To enjoy a cocktail while admiring the sea view, don’t forget the after-work scene at Blue Gin, the bar at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort.

It’s not bad inside either:  featuring a tasteful design, and a delicately cosy and discreet atmosphere. With its finger food menu and the boldly innovative “signature” cocktails, Blue Gin is definitely a “must-see” bar featuring a festive atmosphere and relaxing environment, so elegantly and successfully combined. The perfect place for a moment among friends or colleagues.
