The Cannes Film Festival frenzy may be over, but if you’re still lusting after the sparkling turquoise waters, punchily patterned pagodas, or seething with jealousy over your satellite friend’s splashy trip to St. Tropez, you’re not alone. The Côte d’Azur is gorgeous – but there are crowds and a troubling lack of air conditioning. Fortunately, the fantasy is much easier to recreate than the flight itinerary.
Beach clubs like The Carlton prove everything looks better – bolder – punctuated by crisp white. Think citrus orange, butter yellow, and baby blue, brought stateside by brands like Article and Serena & Lily. From there, it’s an effortless mix of Mediterranean-inspired lighting (à la Anthropologie’s outdoor edition of its iconic acanthus-enclosed Eloise) and retro metal umbrella bases, bar carts, and dining tables with the kind of playful confidence only Business & Pleasure Co. could serve.
