MONTE CARLO BEACH CLUB

The Renaissance of an Iconic Destination

On April 14, 2025, the legendary Monte Carlo Beach Club reopens its doors following the renovation of its restaurant and iconic pool, unveiling a concept that pays tribute to the Mediterranean maximalism of the Roaring Twenties.

Nearly a century old, the Monte Carlo Beach Club is an emblematic destination on the French Riviera, synonymous with elegance and refinement.

Dorothée Delaye reimagines it through a setting where the luxury of the 1920s meets contemporary comfort.

“Particular attention was paid to seamlessly integrating the club into its exceptional natural surroundings, offering breathtaking views over the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean maximalism of the Roaring Twenties invites us to celebrate beauty, joie de vivre and the art of entertaining, within a refined and luxurious setting where everything is designed to transcend simplicity. This period—synonymous in design with exuberance, layering and intricate detail—is the perfect alchemy to restore the soul of this iconic place”

Dorothée Delaye creates a décor that moves between memory and heritage, within a warm, colourful, slightly unexpected yet distinctly contemporary atmosphere.

Visitors are invited to reconnect with the spirit of the place—its history and its era—while embracing a contemporary design language.

For the project, Dorothée Delaye designed the entire restaurant furniture, as well as the poolside loungers and cabanas.

Materials are noble, colours often vibrant, and patterns—sometimes exuberant and often custom-made—harmonise perfectly with the idyllic setting, the light and the flower-filled terraces, evoking a sense of escape and exoticism inspired by the surrounding landscape and the sea.

Dorothée Delaye also drew inspiration from artists deeply connected to the Riviera’s aesthetic, such as Pablo Picasso, Raoul Dufy, Fernand Léger and Jean Cocteau.

The Côte d’Azur has always attracted artists—a destination where the atmosphere is both sun-drenched and convivial, and where freedom of expression is celebrated.

The Monte Carlo Beach Club by Dorothée Delaye embodies this Roaring Twenties spirit—its abundance, its visual richness.

A true immersion into Monegasque hedonism.
