Day 1: Arrival & Cap-Ferrat charm

Your journey begins with a landing in Nice, followed by a private transfer to the legendary Four Seasons Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, a property that epitomizes Riviera elegance. After settling into your suite, head down to Club Dauphin, the hotel’s exclusive beach club, for a delicious Mediterranean lunch while gazing out at the endless blue sea.
Spend the afternoon lounging by the infinity pool or exploring the manicured gardens before freshening up for the evening. Tonight, wander into the heart of Cap-Ferrat, where you’ll stroll the harbor and charming streets before dining at Le Quai 28, a local favorite that delivers an authentic taste of the region.
Day 2: A morning in Cap-Ferrat, an evening in Monaco

Begin the day with a leisurely stroll into town for breakfast at Le Civette, a beloved local café. From there, tour the magnificent Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, with its breathtaking gardens and art-filled interiors. Next, head to Plage de Passable for a refreshing dip in the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.
In the late afternoon, prepare for a glamorous evening as you take a private helicopter transfer (or scenic drive along the famous coastal roads) to Monaco. Explore the principality’s glamorous highlights: sip champagne at the Hotel de Paris terrace, stroll Casino Square, and shop the luxury boutiques. End your night at Gaia, a stylish restaurant known for its elevated Mediterranean cuisine and lively atmosphere.
Day 3: Riviera by yacht

After breakfast at the hotel, enjoy a private tennis lesson on the Four Seasons’ courts before heading to the marina for a day aboard a privately chartered yacht. Cruise westward along the Riviera, soaking in the glamour of seaside towns and turquoise coves.
For lunch, drop anchor at La Guérite, a legendary restaurant perched on a small island off the coast of Cannes. Accessible only by boat, it’s one of the Côte d’Azur’s most sought-after tables. Spend the afternoon jet skiing or swimming before returning to the hotel for a massage and facial at the spa. In the evening, enjoy a relaxed yet elegant dinner at La Véranda, the Four Seasons’ own Mediterranean-inspired restaurant with sweeping sea views.
Day 4: Èze, Antibes & farewell dinner

Start your morning with a workout at the hotel gym, followed by a cappuccino at Le Civette. Explore the local market in Cap-Ferrat, brimming with artisanal goods and Provençal specialties, before taking a short drive up to Èze, a medieval hilltop village famed for its panoramic views. Wander through cobblestone lanes, visit the Exotic Garden, and enjoy lunch at Café du Jardin, where the scenery is as delightful as the cuisine.
In the late afternoon, take a private transfer to Antibes. Stroll the old town’s charming streets before ending your journey with a farewell dinner at the legendary Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, where The Grill offers refined French cuisine in one of the Riviera’s most iconic settings.
