MONTE CARLO BEACH CLUB
(1 hour from The Mall Sanremo)
It’s been in the international spotlight since the roaring twenties, and it’s one of the most iconic and elegant places in the Principality of Monaco. The beach is dotted with gazebos and luxury cabins (Chanel presented its Cruise collection here in 2022); there’s the famous pier, the olympic-size pool and, of course, the exclusive hotel, an Art-Deco jewel designed by Roger Séassal.

FARNIENTE – CAP D’ANTIBES BEACH HOTEL
(1 1/2 hours from The Mall Sanremo)
Dolce vita is the mood at the beach club of one of the world’s most beautiful hotels, according to the Prix Versailles 2024. Facing the Lérins Islands, the pieds dans l’eau furniture in antique rose recalls the slightly pink colour of the beautifully fine sand. For an utterly relaxing experience there’s a sensory infinity pool, and guests can cool down in the luxuriant exotic garden surrounding the hotel.

VILEBREQUIN LA PLAGE
(1 1/2 hours from The Mall Sanremo)
The colourful style of Vilebrequin can be found on Ondine beach, in front of the famous Croisette of Cannes. Sip a Spritz Ondine on the terrace or sample the fish and meat specialities featured on the menu of the restaurant.

LA RÉSERVE À LA PLAGE
(2 1/2 hours from The Mall Sanremo)
There’s an ongoing collaboration between La Réserve à la Plage and Loro Piana, which dresses this beach club on Saint-Tropez’s iconic Pampelonne beach in its classic sober elegance; the decor is created by designer Philippe Starck for a carefree atmosphere and all the glamour of the French Riviera.

CASA AMOR
(2 1/2 hours from The Mall Sanremo)
Stroll along the beach and shades of beige give way to an explosion of colour: Dolce&Gabbana chose this celebrated beach club with its bohemian style to give a new twist to the unique and sophisticated energy of its Carretto Siciliano motif.
