For a city by the shore, it is a rather ironic fact that Larvotto Beach is the only public beach within Monaco. At the height of summer, space is scarce as parasols and lounge chairs are wedged between the polished grey stone and sand strewn across the bay. What Larvotto lacks in natural beauty, it makes up for in atmosphere as the beach is constantly chock full of the glitziest stars, down for a weekend vacation on their private jets as they swing by the sands in their Gucci.

If you can’t find a spot to lay claim to, how about opting for some sparkling, sweet champagne to accompany you at a restaurant chaise. Let the sun kiss your skin to leave a radiant, bronze glow or let the gentle breeze tussle your hair in a playful game of tag as you sit out with a plate of the freshest local delights. If you’re revving for some adventure instead, Ski Vol is the one to approach, decked out with the whole armada of kayaks, jet skis and wakeboards for the thrill seekers. Parents need not be afraid of losing sight of their children who are more than likely to run over to the exclusive garden built just for them in the eastern end, filled with slippery slides and multihued rope obstacles. Lying shoulder to shoulder with some of the biggest stars by Monaco’s bay, Larvotto Beach is a luxurious seaside delight to indulge in.
