Luxury Holidays in Monaco & Monte-Carlo

Casino Square is the centrepiece of Monte-Carlo, framed by Belle Époque architecture, luxury hotels and high-end boutiques. The Casino de Monte-Carlo remains one of the principality's most famous landmarks. Vaulted ceilings and crystal chandeliers add to the glamour that makes this casino something special. Head to the Salle de Europe, immortalised by James Bond films, for the largest selection of games or simply enjoy a cocktail with live music at the lounge bar.

Port Hercule is Monaco's historic harbour and one of the few deep-water ports on this stretch of coastline, welcoming everything from sailing yachts to some of the Mediterranean's largest superyachts. While the superyachts are certainly the main attraction, we recommend also exploring neighbourhoods around the harbour. Nearby you can find the popular Marche de la Condamine bustling with market stalls for fresh flowers and produce next to charming cafés.

Perched on a rocky headland above the harbour, Monaco-Ville is the principality's oldest district. We recommend exploring its colourful streets by foot, leading to landmarks including the Prince's Palace, Monaco Cathedral and the Oceanographic Museum. Nearby, you can also explore cliffside walking paths in the Jardin Saint-Martin, lush with Mediterranean flora, sculptural artwork, and an exceptional overlook of coastline and sea below.

Larvotto Beach is one of Monaco's most popular places to spend a day by the water. Unlike the pebbled beaches in Nice and Cannes, Larvotto Beach is a man-made beach with sandy shores along the Mediterranean. Walk the nearby seafront promenade for a variety of stylish cafés great for relaxed, seaside lunch. There are both public sections of Larvotto beach as well as private beach clubs with amenities like private cabanas and water sports centres for kayaking and paddleboarding.

Each May, Monaco's streets become the setting for Formula 1's most famous race. Drivers navigate a circuit that winds through Monte-Carlo, around Port Hercule and past some of Monaco’s best-known landmarks. Even outside race week, visitors can trace parts of the route on foot, from the starting grid on Boulevard Albert 1er to the renowned Fairmont Hairpin. During the Grand Prix, Scott Dunn can elevate the experience with expert insight into the race's history and access to exclusive viewing locations around the Circuit de Monaco. It's one of the most exciting ways to experience Monaco at its most lively.
