Coastal Escapism
Fresh from the Monaco Grand Prix in May, there's still plenty of reasons to tap up Monte-Carlo for a summer escape. Namely the stunning renovations at the legendary Monte-Carlo Beach Club, which has unveiled a whole new look. The redesign preserves the club's timeless elegance whilst introducing a more contemporary vibe. Once you've enjoyed a dip or lazed on your stripy sunlounger, you can tuck into a new Mediterranean menu at the redesigned Le Deck, or let award-winning chef Marcel Ravin take you on a 'marine garden' seafood journey at Elsa. montecarlosbm.com
