DesignSpaPlageVue merFamilleBien-être

The Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort occupies four hectares reclaimed from the sea, to the east of the Principality, in an architecture signed Jean-Michel Wilmotte that embraces glass, polished concrete and horizontal lines. We bed down in rooms in sand and taupe tones, sliding picture windows, some with direct views over the lagoon or the Mediterranean. The Cinq Mondes Spa (900 m²) offers hammam, sauna and cabins facing the water, indoor pool access included. Two restaurants including the Blue Bay (1 Michelin star, chef Marcel Ravin), Caribbean-Mediterranean cuisine served under a glass canopy facing the port. The resort bets on families: Kids Club, water activities, landscaped gardens with centenary olive trees. From 1 055 € the night, we pay for the relative tranquillity (far from the Casino) and the space, a rare commodity in Monaco ✨

Who is it for?

Who we recommend it to

We recommend the Monte-Carlo Bay to well-heeled families seeking space and lagoon rather than the Belle Époque splendour of the centre. It’s also a hotel for fortysomething and fiftysomething couples in search of spa, starred table and relative calm, far from the Casino bustle. Business travellers find meeting rooms and quick connections to the heliport.
