From hotels to restaurants to chic beach clubs, there is perhaps no region of the world where design and culinary savvy meet stunning scenery and magnificent culture like they do in the Mediterranean region, where some of the “hottest” venues exist for those wanting to enjoy it all.

On well-known Pampelonne beach in the south of France, Bagatelle St. Tropez recently opened new additions to its restaurant and Sam Baron-designed beach club, including a trendy pool and beach bar. Bagatelle Mykonos, a new Bagatelle outpost in Greece, designed by Fabrizio Casiraghi, is an ode to the Mediterranean/Aegean region, with its Mykonos village location and incredible cuisine.
With décor inspired by the surrounding sea and white stone of the Greek landscape, Beefbar Athens, located within Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, displays craftsmanship and raw materials in its design, exuding a relaxed yet refined ambiance with, of course, breathtaking views of the Eastern Mediterranean’s Saronic Gulf.

Located just a few minutes away from the bustling Medina in the heart of Marrakech, Movenpick Mansour Eddahbi is a 5-star oasis of calm. Its fresh design revitalizes the vision and achievements of the Sultan of the Saadian dynasty.
Decorated by interior designers Marc Hertrich and Nicolas Adnet, Sofitel Marrakech is a modern take on a traditional Moroccan imperial palace. The interiors of this hotel are based around an emerald green and sapphire color scheme, paying homage to the feathers of a peacock, the sacred animal of Morocco.

May 30, 2025By-the-cabin Yachting Redefines the Cruise Experience
I wish this day could last forever!” my windswept 9-year-old exclaimed, his voice soaring over the Mediterranean. He gripped the helm of a Bali 4.6 sailing catamaran off the coast of Marseille, his sun- bleached hair whipping in the salty breeze. The scent of the sea mingled with the aroma of warm baguettes drifting from the Côte d’Azur shoreline. Our captain, a seasoned sailor, subtly adjusted course, letting my son feel the exhilarating pull of the wind against the sails. As the waves lapped against the hull, I realized this was no ordinary vacation — this was freedom, unfiltered.
