With its clean lines, cinematic views, and bold modernist architecture, The Maybourne Riviera stands as a striking new icon on the Côte d’Azur. Set high above Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, where the mountains meet the Mediterranean, this extraordinary hotel offers uninterrupted panoramas stretching from the Italian coast to the shimmering curve of Monaco.
Originally the Vista Palace, this cliffside retreat has been entirely reimagined by the Maybourne Hotel Group—owners of Claridge’s and The Connaught—as a celebration of light, form, and Riviera spirit. Art, design, and nature combine in spectacular harmony, from the glass-fronted façade to the dramatic lobby, where bespoke artworks and sculptural installations offer a bold first impression.
The hotel’s 65 rooms and suites are serene, sun-filled spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive sea-view terraces. Minimalist design, natural materials, and soft Mediterranean tones create an atmosphere of calm, while select suites feature private plunge or infinity pools for added indulgence. Each room has been carefully curated to complement the surrounding landscape, offering a sense of effortless luxury.
Dining is a highlight of the Maybourne experience, blending refined flavours with spectacular settings. On the top floor, abc kitchens riviera by Jean-Georges Vongerichten brings fresh, farm-to-table cuisine with Mediterranean and Latin American influences, accompanied by sunset cocktails from the adjacent Dante Aperitivo Bar. Riviera Restaurant celebrates the French and Italian Riviera with seasonal classics and sweeping sea views. Beside the infinity pool, La Piscine offers relaxed daytime fare—think fresh juices, truffle pizza, and grilled seafood—while the Cigar Lounge provides a refined spot to linger into the evening. Down at sea level, La Môme Riviera channels vintage glamour in a secluded cove, serving seafood crudo, signature pastas, and crisp rosé against a backdrop of waves and DJ sets. For evening drinks, Le 300 Bar serves elegant cocktails 300 metres above the sea in a stylish indoor-outdoor space.
Guests can unwind beside the cliffside infinity pool, which blurs seamlessly into the horizon, or retreat to the serene Surrenne Spa, offering holistic treatments, a gym, and indoor-outdoor wellness spaces. The chic beach club, just a short shuttle or stroll away, invites lazy days on the shoreline with loungers, cocktails, and soft Riviera beats.
Beyond the hotel, the charming medieval village of Roquebrune is a short walk away, home to one of France’s oldest castles and a 2,000-year-old olive tree. The coastal Promenade Le Corbusier offers stunning walks to nearby Menton, while Monaco and the artistic heritage of the Côte d’Azur lie just minutes away.
Effortlessly stylish and quietly grand, The Maybourne Riviera offers a unique perspective on the French Riviera—where design, nature, and culture meet in perfect balance.
