Cannes — the epitome of luxury.
Cannes, the undisputed jewel of the French Riviera, needs no introduction. Nestled between the shimmering blue Mediterranean waters and the rolling hills of Provence, this glamorous city exudes an effortless blend of timeless beauty and refined sophistication. Strolling down the iconic Boulevard de la Croisette, you’ll find luxurious hotels, chic boutiques, and swaying palm trees that frame breathtaking views of the sparkling sea. Despite its enduring beauty, the renowned area is undergoing renovations to become a more elegant, secure, greener, and better-lit space. The revamped Croisette will be both visually stunning and versatile, catering to both business and leisure, combining luxury with accessibility for everyone.
Among these jewels is The Mondrian, a hotel that perfectly encapsulates the essence of Cannes’ allure, not to mention being stocked with premium Balmain bath products, offering an indulgent and sophisticated experience.

Upon arrival, our journey began with an exquisite dinner at Mr. Nakamoto, a renowned restaurant that specialises in fresh seafood, sushi, and classic steak dishes, each infused with elevated Japanese flavours. The artistry of the cuisine was a fitting prelude to our exploration of the Lérins Islands the next morning—a hidden gem just off the coast of the French Riviera, known for its stunning natural beauty and rich historical charm.
Bathed in the golden glow of the southern sun, the Lérins Islands are a captivating blend of tranquil beaches, aromatic pine forests, and vibrant wildflowers that burst with colour.

Returning to Cannes, our next day began with a visit to the bustling local market alongside Chef Pierrick Cizeron. There, we were immersed in the rich flavours and fresh produce of Provence, before heading into an afternoon perfume workshop at Fragonard, where the city’s storied history and a commitment to sustainability intertwined to create unique, fragrant masterpieces.
Our journey culminated with a visit to Hyde Beach Club, seamlessly attached to The Mondrian, where the golden sandy beach meets the azure sea. Here, the chic elegance of Cannes is ever-present, with its proximity to famous attractions like the Palais des Festivals and upscale shopping boutiques, making it a prime location that meets all needs.
