A place where the light breeze moves the imperceptible curtains and where fine marble shines with divine beauty. A place of great charm and allure, surrounded by the sea and tropical nature, a place where you can take in the skyline and fully immerse yourself in the aromatic scents of the Mediterranean.
In the heart of the trophy neighbourhood Carré d’Or, La Petite Afrique is, first and foremost, a unique and incomparable experience designed to foster a high-quality lifestyle.
Harmoniously nestled in the natural settings of one of the most exclusive locations in the world, the building stands out for its contemporary design and for the evocative landscape that can be viewed from the terraces. A fine and elegant building, characterised by soft and sinuous contours, enhanced by vertical greenery.
Just like a lively and dynamic sculpture in a tropical oasis, La Petite Afrique is the expression of sophisticated design with a true Mediterranean soul: it seems to blend perfectly into its surroundings, becoming an integral part of them, giving the true luxury of being able to admire the shimmering shades of the sea. The same atmospheres frame the luxurious and elegant spaces dedicated to amenities, spaces created to offer unparalleled comfort and well-being.
Extremely large and bright spaces, fine materials and polished details make it a unique, charming and quite simply stunning place.
Fine marble, iridescent mosaics, spectacular lighting, and material combinations with a colonial flavour recalling tropical atmospheres: blend together to create the evocative setting of the lobby and the spa with its own swimming pool, the perfect places to rediscover the well-being of the mind and the body.
