Die besten Partys beim Großen Preis von Monaco 2026: Ein echter Insider-Guide

Monaco Grand Prix weekend (4 to 7 June 2026) is the only four-day stretch on the planet where a podium driver, a tech billionaire and a fashion editor might end up at the same table. The party scene is dense, the prices are heroic, and most online guides are vendor brochures. Here is the honest version: which 14 spots actually matter, what each one costs, and how to pick the right night for your crowd.

Pick your night and vibe

The four days run very differently. Thursday is the insider’s pick (full programming, half the crowd). Saturday is the peak. Sunday is the post-race victory lap. Use the two filters below to find your slot.

The 14 best parties, ranked by who they suit

Below: the venues we’d actually send a friend to. We’ve left out anything that isn’t confirmed open for GP weekend 2026 (Billionaire, for example, doesn’t run until late July). Prices are hedged ranges in EUR. Where no public price is published, we say so.

1 Amber Lounge Monaco

The benchmark since 2003. A pop-up VIP club built on the terrace of Le Meridien Beach Plaza, with a glass roof, a runway, and a guest list that genuinely includes podium drivers post-race. Saturday with Sigala and Sunday with Roger Sanchez are the two anchor nights for 2026. Friday is the Yacht Party at Port Hercule.

2 Friday Night Yacht Party (Port Hercule)

The most-asked-about ticket of the weekend. Open bar, DJ, food, and a deck literally on the start-finish straight. Most public yachts are sold through Senate GP, F1 Experiences, Red Eye Events or Amber Lounge. The cars roar past you while you’re holding a glass of champagne. You will feel it in your chest.

3 Jimmy’z Monte-Carlo

The open-air Monte-Carlo Bay institution. Hugel on Friday, Fisher on Saturday, Black Coffee on Sunday: that is a programming flex. Black Coffee in particular makes the Sunday closing night the connoisseur pick. Strict door, smart-chic only.

4 Twiga Monte Carlo

The dinner-club hybrid that Briatore’s people built around the Avenue Princesse Grace crowd. 50 Cent, Anyma, Argy, Jamie Jones and Bob Sinclar are confirmed across the weekend. Saturday is the headline night: €650 late seating with Diamond Dinner Show transitioning into a club until 2am. If you want to eat well and stay in the same room, this is where to go.

5 Sunset Monaco (Le Meridien Beach Plaza)

The smartest daytime move of the weekend. A beach-club takeover that runs from noon to 3am, with a Casa Sunset x Mauro Colagreco tasting menu rolling into DJ sets. Blondish opens Friday, Seth Troxler plays Saturday, Adam Ten and Matteo Diop close Sunday. Same property as Amber Lounge: you can move between them without leaving the postcode.

6 Lilly’s Club Monte-Carlo

The hip-hop and commercial-electronic anchor. Rampa Thursday, Pawsa Friday, then the big names: Lil Baby and Central Cee Saturday, John Summit and Travis Scott Sunday. Younger crowd, hardest door of the weekend, tables effectively required.

7 Shellona at Turbo Monaco (Grimaldi Forum)

The melodic-techno and Afro-house corner. &ME, Adriatique, ANOTR and WhoMadeWho play across the weekend. Beach-club model with day beds, lunch, and a long sundown set. Adriatique on a Riviera beach is a hard combination to argue with.

8 Sass Cafe

The old-school glamour institution since 1993. The kind of room where guests stand on banquettes by 1am and the maitre d’ has known half of them since they were 25. A set menu of around €250 per person (drinks excluded) is the realistic GP weekend expectation. Reserve weeks ahead.

9 Amazonico Monte-Carlo

The London-Madrid jungle-room brand, transplanted to Avenue Princesse Grace. Exclusive DJ programming Thursday to Sunday across GP weekend. A la carte dining transitions to a lounge set. One of the cleanest dinner-into-late-night transitions on the Riviera.

10 Coya Monte-Carlo

Peruvian kitchen plus a Pisco Bar & Lounge that runs late. Best used as the warm-up: eat properly, sip well, then walk uphill to Jimmy’z or down to Avenue Princesse Grace. A real meal before a heavy night.

11 Buddha-Bar Monte-Carlo

The lounge classic, running a special Monaco GP menu across the weekend. Lower-tempo room, atmospheric soundtrack, useful as a pre-club dinner. Inside the Hotel de Paris complex on Place du Casino, so logistics are easy from any Casino-area hotel.

12 La Rascasse

The trackside legend. Bar terrace literally on Turn 18, with confetti, dancers and smoke machines from late afternoon onwards. Walk-in pricing works during the year. During GP weekend, expect advance reservation or guest list to be the only way in.

