The Maybourne Riviera reopens for the 2025 season with a striking reimagination of its offerings, presenting an extraordinary convergence of gastronomy, wellness, and Riviera charm on the rocky coastline of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Perched high above the Mediterranean Sea and framed by sweeping views that stretch from Monte Carlo to the Italian border, this contemporary architectural marvel is once again ready to welcome discerning travellers for a summer of elevated experiences. With the return of sunny days and long Riviera evenings, the hotel introduces an expanded collection of experiences curated for modern luxury seekers who desire depth, indulgence, and a sense of place in equal measure.
At the heart of this season’s offering is a bold culinary evolution, spearheaded by the arrival of celebrated chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and the launch of abc kitchens riviera. Situated on the top floor of the hotel, this sun-soaked space channels the essence of Vongerichten’s acclaimed New York restaurants—abc kitchen, abcV, and abc cocina—into a Mediterranean setting. With a focus on fresh, organic, and sustainable produce sourced from the region, the menu at abc kitchens riviera is inventive yet approachable, presenting a celebration of plant-based dishes, light proteins, vibrant tonics, and signature cocktails that reflect the creative spirit of both the chef and the Côte d’Azur. This is not just a dining experience; it is a sensory journey where every plate tells a story of provenance and purpose, elevated by panoramic views and understated elegance.
Only a short Moke ride from the main property, guests will find La Môme Riviera—an energetic, refined beach club created in collaboration with Ugo and Antoine Lecorché, the minds behind the famed La Môme in Cannes. Channelling the same spirit of effortless sophistication, La Môme Riviera offers a dynamic beachfront experience with signature dishes inspired by the coasts of Provence and Italy, perfectly complemented by curated DJ sets, live music, and a social rhythm that invites guests to linger. It is here, amidst the sound of the waves and the clinking of glasses, that The Maybourne Riviera effortlessly balances its tranquil setting with the glamour and conviviality that defines the Riviera lifestyle.
The culinary journey continues across the hotel with the guidance of newly appointed Executive Chef Sébastien Tantot, who brings his refined vision to every corner of the property—from room service to the intimate La Piscine and Riviera Restaurant. Tantot’s arrival marks a renewed emphasis on seasonal, locally rooted cuisine, delivered with precision and warmth. A new cigar lounge with panoramic views has also been introduced this season, offering a serene escape for those seeking moments of indulgence paired with expertly crafted beverages from Le 300 Bar, which will also host mixologists from The World’s 50 Best Bars for rotating guest appearances throughout the summer.
A major highlight of the 2025 reopening is the unveiling of Surrenne Riviera, the second global location of Maybourne’s pioneering wellness and longevity brand following its London debut. This wellness destination represents a new frontier in luxury hospitality, designed not as a spa but as a sanctuary for complete lifestyle transformation. Built across three expansive floors with floor-to-ceiling views of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and the sea beyond, Surrenne Riviera offers personalised journeys that merge advanced health diagnostics with ancient healing practices. Every guest begins their journey with a detailed consultation, from which a bespoke programme of treatments and therapies is crafted. These range from infrared therapy and red-light treatments to lymphatic drainage, osteopathy, and highly customised facials developed in partnership with Biologique Recherche. Dedicated studio spaces offer a wide range of physical and mental wellness sessions including TRX, yoga, Pilates, and spinning—all with uninterrupted views that inspire connection with self and surroundings.
Membership to Surrenne Riviera is available on a seasonal basis, offering exclusive access to the state-of-the-art facilities and treatments, allowing members to integrate wellness seamlessly into their time on the Riviera. The club also reflects a shift in global luxury trends, where longevity, wellbeing, and personal optimisation are becoming central to the travel experience.
For those seeking cultural immersion, The Maybourne Riviera offers curated experiences that honour the creative and historical legacy of the region. Guests can take part in watercolour painting workshops led by local artists, embark on guided food tours of Menton to discover its unique blend of French and Italian flavours, or hike the Corbusier trail, which offers breathtaking vistas and a deeper appreciation for the region’s architectural significance. The hotel’s sommelier hosts intimate wine-tasting sessions, revealing the stories behind the bottles that line the cellar, while sunrise yoga and Pilates provide moments of peaceful reflection against the ever-changing canvas of sea and sky.
The property’s location in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin also places guests in the heart of a village steeped in history and charm. Here, one can explore the ancient Vallonnet caves, a 10th-century medieval castle, and even a thousand-year-old olive tree that continues to bear fruit in the town square. It’s this harmonious blend of nature, history, and artistry that makes The Maybourne Riviera more than a destination—it is a portal into the deeper soul of the Côte d’Azur.
As it reopens for a season that runs from June 17 to November 20, 2025, The Maybourne Riviera continues to redefine what it means to experience the South of France. Every detail, from the design of its clifftop suites to the bespoke programming across dining, wellness, and exploration, is thoughtfully composed to evoke emotion, wonder, and renewal. It is a place where modern luxury embraces timeless tradition, where nature and architecture coexist in poetic balance, and where guests are not only welcomed but transformed.
