancing on tables and Mediterranean flavours mingle with the magic of Monaco until sunset.
8 pm | A dinner that’s guaranteed to please
For a gastronomic dinner that oscillates between land and sea, head for Elsa, where head chef Marcel Ravin champions elegant, delicious and responsible cuisine with passion and conviction. Expect seasonal cooking that celebrates produce from local suppliers! A creative and sustainable approach to haute cuisine of the highest quality is what’s on offer in this Monegasque Marine Garden!
