Plage Mala

Plage Mala, voted one of the five best beaches on the French Riviera by Traveller magazine, is a ten-minute walk from the hotel.

A cove beneath the cliffs, with clear water and two private beach clubs — La Réserve de la Mala and Eden Plage — where you can hire a sunbed and stay for lunch or dinner. Speak to us and we'll reserve for you. Next to the clubs is a public beach; the hotel has beach towels to rent.

From Plage Mala you can walk or jog along the sea, past the historic villas of Cap-d'Ail, all the way to Monaco. It is the best hour of the day.
