THE DESTINATIONS — Collection 2

The Most Exclusive Destinations of the Mediterranean

The Mediterranean in its most prestigious and expressive form.

About this collection

The Mediterranean has never been just a body of water. Its most exclusive destinations owe their character to heritage and climate, to architecture and cuisine, and to the rituals of summer. In this collection we bring together coastal addresses where notable landscapes, well-known marinas, historic promenades and a social energy of their own produce an unmistakable Sense of Place.

Sense of Place Each Destination Portrait starts from a single question: what makes the Sense of Place here so remarkable?
Destination Portraits
  • Costa Smeralda — Mediterranean YachtingThe Costa Smeralda on Sardinia's north-eastern coast was created from a bold idea of refined living by the sea, and is now the leading yachting destination in the Mediterranean. Emerald-green bays, granite rocks shaped like sculpture and the renowned marina of Porto Cervo have formed a coast where architecture, nature and maritime culture are in rare accord.
  • Saint-Tropez — Riviera GlamourSaint-Tropez was once a sleepy fishing village in Provence; it became a lasting emblem of glamour on the Riviera. The port, the beach clubs, boutiques and café terraces attract artists, trendsetters and summer guests who come back every year — less for the spectacle than for the particular atmosphere of the place.
  • Cannes — Cinema & EleganceThe film festival made Cannes famous throughout the world, yet the red carpet is only one part of the town. Along the Croisette, among Belle Époque landmarks and in a cultivated rhythm by the sea, international culture, Mediterranean leisure and the elegance of the old Riviera meet in every season.
  • Monaco — PrestigeHardly anywhere else holds so much influence within such a small area. Royal heritage, grand hotels, Formula 1, superyachts and a busy cultural calendar come together in Monaco, and its reputation extends far beyond the dramatic coast. ► YouTube channel
  • Mykonos — Cosmopolitan EnergyMykonos joins Cycladic simplicity to a distinctly contemporary way of life. Whitewashed alleys, busy harbour fronts, beach clubs with style and impeccable hospitality have made the island one of the liveliest summer destinations in the Mediterranean.
  • Santorini — Volcanic RomanceFormed by one of the most violent volcanic eruptions in history, Santorini rises steeply above a vast caldera with no equal anywhere in the Mediterranean. White villages, terraces cut into the rock and wide views across the sea leave a lasting picture of romance and of buildings in harmony with their setting.
  • Marbella — Mediterranean LifestyleMarbella stands for the cultivated face of the Costa del Sol. With the Sierra Blanca behind it and the sea before it, it combines elegant residential districts, championship golf courses, Puerto Banús and an unhurried rhythm that defines discerning life on the coast.
  • Amalfi Coast — Life on the CliffsThe Amalfi Coast follows one of the most dramatic shorelines in Europe, a landscape built almost entirely upwards. Brightly painted villages, roads full of bends, historic villas and lemon groves on terraces conduct a lasting conversation between nature and Italian craftsmanship.
  • Capri — Italian EleganceEmperors, writers and artists have fallen under Capri's spell for over two millennia. The limestone cliffs, the small, intimate piazzas and a discreet sophistication still make the island one of the most lasting forms that Mediterranean elegance has taken in Italy.
  • Liguria — The Italian RivieraPortofino's harbour, the elegant seafronts of Santa Margherita Ligure, the waterfront of Rapallo: Liguria stands for the quieter side of life on the Riviera. Seafaring heritage, restrained refinement and genuine Italian charm meet along a coastline that ranks among Europe's most beautiful. ► YouTube channel
  • Ibiza — Contemporary Island LifeThere is more to Ibiza than its well-known nightlife. The island has found a new role: contemporary design, holistic well-being and remote stretches of coast now exist here naturally alongside one another. Secluded coves, beach clubs of real quality and elegant private villas show an island that is worth visiting long after the summer has ended.
