The Top 5 Most Prestigious Residences in Monaco
Finding the perfect apartment among Monaco’s luxury residences can quickly become a challenge, given how scarce and often off-market the supply is. Here is our selection of five particularly sought-after addresses, from Tour Odéon to Mareterra, to help align your expectations with the reality of the Monegasque market. To explore further opportunities, you can also browse our prestige properties in Monaco.
Tour Odéon: the pinnacle of luxury residences in Monaco
Tour Odéon remains one of the most iconic addresses in the Principality. It stands out for its level of service, its exceptional height — a rarity in Monaco — and spectacular views over the Mediterranean. If you would like to see an example of a property in this residence, visit this dedicated page: Tour Odéon | Near Larvotto beaches.
Services inspired by prestige hospitality
Residents enjoy a 24/7 concierge service as well as a comprehensive wellness environment. The Sisley spa and the fitness facilities are among the most frequently highlighted amenities.

An architecture that dominates the skyline
The apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows, generous proportions and wide-open views across Monaco, the sea and Italy. The address impresses as much for its scale as for the quality of its finishes.
One Monte-Carlo: the most coveted address in the Carré d’Or
At the heart of Casino Square, One Monte-Carlo concentrates some of the most visible prestige in the Principality. Its positioning is unique: ultra-central, pedestrian-friendly, and in direct contact with the Carré d’Or. To gauge this level of address within the area, you can view this example of a property: apartment in the Carré d’Or.
Total immersion in Monaco’s most premium setting
Living at One Monte-Carlo means residing steps away from the Casino, the Petite Afrique gardens and the leading luxury brands. The address attracts both for its location and for its structural scarcity.
The Carré d’Or remains one of the most coveted areas in the Principality, whether for a primary residence or a heritage pied-à-terre. You can find other comparable listings in our selection of prestige properties.
A strong architectural signature
The project was designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners in collaboration with Monegasque architect Alexandre Giraldi. It comprises apartments ranging from two-room units to triplexes with terraces and private pools.
Confirmed services include a concierge, valet parking and access to selected wellness facilities subject to conditions. It is important to note that not all residents automatically benefit from Hôtel de Paris services without qualification.
Le Renzo: architectural avant-garde set on the sea
Le Renzo is among the most distinctive addresses in Mareterra, Monaco’s newest district reclaimed from the sea. It embodies a contemporary luxury, quite different from the more classic residences of the Carré d’Or or Monte-Carlo.
Living at the heart of Mareterra
Mareterra represents an approximately 6-hectare extension built on the sea, envisioned as a new residential and recreational district. The project emphasises a sustainable approach and a very high standard of design.
For a deeper look, you can also consult our page on new prestige real estate developments in Monaco, which includes Bay House and the most sought-after new addresses.
A heritage rarity
Le Renzo is associated with Renzo Piano Building Workshop. The apartments and terraces offer a direct connection with the coastline, and the value of this address lies as much in the quality of the project as in the genuine scarcity of available supply.
26 Carré d’Or: preserved privacy at the centre of the action
26 Carré d’Or distinguishes itself through a more discreet approach to the very top end. The building is less conspicuous than some iconic addresses, yet its level of amenities firmly places it among the benchmarks of the Monegasque market.
Security, home automation and exclusivity
Designed by Alexandre Giraldi with interiors by Humbert & Poyet, 26 Carré d’Or offers a very limited number of apartments featuring advanced home automation, continuous surveillance and a strong emphasis on discretion.
If you are looking for a premium address in the centre, the Carré d’Or always warrants a very close reading, building by building. You can complement this section with our Carré d’Or apartment page or with our prestige properties in Monaco.
Wellness reserved for residents
The residence includes a wellness area with a heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room, fitness centre and 24/7 concierge services. Transactions here are rare, which is why some opportunities circulate through private networks.
Bay House: Mediterranean art de vivre, Larvotto style
Bay House brings a more seaside and contemporary interpretation of Monegasque luxury. Located in Larvotto, the residence appeals through its direct connection to the waterfront, its light and its generous outdoor spaces. To discover an example of a property in this residence, visit Bay House Residence | Larvotto beaches.
Privileged access to the shoreline
The Larvotto district remains one of the most desirable for a clientele seeking sea, relative tranquillity and quick access to the centre. Bay House adds a luminous architectural language, designed around views and terraces.
- Direct access to the waterfront
- Proximity to Larvotto and the Grimaldi Forum
- Highly sought-after residential setting

High-end residential amenities
Bay House comprises apartments and villas. The villas feature rooftop terraces with private pools. The residences benefit from home automation, concierge services and very convenient parking access.
How to choose your luxury residence in Monaco?
Choosing a prestige residence in Monaco is not simply about selecting a well-known name. It is above all about balancing location, level of service, privacy, day-to-day practicality and long-term asset potential.
Access to off-market opportunities
A significant share of the premium market is transacted without broad exposure. The value of local guidance lies precisely in access to these more discreet opportunities, as well as the ability to filter what is genuinely aligned with your project.
To learn more about our approach, you can visit the page Sandro Piras.
Securing the execution
At this level, the quality of execution matters as much as the property itself: bank, notary, compliance, timeline, structuring, and market practices. This is often where a successful acquisition is truly decided.
If your project is already well advanced, our buying guide for Monaco can help frame the key steps before a formal offer or a targeted viewing.
Beware of overly approximate price benchmarks
If you wish to discuss price levels, it is best to rely on official or very conservative benchmarks. The differences between micro-locations, floors, views and service levels are considerable, even within the same neighbourhood.
