Designed as a palace dedicated entirely to art and science, the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco, founded by Prince Albert I has been an iconic part of the legendary Rock of Monaco for over a century.  From the exquisite facades to the decoration in the salons, this magnificent building takes you into the fascinating world of the ocean.  With over 6,000 square meters and some 6,000 specimens on display to feast your eyes upon, the museum offers a welcome cultural contrast from the bustling Riviera, with an emphasis on protecting the oceans.

Discover the Quieter Side of Ibiza Next Summer

You need to act fast! Select one of the best of the few yachts available with a Spanish charter license next summer now in order to avoid disappointment. With the Spanish legislation for yacht charters being so stringent, the cream of the crop gets booked very early in the season. Don’t let yourself be fooled; there’s much more to Ibiza than bubble soaked parties. Unspoiled inland villages, undeveloped coves, and wild, beautiful countryside still exist, perfect to relax and unwind. At the Torre de Savinar, you can find the most magical views of the Es Vedra, a dramatic rock formation coming out of the ocean.
