Live music every night enhances the tranquillity of this spot on the French Riviera, with its beachfront restaurant cheffed by Michelin-starred Jean-François Piège. The staff here are renowned for their service and excellence. Before dinner, take a walk through the gardens of Château de La Messardière before settling in to a long evening watching the sun set.

Named after Loulou de la Falaise, Yves Saint Laurent’s irreverent muse, this Pampelonne beach club lives up to its namesake: colourful yellow and white transats, elegant white tablecloths, and Chef Benoît Dargère’s unfussy Mediterranean cooking. Dishes such as a green bean salad under smoky ricotta and crushed Sicilian pistachios give a sense of the kitchen’s register. Book well ahead. 

World-renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa has opened his doors in the enchanting 15th-century Château de la Messardière, where people can enjoy his legendary Japanese cuisine. The omakase is honestly beyond anything we've ever experienced!
