From the glamorous Mediterranean to the Atlantic’s wild beauty, our collection of luxury beach holidays in Europe showcases some of the continent’s most coveted coastal destinations, each paired with exceptional resorts and bespoke experiences designed specifically around you.
The French Riviera remains an icon of European beach holidays, and few places embody its enduring allure quite like Saint-Tropez. Here, golden sands meet designer boutiques and world-class dining, creating a playground for those who appreciate the finer things in life. Within our portfolio, guests can enjoy refined seafront retreats such as Cheval Blanc St-Tropez, where contemporary elegance, Michelin-starred cuisine and a serene Guerlain spa set the tone for an unforgettable stay. Days can be spent chartering a private yacht along the Cote d’Azur, exploring hidden coves or savouring long lunches overlooking the Mediterranean sea.
Further south, the Balearic island of Mallorca offers a captivating blend of mountain backdrops and turquoise bays. Ideal for both couples and families, Mallorca delivers some of the best luxury beach resorts in Europe, including the stylish Cap Rocat. Set within a restored fortress overlooking the Bay of Palma, this extraordinary retreat promises privacy, panoramic sea views and exceptional gastronomy. Whether you wish to explore the island’s charming villages, enjoy a private vineyard tour or simply unwind beside the sea, Elegant Resorts will tailor every moment of your stay to your exact requirements.
In Greece, the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos continues to enchant travellers in search of chic beach clubs and dazzling sunsets. As part of our handpicked collection, Santa Marina, A Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos offers a rare private sandy beach alongside sophisticated suites and villas. Here, European beach holidays take on a distinctly glamorous edge, with opportunities for helicopter tours over the Cyclades, guided archaeological excursions or candlelit dinners organised specifically for you in spectacular settings by the award winning on-site team.
For those drawn to Italy’s dramatic coastline, Amalfi Coast provides an extraordinary setting for beach holidays in Europe.
