Nikki Beach Monte Carlo is officially back for the season, bringing fresh new dishes, sunset cocktails and Monaco energy to the rooftop of the Fairmont Monte Carlo — just as Riviera slips into summer mode.
There is something about reopening season in Monaco that signals the real beginning of summer, and few places capture that mood better than Nikki Beach. Perched above the Mediterranean on the rooftop of the Fairmont Monte Carlo, the iconic venue has reopened with a refreshed menu, panoramic views over the sea and Mareterra, and an atmosphere that effortlessly carries guests from long lunches into sunset cocktails and DJ-fuelled evenings.
New season dishes arrive at Nikki Beach Monte Carlo
This year’s menu introduces several standout additions under the direction of Corporate Executive Chef Alessandro Pizza, whose approach combines Mediterranean ingredients with globally inspired flavours. Among the highlights are the delicate tataki tuna, a vibrant fattoush salad and two new pasta dishes that are made for Riviera afternoons: pasta al gamberi and mezze maniche with zucchini cream and Sorrento lemon confit.
Classic favourites remain firmly in place, including the ever-popular Crispy Sea Bream Tacos and Nikki Beach’s signature Sexy Salad, alongside an extensive cocktail menu designed for poolside afternoons overlooking Monaco’s coastline.
Dessert, cocktails and sunset views over Mareterra
Desserts continue the light, summery mood. New additions include the yuzu lemon cloud served with yuzu sorbet, fresh mango and mango coulis, as well as a raspberry coconut panna cotta that is perfectly suited to warmer evenings. Returning favourites include the theatrical tableside tiramisu and the indulgent Chocolate Lover dessert.
But Nikki Beach has always been about more than the food alone. Plush daybeds surrounding the rooftop pool, Champagne service, sea breezes and Mediterranean views create the unmistakable atmosphere that has made the brand a summer institution across the Riviera. As the afternoon drifts into evening, the soundtrack shifts with it, as resident DJs bring the energy up just in time for sunset over the harbour.
Monaco’s rooftop summer destination returns
The reopening also arrives as Monaco’s social calendar begins accelerating into its busiest months, with Nikki Beach once again expected to become one of the season’s central gathering spots for both visitors and locals.
Between the new menu, live entertainment lineup and rooftop setting high above the Principality, Nikki Beach Monte Carlo feels once again exactly where summer in Monaco begins.
