Also in AFAR.
At this late date a new French Riviera escape had better offer something unusual, and the Maybourne Riviera does exactly that.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set high along the cliffs of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the hotel overlooks Monaco's superyacht harbour and the coastline curving into Italy.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the sea directly from bed, while private balconies look toward Monaco and select suites feature private plunge pools.
The infinity pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The infinity pool is carved into the rocky cliff face, lined with orange loungers above the sea.
The spa and studio
The spa includes sea-facing treatment suites designed by André Fu and a reformer Pilates studio looking over the water.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
abc kitchens riviera
Jean-Georges Vongerichten serves plant-forward Mediterranean dishes under a sculpted ceiling that opens onto a wide sea terrace.
Every room of the hotel has access to 180-degree uninterrupted vistas of the Mediterranean sea and coastline stretching from Italy all the way along…
At the table
Riviera Restaurant prepares regional coastal dishes, and Le 300 mixes cocktails behind a curved blue ceramic bar.
How it began
Reimagining the former site of the historic Vista Palace, this modernist building marks the Maybourne group's debut on the French Riviera.
“The cliff-side location, close to 1,000 feet above Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, offers panoramic views of Monte Carlo, the Mediterranean, and the coastline curving into Italy.”
