Cap d'Ail Nice Airport

This seaside gem, bordering Monaco, is a treasure for both nature lovers and beachgoers, and we’re here to prove it!

Cap d’Ail: The Sentier des Douaniers

The coastal path is a favorite among Cap d’Ail locals. It’s the perfect spot for a family stroll, a picnic, or a morning jog. The trail connects Pointe des Douaniers, Cap Rognoso, and Mala, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean as you wander almost alone in paradise. Well-marked and meticulously maintained, the trail ensures a safe and scenic adventure.

The Riviera’s Most Beautiful Beach: Mala

Nestled at the base of Pissarelles, Mala Beach is a private gem that stole our hearts. Don’t be intimidated by the steep coastal path or the 200-step staircase, it’s worth every step. Once there, settle in at Eden Plage for the best sea view. Complete the experience with a fresh fruit cocktail as the waves lap at the shore, followed by a perfectly seared sesame tuna.

The Best View of Monaco is from Cap d’Ail!

We recommend heading to La Tête de Chien. Take the route via La Turbie and turn right at the village traffic light. Your private chauffeur will follow the road up to “La Tête de Chie”n and drop you at the parking area. A short five-minute walk brings you to the viewpoint.

From here, you’ll enjoy the most stunning panorama of Monaco and the Rock, with the entire Cap d’Ail Bay stretching out below and the sea reaching endlessly to the horizon. Sunrise or sunset, the spectacle is unforgettable.

Your private chauffeur will be delighted to drive you to this magical spot during your stay in Cap d’Ail.

Where to Dine in Cap d’Ail?

We recommend two distinct experiences:

Dinner at Le Cabanon, by the Water

Located at Pointe des Douaniers, this open-air restaurant is ideal for a romantic dinner. Enjoy your meal to the gentle rhythm of the waves, served by attentive staff in classic striped sailor shirts. The tables are candlelit, adding a touch of romance to the enchanting atmosphere.

Seafood at La Pinède

Nestled at the base of the Sentier des Douaniers, La Pinède specializes in fresh, local seafood. Don’t miss the salt-crusted sea bass, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious, and to top it off, the restaurant offers an unobstructed view of the Mediterranean.
