Why Monaco? A Magnet for the Elite

Monaco offers a unique blend of Mediterranean beauty, tax advantages, utmost security, and a density of luxury goods and services that is unparalleled worldwide. It's where the powerful and the beautiful meet to conduct business, enjoy sophisticated entertainment, and live life to the fullest.

Event Highlights in June/July 2025:

During the summer months, Monaco hosts numerous international events that could be of particular interest to BLISSAIR passengers:

• Monaco Yacht Show (End of September, but preparation and networking in summer): While the official show takes place later in the year, summer is when the largest and most exclusive yachts anchor in Monaco's harbors. This provides excellent opportunities for discreet viewings, private meetings, and top-tier networking. For business professionals in the maritime sector or those interested in superyacht investments, this is an invaluable advantage.
• Sporting Excellence (e.g., ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo in April, but also high-profile charity events and exclusive sporting events in summer): Although the tennis tournament is in April, Monaco attracts sporting greats year-round. In June and July, private golf tournaments, charity football matches, or exclusive sailing regattas often occur, which are not publicly advertised but may be accessible to BLISSAIR clients. This is ideal for athletes seeking training opportunities in a luxurious setting or celebrities looking to engage in charitable causes.
• Cultural Highlights (e.g., Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival in November, but summer concerts and opera evenings): The Opéra de Monte-Carlo and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra also offer a sophisticated program in the summer. Exclusive galas, private concerts, or premieres attract a high-profile audience who appreciate art and culture in a luxurious setting.
• Discretion and Networking: Monaco is the ideal place for discreet business meetings and exclusive networking events. Many luxury hotels and private clubs offer secluded areas for confidential discussions.

Insider Tips for the Discerning Traveler:

Accommodation:

• Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo: The iconic Hôtel de Paris is the quintessential Monégasque luxury experience. With direct access to the Casino, Michelin-starred restaurants, and impeccable service, it's the top choice for those seeking the very best. Book one of the opulent suites with harbor views.
• Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo: Slightly quieter yet no less luxurious, the Hôtel Hermitage offers an elegant Belle Époque ambiance. The spacious rooms and suites, many with sea views, guarantee privacy and comfort. Direct access to the Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo is another plus.
• Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort: For those who prefer a more relaxed, resort-like atmosphere, the Monte-Carlo Bay is an excellent choice. It features a large lagoon, sandy beaches, and several restaurants. Ideal for families or those who want to combine luxury with leisure activities.
• The Secret Tip for Ultimate Privacy: Consider renting one of the exclusive private villas with staff in Cap Ferrat or Eze. These offer absolute discretion, breathtaking views, and the comfort of a private retreat, while Monaco is just a short drive away. BLISSAIR can assist you in arranging these rare properties.
