The group heads down the coast to Monte‑Carlo Beach Club, one of the Riviera’s most iconic seaside spots. Cabanas are reserved.
MORNING: ARRIVAL & CABANAS
The group is escorted to a row of private cabanas overlooking the water.
Staff brings out fruit platters, iced coffees, and sunscreen trays.
AFTERNOON: SWIMMING SUNBATHING, & DRINKS
The group gathers at the beach bar for cocktails and mocktails.
Paddleboards are available.
COOKING NIGHT - THE MAYBOURNE RIVIERA
After a long day in the sun, the group returns to the hotel for showers and naps, then to a private Mediterranean cooking class led by one of the Maybourne’s chefs.
EVENING: COOKING CLASS BEGINS
Aprons are handed out.
The chef demonstrates how to make fresh pasta, grilled vegetables, and lemon‑herb fish.
DINNER: EATING WHAT THEY MADE
The group sits at a long table overlooking the sea.
Could be incredibly delicious or ...horrifying.
NIGHT: ROOFTOP WIND-DOWN
Some guests head to the rooftop bar for a nightcap.
Others wander the terrace overlooking Monaco.
A few slip away to their suites early — alone or not.
MORNING: ÈZE: PERFUME, STONE PATHWAYS, & SKY-HIGH VIEWS
Guests wind up the steep, scenic road to Èze, a village perched dramatically above the Mediterranean. The air is crisp, scented with wild herbs and sea breeze.
At the perfume factory, a guide walks the group through:
The history of French perfumery
How essences are distilled
The difference between top, heart, and base notes
Guests sample fragrances, compare favorites, and maybe even blend a custom scent. A perfect souvenir.
After the tour, the group explores Èze’s labyrinth of stone alleys, tiny artisan shops, and ivy‑covered archways.
At the top of the village, the cliffside viewpoints open to sweeping panoramas of the Côte d’Azur.
LOCATION: A private cove arranged by the resort — secluded, quiet, and framed by dramatic rock formations.
EVENING TO LATE NIGHT: Firelight, Music & Moonlit Conversations
As guests arrive, the cove is already glowing with lanterns lining the path down to the sand. The air smells faintly of salt, driftwood, and the first hints of the bonfire.
A large driftwood bonfire crackles at the center of the beach, surrounded by low seating: woven poufs, oversized cushions, and soft blankets laid directly on the sand.
A local musician plays acoustic guitar, creating a warm, unpolished, intimate vibe. Think soft covers, improvised melodies, and the occasional sing‑along.
The resort sets up a rustic beach bar with:
Hot spiced cocktails
Herbal teas
Toasted marshmallows
Chocolate‑dipped fruit
Late‑night snacks served on wooden boards
Lanterns sway gently in the breeze, casting golden light across the cove. Some float on the water in glass globes, creating a shimmering path across the waves.
