Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort

If you thought the Côte d’Azur couldn’t get any better, you haven’t met Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, which improves even the world’s most fabulous coastline with a pool in the tropical gardens, bistro favourites at L’Orange Vert and Michelin-starred meals on the terrace at Blue Bay. Guests can also enjoy lengthy champagne brunches, all 10 acres of the hotel’s grounds – spanning waterfalls, solariums and a lagoon – a Cinq Mondes spa and poolside cabanas on a polished wooden deck.
