See & Do

See & Do
Take the circular road around Cap Ferrat for a glimpse of some of the palatial villas dotting this particular Millionaire's Row. Arguably the most stunning is the candy-pink and white Musée Ephrussi de Rothschild, a residence built by the wealthy Rothschild heiress at the turn of the last century. It's packed with over 5,000 pieces of art and is set in lovely Italianate gardens.

Private yachts have long replaced the fishing boats lining the little port of Saint Jean, but you can see glistening fresh fish for sale at the morning fish market in nearby Beaulieu sur Mer – a great place to banter with the locals. The Greek Villa Kerylos is also well worth seeing here. The Riviera's social hotspot, Monaco, is also within easy reach.

Spa
Book a massage at the hotel's Wellness centre – it offers a range of body toning and pampering treatments using Ayurvedic products. There's a gym to work out in and a sauna if you want to turn up the heat.
