Destination

Monaco, an ancient principality steeped in a rich and colourful history was founded in 1861, independent from neighbouring France it stands with a monarchy, Albert II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco as its head of state.

Luxury Monaco holidays with Elegant Resorts should also include Larvotto with its delightful beach and, of course, the stylish town of Monte-Carlo which is situated at the very heart of Monaco. This area is synonymous with glitz and glamour, a reputation which has been cemented by its casinos and world famous Grand Prix which is held in May of each year. 

You’ll find that there is something new and exciting happening in Monaco across the year, with the annual Grand Prix also coinciding with the Cannes film festival which is held nearby. During this period you will be able to mix it with the “beautiful people” in the many acclaimed bars, restaurants and maybe even attend the odd yacht party. With over 150 different restaurants in and around the area, it will take more than one holiday in Monaco to dine at all the eateries that appeal to you. 

Alongside the restaurants are more than 100 shops, most of which are made up of elite brands such as Chanel, Christian Louboutin and Louis Vuitton. No holiday in Monaco is complete until you have browsed the stores or visited the Old Town quarter which is a must for cultural enthusiasts. Here you’ll find magnificent walks, parks and gardens, all of which are within easy reach. 

Irrespective of the style of getaway you are looking for, a holiday in Monaco has to be on the bucket list of all travel enthusiasts.
