La Réserve de Beaulieu: A Pink Palace on the Riviera Seafront

La Réserve de Beaulieu is a Riviera classic, a rose-pink Italianate palace on the seafront of Beaulieu-sur-Mer between Nice and Monaco, with its own private harbour and a heritage stretching back to the 1880s when it began life as the retreat of newspaper baron James Gordon Bennett. Belle-époque grandeur meets the deep blue of the Mediterranean.

The dining is a highlight. Le Restaurant des Rois holds a Michelin star, serving Mediterranean-inspired gourmet French cuisine beneath vaulted ceilings and sea-view windows under chef Julien Roucheteau; and Le Vent Debout floats above the water on the private poolside dock for fine French lunches beneath striped umbrellas.

For a grand, seafront Riviera stay, La Réserve de Beaulieu is a benchmark.
