Destination Guide: Monaco

The Principality of Monaco is situated on the French Riviera and is one of the most iconic luxury travel destinations in the world.

Easily accessible from Nice Airport and close to other hotspots such as Cannes, St Tropez, and just a few kilometres west of the Italian region of Liguria, it has long been a playground for wealthy pleasure-seekers drawn by its climate and the beauty of its setting overlooking the pristine blue waters of the Mediterranean.

With a population of just 38,500, it is the second-smallest independent state in the world and a place famed for its glamour and wealth. The principal neighbourhood of Monte Carlo is home to renowned casinos, a plethora of luxurious hotels, award-winning restaurants, designer boutiques, and elegant bars. It also hosts global events such as the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, Monaco Yacht Show, and the Monte Carlo rally, as well as several key business gatherings.

Luxury travel experiences in Monaco are popular all year round because of its Mediterranean climate, which offers 300 days of sunshine per year, as well as luxury retail, gastronomy, casinos, and nightclubs.

Although the weather is good for most of the year, we recommend visiting Monaco between May and September. The average temperature ranges from 21°C to 26°C at this time of year, with cooling sea breezes ensuring relief from the heat.

If you love swimming and water sports, the best time to go to Mykonos is in July and August. The average sea temperature is a warm 24°C, and regular cooling breezes help control temperatures and humidity.

Arrive in autumn or spring for cooler weather. The weather is still great, but the slightly lower temperatures will allow for different activities to be enjoyed.
