French riviera

High on the cliffs of the Côte d'Azur, where France meets the edge of Monaco and the Mediterranean turns from turquoise to indigo, the Maybourne Riviera commands what may be the most breathtaking terrace on the whole of the coast — and it set the stage for Kristen & Dirk's wedding.

A modernist landmark perched on the rocky peninsula of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the Maybourne seems to grow straight out of the cliff face, its glass and stone opening onto a panorama that sweeps from the French Riviera all the way to the Italian coastline. Below, the lights of Monte Carlo; above, nothing but open sky. There are few places on earth where a celebration can feel this suspended between sea and air.

Kristen and Dirk wanted their day to feel less like a production and more like the best evening of their lives, shared with the people they love most — and the Maybourne gave them exactly that: pure, unhurried glamour, a South of France daydream lit by the last gold of the Mediterranean sun.
