Situated right at the heart of Monaco, Monte Carlos is the unashamedly exclusive and ostentatious playground of the rich and famous. A short stay in here really isn’t enough to soak up its unique charms and treasures. Nevertheless, there are various ways you can ensure you make the most of your trip and take away unforgettable memories for a lifetime. So if you’re planning to become immersed in its bubble of extravagance and to revel in the lap of unbridled luxury for at least a few days, here are 5 IDEAL ways to make the most out of a lavish trip to Monte Carlo.
ARRIVE BY PRIVATE HELICOPTER
Right off the bat, the most luxurious way to travel to Monte Carlo is by the comfort of a private helicopter transfer. Private helicopter services are available from countless nearby cities such as Nice, which can fly you to your resort or onto the deck of an awaiting superyacht. Luxury road transfers from nearby airports are an option, but they don’t compare to the truly spectacular view over Monaco you’ll enjoy with a bird’s eye view of things.
HIRE A LUXURY CAR
If you plan on exploring everything Monte Carlo and Monaco have to offer, you’ll need the ideal set of wheels for your trip. Luckily, the region is packed with supercar rental services that can arrange the car of your dreams before your arrival. And no supercar says glamour quite like the simply stunning Ferrari 458 Spider. Of course, if you can stretch to it, you could always buy a 458 Spider from a local dealer and take a piece of your trip home with you. After which, you’ll have the opportunity to customise the living daylights out of it with a custom spoiler or perhaps a carbon fibreglass engine cover like in this example that was fitted by the aftermarket performance car parts specialists team at Scuderia Car Parts.
SLEEP LIKE ROYALTY AT HOTEL HERMITAGE MONTE CARLO
For a mere £12,000 or so per night, you can experience one of the most famous and luxurious dwellings on the continent. Guests at the Hotel Hermitage in Monte Carlo are treated to their own private elevator, a private terrace with magnificent views over the bay, three bedrooms, three living rooms and a 24/7 butler service. Quite simply, the Hermitage is the place to stay when hitting Monte Carlo for the first time.
PARTY UNTIL DAYLIGHT AT JIMMY’Z
An unforgettable night on the town is guaranteed at Jimmy’z, which attracts A-listers from all over the world. There’s no specific dress code or pricing policy, as this luxury venue has a habit of making things up as it goes along. Indeed, getting through the door in the first place is an achievement. You can worry about your wallet once you’re inside.
HIT THE LOCAL CASINOS
Last but not least, there’s nothing quite like the combined chaos and excitement of a luxurious casino floor in the playground of the rich and famous, and the renowned Monte Carlo Hotel is the place to come and experience it. Grab a Martini, shaken or stirred, and watch as tens of millions of Euros change hands on the roll of the dice, observing those with more money than they know what to do with treating it like monopoly money. A truly unforgettable experience and an absolute must during your stay in Monte Carlo.
