Where to find the clearest waters to make a splash this summer.

The holiday season is underway with plenty of events organised in and around Monaco.

Summer is almost over but not quite. Beaches and the beach clubs still have their doors open.

This time of year is the most charming time to be on the coast.

The season is in full swing and events are springing up in and around town.

The Riviera has warmed up nicely and the visitors are flocking to the beaches in Monaco.

The climate in Monaco is generally great, with roughly 300 days of sunshine beaming down across the Riviera each year. However, that statistic does still leave 65 days on average when the sun doesn’t shine.

While it's true that some of the spectacularly expensive towns that surround Monaco are a popular vacation destination for the super wealthy, don't let this put you off. There is more to this beautiful part of the coast then the glitz and glamour of Monaco itself.

If you’re looking to spend 24 hours in this Riviera watering hole for the rich and famous, read on. Monaco is recognised as the second smallest country in the world, with only the Vatican City trumping it for 'petiteness'. With its wealth of extravagant entertainment and rich royal history, it's really quite tough to see it all in 24 hours but it is possible.

With the glittering Mediterranean waters, a glitzy city, picturesque harbour filled with superyachts and culinary delights, Monaco has plenty to offer its visitors. Yet just outside this tiny Principality lie some of the best day-trips in Europe, if not the whole world.

Monaco has many faces. A small principality with a Mediterranean climate, it is a popular tourist destination and a well-known playground for the rich and famous.

While many visitors to the French Riviera seek a leisurely vacation of wining, dining, and sunbathing, we know that some of you seek something a bit more exciting during your break than sneaking in a cheeky glass of rosé before midday.

Before Monaco became the glamorous principality of celebrities and superyachts we know today, it was a winter resort for the wealthy and elite in the latter half of the 19th century. Clientele would come to make the most of the gentle Mediterranean climate, local Alpine spring water and sparkling sea. 

The Mediterranean Principality of Monaco has a global reputation for glamour thanks to its glittering casinos and turbo-fuelled events. Due to its well-deserved image of celebrity sparkle and superyachts, it is definitely open for business when it comes to luxury accommodation.

Sailing along the coastline of Monaco and the French Riviera, feeling the sea breeze on your face while enjoying a chilled drink and exploring the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean – there is truly no better way to enjoy this region than on board a yacht.

Monaco is one of the most famous hotspots on the French Riviera and, while it is a lot quieter in the winter months, there is still plenty going on for you to enjoy.

With the summer holidays in full swing, we have no doubt that there will be plenty of couples out there who have recently decided to tie the knot.

The French Riviera ranks as one of the world's premier destinations with luxury superyachts, Belle Époque hotels and casinos, magnificent health spas and sumptuous restaurants.
