Christmas & New Year in a winter wonderland…

The blue sky, the sparkling bay, the stunning skyline… Monaco is a dream destination for celebrating a luxurious festive season. Stroll through the pretty streets and discover the Cathedral, Fort Antoine, the Old Town lanes, or the Princes’ Palace. Take a tour of the nativity scenes. Take advantage of the mild temperatures on the French Riviera to pose on the Café de Paris Monte-Carlo terrace and admire the Casino Square embellished by breath-taking Christmas decorations. 

Magnificent illuminations, luxury shopping and a Christmas Market…

That’s right, Monaco loves to celebrate Christmas and New Year in grand style! From 5th December, Casino Square becomes a forest of Christmas trees, twinkling with thousands of lights. The  Monte-Carlo Shopping Promenade  is also lit up, with its head-turning luxury brands. On the Monaco port, kids will be mesmerised by the Christmas Village, with its skating rink, entertainment, parades and Christmas Market, showcasing local crafts.

Serene, sensual luxury: hotels that attend to your every need…

Elegant, sparkling and friendly… So many ways to celebrate the festive season in the hotels, restaurants and casinos of the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer. We love the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo for its intimate setting, the surprises it offers your little angels, the grandeur of the Belle Epoque Room and its access to Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo for a spot of well-being and cocooning. Of course we also love the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort for its relaxed atmosphere, its breakfasts on the terrace overlooking the stunning Mediterranean and its  Cinq Mondes Spa. The Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, a Monégasque jewel sculpted into a luxury hotel and its Empire Room that we can’t stop dreaming about… All these establishments lend a fairy-tale feel to Christmas and New Year.

Stars & Gastronomy: it’s a celebration for taste-buds too…

Local specialities sampled with a sea view, brunches, lunches and unforgettable dinners, Luxury New Years’ Eve and Day… Monaco is an outstanding gourmet destination. The Michelin-star studded restaurants of Joël Garault at Le Vistamar and Marcel Ravin at Blue Bay and Orange Verte will doubtless be everything you could wish for. But you might prefer the festive menu at the Brasserie du Café de Paris, the slightly more exotic Buddha-Bar or the extravagant menu at the Belle Epoque and Empire Rooms.

New Year in Monaco: a unique New Year’s Eve!

And then it was time to celebrate the coming of the new year, with parties lighting up the night everywhere! At the Salle des Etoiles at the Sporting Monte-Carlo, the Italian trio of pop opera, Il Volo, has an unforgettable New Year’s Eve in store for you. At the Salle Blanche of the Casino de Monte-Carlo, the party is in full swing with streamers, musical entertainment, dinner and dancing. And for those who like to get their groove on into the wee hours of the night, you’ll be spoilt for choice with world-renowned DJs on the decks at the Buddha-Bar, Blue Gin and La Rascasse, three Meccas of Monaco nightlife.
