Dubai, UAE – 26 March 2026 – The Maybourne Riviera has officially reopened for the 2026 season, welcoming guests back to one of the most spectacular locations on the Côte d’Azur. Perched high on a rocky peninsula above the charming town of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the hotel boasts breathtaking panoramic views across the Mediterranean Sea, stretching toward Monaco and Italy. Surrounded by pine-scented air and bathed in warm sunlight, the property is a striking example of modernist design that captures the effortless elegance of Riviera living.
The region itself is an integral part of the experience. Nestled between the coastline and a rugged hinterland, the French Riviera enjoys a mild climate year-round, where sun-drenched landscapes meet crystal-clear waters. Lemon groves, olive trees, and cypress-lined paths create a timeless Mediterranean setting. Long associated with glamour and creativity, the area has inspired generations of artists and cultural icons such as W. B. Yeats, Coco Chanel, Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, and Jean Cocteau.
Guests can explore this rich heritage through exclusive experiences curated by the hotel, from watercolour workshops with local artists to guided food tours in nearby Menton, where French and Italian culinary traditions merge. Wine tastings led by the hotel’s sommelier offer insight into Provence’s finest vintages, while scenic hikes along the Corbusier Trail reveal dramatic coastal views and iconic architecture. Wellness activities such as sunrise yoga and Pilates take place against the ever-changing backdrop of sea and sky, and cultural excursions in Roquebrune include visits to its medieval castle, ancient caves, and even a thousand-year-old olive tree that still bears fruit.
Inside the hotel, rooms and suites are designed as tranquil sanctuaries that blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors. Flooded with natural light, each space celebrates the surrounding landscape while offering refined comfort and privacy. The signature suites, in particular, provide expansive terraces and generous living areas ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Guests staying in these suites benefit from a range of exclusive privileges, including personalized airport services, flexible check-in and check-out times, private sunset cruises, tailored wellness consultations, and dedicated butler service. Among them, the Bleu Infini Suite stands out with its private infinity pool and uninterrupted views of the horizon.
Culinary experiences at The Maybourne Riviera are equally exceptional, reflecting both innovation and a deep respect for local ingredients. Renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten brings his celebrated abc kitchens concept to the hotel’s rooftop, offering vibrant, plant-forward cuisine paired with sweeping Mediterranean views. The Riviera Restaurant presents a refined interpretation of regional flavors, drawing inspiration from Provence to Liguria and showcasing seasonal ingredients in imaginative combinations.
By the infinity pool, La Piscine captures the essence of relaxed Mediterranean living, serving colorful, shareable dishes alongside refreshing drinks and handcrafted desserts. Guests can also enjoy Le 300, a sophisticated space that transitions seamlessly from a sunlit daytime setting to an intimate evening lounge, as well as the hotel’s private beach club, where the celebrated Cannes brand La Môme delivers a lively yet elegant dining experience with live music and a vibrant social atmosphere.
Central to the hotel’s offering is Surrenne Riviera, a pioneering wellness destination that goes far beyond the traditional spa. Combining scientific innovation with holistic therapies, it provides personalized treatments designed to support both physical and mental wellbeing. Guests can experience advanced skincare, recovery therapies, nutritional guidance, and a wide range of movement practices in beautifully designed studios that open onto panoramic terraces. The integration of nature, technology, and expert care creates a deeply immersive approach to health and relaxation.
New for 2026, Surrenne Retreats introduce an even more focused wellness journey. These multi-day programs are designed around three key phases, grounding, recharging, and regenerating, guiding guests through a process of restoration and renewal. Each retreat includes personalized consultations, therapeutic treatments, movement sessions, and carefully curated menus developed in collaboration with nutrition expert Rose Ferguson. The Spring Equinox Retreat, led in part by astrologer Belinda Matwali, focuses on renewal and intention-setting, while the Anti-Inflammatory Reset Retreat emphasizes metabolic health, nourishment, and sustainable wellbeing practices. These experiences are enhanced by the hotel’s stunning coastal setting, allowing guests to reconnect with both nature and themselves.
With its unique combination of architectural beauty, cultural richness, and forward-thinking wellness, The Maybourne Riviera offers far more than a luxury stay, it provides a complete immersion into the spirit of the Côte d’Azur. Open from 16 March to 13 November 2026, the hotel invites guests to experience a destination where sun-filled days flow effortlessly into elegant evenings, and where every detail is designed to inspire, restore, and delight.
