Enjoy a dazzling season with Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer.

Monaco gets decked out in its most twinkling attire for Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The luxury and glamor of the Principality will warm even the coolest winter hearts thanks to its mild Mediterranean climate. Late December and early January are the perfect time to experience all the magic the Principality’s winterfest has to offer.


Whether you are visiting for a day, a weekend or the best part of a week, Monaco is a place for festivities and fun. Its sumptuous hotels are the last word in comfort, but they also host several New Year’s events. You’ll be dazzled by the procession of New Year celebrations, enchanting illuminations, and delicious meals to choose from.


A festive winter trip to Monaco is the perfect opportunity to take in lots of different New Year events. There is no shortage of festive celebrations in Monaco. In December, the Monte-Carlo Shopping Christmas Promenade not far from the Place du Casino is the place to go for luxury shopping punctuated with gourmet hors d’oeuvres. Next, you might want to get your heart pumping at the U Giru de Natale walking race that winds through the city’s streets or go for a dip during the traditional Monaco Christmas swim.


You should also take a look at what’s on in the theaters and concert halls, where you can see some amazing shows by the Opéra and Ballets de Monte-Carlo. In December, the legendary Monte-Carlo Orchestra throws its own gala. Add to that some festive Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations and that is your break fully planned!


Be dazzled by Monaco’s New Year’s illuminations

Wandering the streets of Monaco once they have been decked out in all the magic of Christmas is an unforgettable experience. Scintillating many-colored fireworks explode to light up the Principality’s historic sites and iconic squares. Make sure you don’t miss the Place du Casino at its sparkling best (its decorations take on a different theme every year). As for Monte-Carlo Casino, which stands overlooking the square as one of Monaco’s hottest destinations, a magical sound and light show casts an enchanting spell over its façade once night has fallen. Monaco’s most beautiful hotels are another spectacular setting for a New Year celebration. Enormous Christmas trees decorated with lights, lanterns and precious ornaments adorn the lobby of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo and the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort.


A festive extravaganza in the Principality’s gourmet restaurants

The restaurants at the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer pull out all the stops to welcome you to the festive celebrations in Monaco. The festive season is just the right time for amazing lunches and dinners in gourmet destinations. Oysters, foie gras, champagne and other sophisticated treats are all part of the fun on the most important day of the year. Christmas brunch at the renowned Blue Bay in the paradisiacal Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, a triply Michelin-starred New Year’s Eve dinner at Louis XV - Alain Ducasse at the Hôtel de Paris or a New Year’s Day lunch at the Grill as you gaze over the Mediterranean during a champagne toast are just some ideas for the kinds of unforgettable gourmet experiences you can try. If you are traveling with your family, don’t miss the fantastic Christmas snack time events at the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, which include luxury pastries and children’s entertainment.
