Nicola Monteath takes a trip to the land of Michelin-starred restaurants, high-end spas, chic beach clubs and vibrant villas along the French Riviera
When in Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo has long been hailed as one of Europe’s leading luxury getaways. The tax-free principality, nestled snuggly on the coast of southern France overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, is synonymous with glamour. With Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury hotels, designer stores, and one of the most stunning harbours heaving with mega-yachts, the world’s second smallest country continues to be a prominent playground.

The Casino de Monte-Carlo, Formula One Monaco Grand Prix and the Monte Carlo yacht show are top highlights discerning travellers look forward to year after year. Personally, my return trip will be for some of the finest, most decadent soufflés I’ve ever tasted. The show-stopping dessert is served at nearly every restaurant, so whether you choose to sip coffee at the Casino Square or indulge in a degustation menu at one of the seven Michelin-starred restaurants, make sure you tuck into a glorious, fluffy soufflé.

Monte Carlo is unquestionably a fantastic destination for travellers as it combines the best of luxury, relaxation and thrill-seeking experiences with delectable culinary pleasures. One prime example of a five-star hotel that offers an amalgam of all, is the stunning Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, built in the 19th century.
