Senses of Escape: Why the French Riviera is the Ultimate Luxe Getaway

Close your eyes and imagine...

Salt-kissed breezes through your hair, the scent of jasmine in the air, and a private terrace where you sip chilled rosé overlooking the Côte d'Azur. Welcome to the French Riviera—where elegance meets the sea.

The Riviera is a destination that ignites every sense. From the lush coastal trails of Cap-Ferrat to the velvet-lined dining rooms of Monaco’s finest restaurants, it’s where chic living and sensory travel collide.

My favorite luxe experiences in the French Riviera:

• Stay: Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel — sweeping views, infinity pools, and elite service.

• Dine: Lunch at La Chèvre d'Or in Èze, with panoramic sea views and a Michelin-starred tasting menu.

• Play: Charter a private yacht from Nice for a day exploring hidden coves and the crystal-clear waters off Saint-Tropez.

• Unwind: Schedule a bespoke spa treatment infused with local lavender and citrus oils.

Luxury Travel Tip:
Pack a lightweight silk scarf—it’s perfect for elevating any outfit and protecting your skin while you explore markets in Menton or stroll the promenade in Cannes.
