Cap Estel, Côte d'Azur

Luxury boutique hotel on the French Riviera between Monaco and Nice

Double Rooms from around £390 per night. Flights and transfers available at an additional cost.

On a secluded private peninsula overlooking the Med, Cap Estel’s gated mansion is a superlative shot of Riviera glam. Surrounded by palms and terraced gardens, with an elegant restaurant, spa, indoor and outdoor pools, private beach, and with Monaco and Nice close by, this exclusive boutique retreat is A-list alluring.

Accommodation

Cap Estel has 14 suites and 4 rooms, spread over three parts: Le Cap is the original building; La Mer and Le Parc are both positioned at the edge of the peninsula. The suites range from fabulously spacious to vast and glamorous, whilst La Mer’s white and airy rooms, perched above the water, are more modest in size, but they have views of the pretty beach..

Activities & Experiences

Once you've fully scoped out Cap Estel and its five acres, drive to Nice (7 miles) or Monaco (6 miles), and explore the designer boutiques, chic eateries and glamorous bars. The ancient fortified village of Èze, topped with 12th century castle ruins, also deserves a recce, as does the seaside town of Èze-sur-Mer, which has some pretty beaches and perfect picnic spots.

Facilities & Services

Cinema, spa, gym, outdoor salt-water pool, indoor pool, private stony beach kitted out with sunloungers, restaurant and bar, gardens. And an excellent concierge service.
