When it comes to the summer and choosing where to spend it, there are few places better than on, in or near the Mediterranean. Here, we take a look at 6 of the most luxurious hotels on offer…
1. HOTEL DE PARIS, MONTE CARLO
Stay in the palatial surroundings of Hotel de Paris in the heat of Monte Carlo. This hotel oozes grace and elegance and is just a stone throw away from the famous Casino Monte Carlo. That and the award winning wine cellars and the world renowned restaurant Louis XV – Alain Ducasses, make for a very decadent stay.
2. VILLA BELROSE
A dream on the water, this is the ultimate hidden paradise of ST Tropez. With breathtaking views of the bay, guests enjoy personalised service and can truly relax in the stunning beauty centre, before dining in a Michelin starred restaurant and watching the sunset with the backdrop of a Florentine villa.
3. GRAND HOTEL CAP FERRAT
A palace on the French Riviera, the terraced gardens are breathtaking with the scent of a thousand flowers. The hotel is home to the renowned Club Dauphin, where you can relax by an Olympic sized heated swimming pool, private cabanas, boutiques, a restaurant and even a Kid’s Club. Exclusively private for the elite guest.
4. BARCELO FORMENTOR HOTEL
The ultimate romantic getaway, The Hotel Barcelo Formentor is surrounded by pristine waters and 1,200 hectares of Mediterranean forest. The rooms are especially renowned for their size and the sound the ocean floats around the whole establishment. For foodies, there are no fewer than five restaurants on site.
5. HOTEL DU CAP-EDEN-ROC
This is the stuff made from legends, with the hotel celebrating 100 years of excellence. Through generations, this hotel has served the rich and famous. The hotel will also be hosting the Cannes Film Festival in a dazzle of lights which is no surprise considering the historical clientele of Charlie Chaplin and Marlene Dietrich, and more recently George Clooney and Cate Blanchett.
