The variety of dining and entertainment experiences in the Principality and the creativity, in particular, that Societe des Bains de Mer brings to this season’s offerings is truly mind-boggling.
As winter fades, the Monte Carlo magic seeds that have been sown are now in full bloom. This year, in the Principality of Monaco, spring and summer are all about the “Glow Up”—the central theme of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer’s 2025 season. Majestic and sumptuous wild rose blossoms have appeared throughout the most starred Resort in the world. This season also marks the return of sun-drenched terraces—like those at Em Sherif Monte-Carlo and Las Brisas—as well as exciting new offerings, including seasonal pop-ups that can be enjoyed all summer long. And of course, plenty of festive events, because the Monte-Carlo rhythm is alive both day and night.

In Monte-Carlo, flowers grow and the streets glow
They didn’t go unnoticed: the elegant rosehip blossoms bloomed on the Place du Casino and throughout the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer Resort. Designed by artist Céline Pagès, who “scattered Monte-Carlo with poetry,” these gigantic brass flowers, 2 to 3.5 metres tall, are adorned with powder pink, gold, sea green, ivory, and bright pink. These superb structures seek “the purity of form and the energy of the flower,” while respecting the environment. All materials used by the artists are completely non-polluting and will be recycled. On display until the end of August.
