Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons Hotel

There’s something in the air when you enter the peninsula of Cap Ferrat. You can tell before you even arrive at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat that you’ve landed somewhere timeless. Then you arrive at the mansion and step into the white-marbled lobby to gaze out at the azur Mediterranean. French palatial luxury is on display at Cap Ferrat, with the hotel and its 17 acres of lush gardens perched atop the Mediterranean Sea.

Situated halfway between Nice and Monaco, and surrounded immediately by charming seaside villages Villefranche-sur-Mer and Beaulieu-sur-Mer, feel free to lose yourself in the local culture. Or plop yourself down at Club Dauphin, the hotel’s stunning seafront pool club, and take your lunch and relaxation with a glass of rosé. After the sun goes down — which is late during the summer — tempt yourself with Michelin-starred Provençal and Mediterranean cuisine at Le Cap, or dine under the trees and enjoy the comfortable breeze on Le Véranda.

MilesAhead perks

There’s so much to do (and not do) on the Côte d’Azur. To properly experience the French Riviera at its height, we recommend a stay of at least 4-5 nights during the summer.