13 New Moods (SBM)

The non-clubber option. Dinner with live music: Coldshivers (a Coldplay tribute act) plays Friday to Sunday. Sit-down room, no door drama, no 4am sets. The right answer if you have a partner who likes live music but doesn’t want a nightclub.

14 Tip Top

Open 24/7, between Casino Square and the Loews hairpin. Where the paddock has ended up at 5am since 1938. Pizza, pasta, beer, no door. If you’ve blown your budget on a yacht party and the night isn’t over, this is the soft landing.

Getting to Monaco for GP weekend

Driving into Monaco during the race weekend is brutal: most circuit-side roads close, parking is rationed, and the few open garages charge a premium. The smart options are train and helicopter.

• Train from Nice-Ville. 25 minutes to Monaco Monte-Carlo. Trains run roughly every 20 minutes during GP weekend, late ones until around midnight. Tickets around €5. The only realistic move if you’re staying in Nice.
• Helicopter from Nice Airport. 7 minutes to Heliport de Monaco. From around €170 per person each way. Worth it on race day if you’re chasing a tight window.
• Walk between Avenue Princesse Grace venues. Twiga, Sass, Amazonico, Jimmy’z and Le Meridien (Amber Lounge, Sunset) are all within a 10-minute walk of each other. No need for taxis once you’re in the cluster.
• Stay in Beausoleil or Cap d’Ail. Cheaper hotels, 10 to 20 minutes walk into Monaco. The smartest budget hack for the weekend.

Insider-Tipps

• Book Thursday for full programming at half the crowd. Amber Lounge runs daytime, Twiga and Lilly’s are already up, and you’ll get a table without fighting for it.
• Saturday is the headline night. If you’re picking one ticket, make it Saturday: Sigala at Amber Lounge or Fisher at Jimmy’z. The room is at peak energy.
• Sunday rewards the patient. Black Coffee at Jimmy’z is the connoisseur’s closing set. Travis Scott at Lilly’s is the commercial blockbuster. Pick your lane.
• Yacht parties sell out months ahead. If you haven’t booked by April, your only realistic option for 2026 is last-minute resale (or contact us for vetted charter partners).
• Carry a black-tie option. Amber Lounge, Twiga late seating and the bigger yacht parties all enforce cocktail-or-better. A blazer and proper shoes will save your night more than once.
• Cash is rarely needed, but bring a card with high limits. Bottle service runs four-figure receipts and some venues split a bill across multiple cards reluctantly.
• Tip Top is the soft landing. When you’re done at 3am, it’s a 4-minute walk from Casino Square and the food is actually good.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What is the dress code for Monaco Grand Prix parties and yacht events?
Smart cocktail or elegant chic across the board. For yacht parties, cocktail attire works without needing a jacket and tie. Stilettos are usually discouraged on deck. For nightclubs like Amber Lounge, Jimmy’z and Twiga, expect strict door policies: glamorous for women, well-cut shirt or suit for men. Sportswear and trainers are typically refused.
Is there an age limit for Monaco Grand Prix yacht parties and clubs?
Yes. The minimum age for yacht parties and the major nightclubs is 18. Some VIP hospitality packages may apply higher informal thresholds, and ID checks at the door are common during GP weekend.
How do you book a yacht party for the Monaco Grand Prix?
Most public yacht parties are sold through accredited resellers such as Amber Lounge, Senate Grand Prix, F1 Experiences and Red Eye Events. Tickets typically start from around €550 per person for an evening package and sell out months in advance. Truly private superyacht parties are invitation-only and tied to brand or sponsor hospitality.
Which night of the Monaco Grand Prix has the best parties?
Saturday tends to be the peak night, with qualifying excitement and the strongest line-ups (Fisher at Jimmy’z, Sigala at Amber Lounge, Lil Baby and Central Cee at Lilly’s). Sunday rivals it post-race, with Black Coffee at Jimmy’z, Roger Sanchez at Amber Lounge and Travis Scott at Lilly’s. Thursday is the quieter insider pick with full programming and much smaller crowds.
Where should you stay if you want to party every night of the Grand Prix?
The two main clusters are Avenue Princesse Grace (Twiga, Sass Cafe, Amazonico, Jimmy’z, Sunset, Amber Lounge at Le Meridien) and Place du Casino (Buddha-Bar, Hotel de Paris). Staying at Le Meridien Beach Plaza puts you on the same property as Amber Lounge and Sunset Monaco. Hotels in Beausoleil or Cap d’Ail are cheaper backups if Monaco itself is fully booked.
