The Trendiest Beach Clubs on the Riviera
Luxury houses invite themselves to the beach and take up residence in the most popular destinations on the Riviera.
Vilebrequin à L’Ondine
Sun-kissed, chic and responsible: the private Vilebrequin beach promises a singular enchanted interlude on the Côte d'Azur.
The Vilebrequin brand has taken up permanent residence at one of Cannes' most popular private beaches: L'Ondine. A colorful new 'beach haven' from swimwear brand and cafe, Vilebrequin La Plage, and thanks to the whimsical and surreal creative direction of French designer Vincent Darré, Vilebrequin has taken that same playful and stylish spirit to transform the entire beach club into an immersive experience that aesthetically echoes the apparel.
“We made the costumes. Now we make the scene. Warm and welcoming colours, appetizing sea creatures, elegance served with a smile... Vilebrequin was born on the beach – and on the beach we feel at home. Every summer since 1971, Vilebrequin swimsuits give you an appointment with the sun. It was only a matter of time before we put up our umbrellas on the Côte d'Azur!” says Roland Herlory, CEO of the French brand. –By Katie Lister

Dior in Shellona
The most prestigious and girly cocoon of the summer takes place in Shellona thanks to an ultra-stylish residence, signed Dior.
A tribute to Christian Dior's passion for the Mediterranean art of living, Dior is inaugurating a unique pop-up store in Saint-Tropez, in the heart of Shellona Beach. In this exceptional setting, we find the very popular models from the Dioriviera capsule, adorned this season with a Wild Toile de Jouy, which also illuminates the deckchairs, deckchairs, cushions and parasols on the beach.
In some places, you can come across animals transformed into life-size works, as if sculpted entirely in the sand, while the House's iconic pieces, from the Dior Book Tote to the scarves, are exhibited like pieces of art.

Jacquemus at Indie Beach
Jacquemus, the darling designer of fashion aficionados, is returning to his quarters in the south where he is from.
Tobias Chaix, Raphaël Blanc and Vincent Luftman, the trio at the head of Indie Group, have invited Simon Porte Jacquemus to dress up Indie Beach for a summer. The entire beach is thus adorned with the designer's summer bayadère - we even find his touch even in the plates with Mediterranean notes - while the boutique, also signed Jacquemus, gives pride of place to the “ÉTÉ” capsule collection. It is full of close-fitting silhouettes in sunny shades, but also iconic bags and hats, reinterpreted in exclusive colors.

Orlebar Brown at the Carlton
The Carlton, the rebirth of a legendary address
For the interior renovation of this extraordinary project, everything has changed... or almost! 332 rooms including 52 suites, two wings added to the historic facade with 37 studio apartments dedicated to long stays. Two restaurants: the Riviera and the Rüya, a Tea Lounge, Bar 58 at street number and a private Carlton Beach Club. And in addition to the gym and treatment rooms, there is a boxing ring inaugurated by the American Mike Tyson!
Behind these titanic works, 750 specialized craftsmen and the Frenchman Tristan Auer. An internationally renowned interior designer, he is known for his unique and geometric approaches.
New garden, new outdoor infinity pool and, a few steps from the pool at the Regent Carlton Cannes, the opening of the boutique of luxury swimwear brand Orlebar Brown. An ideal destination for Orlebar Brown to showcase his love of sun, sea, travel and good times. Swim shorts, fitted polo shirts, t-shirts and shorts in a wide variety of lengths and colors, avant-garde prints, bright colors, short or long models: this elegant range is as eclectic as it is varied. The preservation of the environment is inscribed in the DNA of the brand. On their swim shorts 100% of the nylon is recycled. Merino wool, cashmere, organic cotton, linen: so many materials that will all come from recycling by 2023 (at present, this already concerns half of the materials used).
A makeover of one of the most famous hotels in the world, Le Carlton while remaining true to its spirit to create a turning point towards the future! –By Aurelie Jay
