The best luxury honeymoon hotels in Côte d'Azur

It’s commonly known that Paris is the world’s ‘City of Love’ – and at Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, you can get a little taste of Paris with the added twist of Monaco’s ritzy nightlife. The whole hotel has an air of romance lingering in its grand ornate lobby and inside your private luxury suite.

We recommend staying in the Deluxe Room which offers just the right amount of space for newlyweds, including a private balcony to soak up the city views.

Wake up, order champagne room service, and head outside to people-watch the bustling crowds below. And for dinner, make sure you book a table at Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse, the hotel’s signature restaurant boasting three Michelin stars and a grand dining room fit for kings and queens. 

Next on our list of the best honeymoon hotels in Côte d'Azur is Hôtel Barriére Le Majestic, a super-stylish five-star hotel situated on La Croisette, Cannes’ main promenade full of elegant bars, restaurants, designer boutiques, and hotels just as fabulous as this one. 

The biggest draw for honeymooners is its perfect location. Not only does this hotel take a beachfront spot overlooking the glistening Mediterranean Sea, but it’s also right amongst the glitz and glamour of downtown Cannes.

It''s a short walk away from Les Princes Cannes Casino where you enjoy a night of luck, fortune, and passion too. 

We recommend staying in the Christian Dior Suite, a spectacular room finished with haute couture Dior furniture. It boasts butler service and complimentary access to the hotel’s state-of-the-art fitness centre!

Located in the charming seaside commune of Èze, La Chévre D'Or is a hotel simply made for loved-up newlyweds. A Côte d'Azur honeymoon doesn’t get more top-tier than this. 

If you’re a romantic soul and want to plan a few surprises for your husband or wife, good news is this hotel has a range of things you can do – so depending on what your partner likes, get your thinking caps on. 

You can book a couple’s massage at the on-site spa, sail the seas in the hotel’s private luxury yacht, or most exciting of all – take to the skies in a helicopter tour.

Or for something simple, reserve the best candlelit table at the two Michelin star restaurant, La Chèvre d’Or Gourmet. Staff there will make sure a bottle of bubbly is chilling on ice in time for your arrival. The possibilities are endless. 

Oh and by the way, this hotel is great for engagements too!

Next on our list is another resort in Èze: the decadent Hôtel Cap Estel, situated high on a rocky cliffside. You’ll get the best vistas in The Sea Room set on the Eastern side of the peninsula. 

Another big draw here is The Table of Patrick Raingeard, the hotel's signature Michelin-star restaurant serving up a delightful menu made with fresh ingredients sourced from the on-site kitchen garden. 

Whatever you do, just make sure you also explore the best of what Èze has to offer – it’s naturally a romantic place to be.

With its Mediaeval history and peaceful vibes, you can spend your days taking a hand-in-hand stroll around the quiet streets admiring the unique stone architecture and wandering in and out of the various boutiques and coffee shops.

Last on our list of the best honeymoon hotels in Côte d'Azur is Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo. Also situated in the heart of glitzy Monte Carlo, this is a five-star hotel that oozes glamour and ticks all the boxes for French honeymooning. 

A One-Bedroom Suite has all the space and modern amenities you need for a comfortable night’s sleep, and downstairs there are five wonderful dining options to choose from, whether you’re after a light bite at lunchtime or you want to wine and dine your loved-one for a date night dinner. 

When it’s time for some R&R, you can book a couple’s massage at Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo or rent a private cabin down at the Monte-Carlo Beach Club – the perfect spot for sunbathing on the sands with a constant stream of refreshing cocktails at your service. 

It’s easy to fall in love with Côte d'Azur – and it’s easy to fall in love here too. The region’s dazzling coastal resorts abound with deluxe hotels, grand casinos, sandy beaches, art museums, premium shopping districts, and world-class restaurants for eating and drinking your honeymoon away – the finest bottle of champagne is always a must!

Whether it’s painting the town red amongst the swanky nightlife of Saint-Tropez or wandering the charming cobbled streets of Èze, Côte d'Azur offers plenty to see and do for honeymooners.

Depending on whether you are active holiday-goers, arty souls, or more laid-back sun-seekers, some of the most romantic things you can do in the Côte d'Azur include: 

• Exploring the local villages by foot or bike, getting lost amongst quaint mountain villages and admiring hillside vistas
• Browsing town markets for all sorts of souvenirs and trinkets, including things like handmade soaps, freshly-cut flowers, and aromatic spices
• Watching the sunset on a rooftop terrace bar and raising a glass to your exciting future
• Lounging the day away on a rented luxury sunbed at one of the many beach club resorts
