The Restaurant
Perched high above the glittering Mediterranean, Nikki Beach Monte Carlo is the epitome of chic rooftop luxury. Located on the 7th floor of the Fairmont Monte Carlo, this iconic spot combines the glamour of Monaco with the carefree spirit of a beach club. White daybeds, flowing drapes, and a sparkling pool set the stage for an afternoon of indulgence. Whether you’re here to soak up the sun or join in the lively atmosphere created by the resident DJ, this is a place where the Riviera lifestyle truly comes alive.
The Location
Nikki Beach enjoys one of the most enviable locations in the Principality. From the rooftop, you’re treated to panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea and Monaco’s famous Fairmont hairpin bend — a thrill for Formula 1 enthusiasts. The combination of sea breeze, city glamour, and a prime perch in the heart of Monte Carlo makes it an irresistible summer destination. The only pity? You’re on a rooftop rather than directly on the beach, so no dipping into the sea here — but the view more than makes up for it.
The Menu
Nikki Beach Monte Carlo’s menu, curated by Executive Chef Alessandro Pizza, blends fresh coastal flavors with a glamorous Mediterranean touch. Highlights include vibrant starters like Sea Bass Ceviche, Sexy Salad with shrimp and crab, and Truffle Tuna Tartare. Sharing plates range from Truffle Pizza to hearty Quesadillas, while mains like the colorful Chirashi Bowl keep things light yet satisfying. Pair it all with a chilled rosé or signature cocktail, and you have the perfect rooftop dining experience.
The quality of food
Dishes at Nikki Beach Monte Carlo are vibrant, fresh, and beautifully presented — exactly what you’d expect from such a stylish rooftop setting. The seafood is perfectly chilled, salads are crisp and full of flavor, and sharing plates like truffle pizza or seabream tacos bring a satisfying mix of indulgence and lightness. Portions are generous for a beach club, and the quality of ingredients shines through in every bite.
Service level
The service at Nikki Beach Monte Carlo is exactly what you would expect from such an exclusive rooftop venue — polished, attentive, and friendly, without losing that laid-back beach club vibe. Staff are quick to refresh drinks, recommend dishes, and ensure your experience feels seamless. In my case, I was pleasantly acknowledged as an influencer, which came with the lovely gesture of being offered a complimentary sunbed at their pool — a thoughtful touch that made the afternoon feel even more special. During busier afternoons, it can take a little longer for orders to arrive, but the overall attentiveness and welcoming approach make you feel well taken care of.
Conclusion
Nikki Beach Monte Carlo is a sun-kissed escape that blends Monaco’s sophisticated charm with the energy of an international beach club. It’s perfect for those who want to lounge in style, sip Champagne to a DJ soundtrack, and enjoy fresh, beautifully presented food in an unforgettable setting. Yes, it’s a splurge — but with the views, the vibe, and the Fairmont rooftop location, it’s worth every euro.
