At Riviera Luxury Rentals, we’ve always been about offering extraordinary experiences for our guests. We’re known for providing the most exclusive luxury villas on the stunning French Riviera, but did you know there’s something else that makes this region truly unique? You can ski in the morning, and then have dinner on the beach by evening — and all of this is just 90 minutes from the coast!
Yeah, you read that right. Picture this: carving through fresh powder up in the mountains, soaking in that crisp Alpine air, and before you know it, you’re back on the French Riviera, unwinding on a terrace with a warm sea breeze, enjoying a gourmet dinner. I mean, how cool is that?
The Riviera’s Hidden Skiing Secret
Most people don’t realize that the French Riviera isn’t just about its glamorous beaches and sunny weather. It’s also home to some pretty spectacular ski resorts just a short drive away. This makes the Riviera one of the few places in the world where you can enjoy two completely different worlds in a single day.
Isola 2000, one of the closest resorts, is just about an hour and a half from the coast. It’s a family-friendly paradise with slopes for all skill levels. Whether you’re traveling with friends or planning a memorable family vacation, skiing here adds a whole new layer of adventure to your Riviera stay.
And for those who love to mix things up, how about hitting the slopes in the morning and then swapping your ski boots for flip-flops by the evening? Yes, it’s totally possible. After a day of skiing, you can drive back down to your Riviera villa and be sitting seaside, sipping a glass of rosé by the early evening.
The Perfect Family Getaway
If you’re like me, and you’ve got kids to keep entertained, this combo of skiing and beach life is a dream come true. Imagine your family making the most of the day skiing in fresh mountain snow, laughing and taking in those breathtaking views, and then finishing it all off with a sunset walk along the Mediterranean coastline.
Trust me, it’s something they’ll remember forever. And the best part? After an exciting day on the slopes, you come home to a luxurious villa where everyone can relax in style. Many of our properties feature heated pools, private chefs, and spacious living areas—just perfect for unwinding after an action-packed day.
Friends’ Trips Just Got Better
Looking to plan the ultimate getaway with your friends? The Riviera’s got you covered. There’s nothing quite like mixing an adrenaline-filled ski trip with the chic, laid-back Riviera lifestyle. You and your crew can hit the slopes during the day, challenge each other on the runs, then come back to your villa for a laid-back evening on the terrace, cocktails in hand.
Plus, the Riviera’s nightlife is just as impressive as its landscapes. Whether you’re in the mood for a beachside dinner at a fancy restaurant or you want to explore the local bar scene, you’ll have no shortage of options. And with the warm winter nights here, you can even dine alfresco — a little mind-blowing, right, especially after spending the day in the snow?
Luxury Villas That Have It All
At Riviera Luxury Rentals, we make sure that your vacation experience is nothing short of exceptional. We handpick our villas to ensure that they offer not only luxurious comfort but also stunning views, top-tier amenities, and easy access to the best that the Riviera has to offer — whether it’s beachside relaxation or a quick trip to the mountains for some skiing.
Many of our properties are located near the coast, meaning you can start your day gazing out at the Mediterranean and, before long, find yourself surrounded by the French Alps. Our concierge team is always on hand to help you organize transfers, book ski lessons, or arrange an unforgettable seaside dinner after your day in the mountains.
Why Settle for One Experience When You Can Have It All?
The French Riviera offers something that no other destination in the world can match: the opportunity to experience two of the most contrasting yet incredible environments within such a short distance. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie, a beach lover, or someone who just appreciates the finer things in life, this region offers a combination of thrills and tranquility that’s hard to beat.
So, why not make your next holiday a true adventure? At Riviera Luxury Rentals, we’ll help you craft the perfect itinerary—whether it’s shredding powder up in the mountains or unwinding by the beach. Your holiday, your way.
I can’t wait to welcome you to the Riviera. Let’s make it a trip to remember!
