The French Riviera has been a destination for health and restoration since the 19th century, when British aristocracy arrived to winter in Nice. Today, Opera Prestige curates private wellness experiences that go far beyond hotel spa access — in-villa therapists, personal training at dawn, Ayurvedic practitioners from Monaco’s finest institutions, and bespoke retreat programmes across the week.

Our wellness network spans the eastern Riviera — from the legendary Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo to private practitioners in the Alpes-Maritimes hinterland. We place therapists, yoga instructors, and health coaches in your villa at preferred hours, or arrange access to the Riviera’s finest wellness facilities with guaranteed privacy.

Whether you are seeking a single restorative day, a structured week-long wellness retreat, or year-round wellbeing management as part of a lifestyle plan, we design the programme around you — your pace, your goals, and your preferred balance of activity and rest.

    Sunrise Yoga on the Villa Terrace

  2. 9:00 Breakfast

    Wellness Breakfast by Your Private Chef

    Your private chef prepares a fresh, nutritionist-aligned breakfast — cold-pressed juices, overnight oats, smoked salmon, and seasonal fruit from the morning market.

    Guided aqua-jogging or open-water swimming in the villa pool or in a private bay accessed by day cruise. Optional personal trainer present.

Planning

Wellness on the Riviera — Best Seasons

Spring (April–May)

Renewal Season

The most popular season for structured retreat programmes. Riviera is uncrowded, air is clear, and the gardens of villa properties are at their best.

Summer

Active Wellness Season

Sunrise yoga, open-water swimming, and evening breathwork — summer wellness integrates naturally with villa life and the sea.

Autumn (Sept–Oct)

Restoration Season

Post-summer recovery programmes are our most requested in September — the sea is warm, the air is calm, and the Riviera is at its most restorative.
