Welcome to a road trip on the Riviera, driving beautiful coastal roads and visiting some of the most luxurious places on the planet.
The event starts in Forte dei Marmi, continues to Santa Margherita, Monaco and ends in Saint-Tropez. An ultra-luxurious week on the Riviera. Supercar included!
We start in Forte dei Marmi. We then drive north to Santa Margherita. The following day we continue along the beautiful Ligurian coast to Monaco, where we stay two nights. The last driving day we spend on Route Napoleon from Monaco to Castellane and then south to Saint-Tropez.
We will drive 850 km from Forte dei Marmi to Santa Margherita, Monaco and Saint-Tropez. The best part? A supercar is included.
You bet! We have organised 12 supercars for this event. It is a selection of Ferrari and Lamborghini cars. You can find the entire list below. You can also join with your own supercar. Due to limited availability in the hotels en route, the event is limited to 12 places.
We have selected some serious bucket list hotels for this trip. In Forte dei Marmi, we stay in Hotel Byron. In Santa Margherita, we stay in Grand Hotel Miramare. Then it is Hotel de Paris (two nights) in Monaco and finally Byblos in Saint-Tropez. All hotels are in the five-star luxury category.
Each day will be roughly five hours of driving. Sometimes less, sometimes a bit more. Besides driving, we will make stops for special activities and events along the road, like vista points, photo opportunities and other things.
The schedule for each day is breakfast at 9.00, start driving at 10.00, lunch en route, coffee break during the afternoon, arrival at the hotel late afternoon, aperitivo at 19:00 and dinner at 20.00.
Welcome to Tuscany and Forte dei Marmi. When arriving at Hotel Byron, you will check into your hotel room and the event. The supercar you have chosen will be waiting for you just outside the lobby. If you arrive early, there is plenty of time to take your car for a spin around town.
At 19:00, we will have a welcome mingle in the hotel's garden. After a short driver's briefing, we will proceed to the seafront for dinner.
