Principality of Monaco · French Riviera
The most concentrated wealth on the Mediterranean — off-market penthouses over the Carré d'Or, rare private villas on the Monte-Carlo heights, and Belle Époque residences on neighbouring Cap-Martin.
Monaco compresses more value into two square kilometres than anywhere on earth, and almost none of it is visible to public record. The Principality is a market of private introductions — the finest residences are held off-market, transacted between parties who already know one another, and seen only by appointment.
Opera Prestige holds a confidential, largely off-market selection across the Principality and its borders — penthouses in the Carré d’Or, rare villas on the Monte-Carlo and Roquebrune heights, and waterfront residences on Cap-Martin. None appears on a public platform; particulars are released on enquiry. The wider French Riviera collection extends the same standard along the coast.
Monaco is, above all, a harbour. A bespoke yacht charter can be positioned in Port Hercule itself — at the centre of the Grand Prix circuit and the Monaco Yacht Show — and held for the season or set for a crossing to Saint-Tropez and the Italian coast.
Off-Market Residences · Monaco
Carré d'Or · Monte-Carlo
A sky residence over the Carré d'Or, steps from the Casino and the Hôtel de Paris, with wraparound terraces above the harbour and the sea. Held off-market and shown by appointment only.
Monte-Carlo Heights
A rare private villa on the heights above Monte-Carlo — a near-unheard-of asset in the Principality — with pool, garden and panoramic views across the rooftops to the open sea.
Cap-Martin · Roquebrune
A waterfront Belle Époque residence on Cap-Martin, minutes from the Principality, with mature gardens running toward the sea and the seclusion the border address allows.

Opera Prestige · Cannes
Every residence in our Monaco collection arrives fully staffed — private chef, housekeeping and an estate manager — with security personnel and additional crew arranged on request.
Fully crewed motor and sailing yachts positioned along the coast, provisioned for days among the islands and crossings to Saint-Tropez, Monaco and the Italian Riviera.
A single advisor available around the clock — the tables, the berths, the transfers and every request the coast can answer, coordinated as one engagement.
Why Opera Prestige
What distinguishes a residence in our Monaco collection is not the address alone, but the manner in which it is delivered — privately, completely, and without friction.
The Cannes Guide
The Principality reads as a handful of quartiers, each with its own character and its own way of being entered. What follows is a practical anatomy of the addresses that matter.
The Centre
The Carré d’Or — the golden square around the Casino, the Hôtel de Paris and the Place du Casino — is the most concentrated luxury address in Europe. Residences here are almost exclusively apartments and penthouses, held off-market and released only to qualified clients.
The Harbour
The harbour quarter wraps Port Hercule, the heart of the Grand Prix circuit and the Yacht Show. Our concierge in Monaco arranges Grand Prix terraces, berths and access; a yacht charter can be held at the quay for the season.
The Heights & Beyond
Larvotto holds the Principality’s beach and its newest seafront residences; beyond the border, the wooded peninsula of Cap-Martin and the village of Roquebrune offer the rare private villas and gardens that Monaco itself cannot. Menton lies just past them, toward the Italian frontier.
Beyond
West along the corniches lie Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Nice — the full arc of the French Riviera within a short, scenic drive.
Seasonal Calendar
May
The Formula 1 Grand Prix turns the Principality into the centre of the sporting world for a week in late May. Residences with circuit-facing terraces are the most requested addresses of the year and are reserved far in advance.
June – August
Summer brings the season to Larvotto and the beach clubs, the harbour full of visiting yachts. The finest off-market residences are placed early; engagement well ahead of time is essential.
September
The Monaco Yacht Show fills Port Hercule with the largest vessels afloat and the Principality with their owners. Harbour-view residences are at a premium; the light and the sea are at their finest.
Getting to Cannes
International private jets arrive at Nice Côte d’Azur, with full customs and FBO facilities. From the apron, a helicopter or chauffeured vehicle completes the short transfer to the Principality.
Seven minutes by helicopter from Nice Côte d’Azur to the Monaco heliport at Fontvieille, with a vehicle waiting — the standard arrival into the Principality.
Fleet vehicles are held throughout your stay for movement within the Principality and along the corniches to Cap-Ferrat, Nice and the Italian border.
The high-speed service from Paris reaches Monaco-Monte-Carlo station directly in around six and a half hours, arriving in the heart of the Principality.
Have Questions
True detached villas within the Principality are exceptionally rare — most residences are apartments and penthouses. Opera Prestige sources the few private villas on the Monaco heights together with waterfront villas on neighbouring Cap-Martin and Roquebrune, the majority held off-market and released on private enquiry.
Off-market residences in the Principality are quoted privately and vary widely with address, size, terrace and season — the Grand Prix and Yacht Show weeks command the highest rates of the year. Every quotation is prepared confidentially on enquiry.
