Summer 2026: Europe's Most Stylish Beaches and Pop-Ups
June 21, 2026
The Fashion Maisons Have Landed. Here Is Where to Find Them
Gucci's Flora motif turns 60 this summer. Vittorio Accornero painted it in 1966 as a gift for Princess Grace of Monaco, and this season Gucci brings it back to Larvotto Beach to close the circle. That is just one story unfolding across Europe stylish beaches in 2026. Jacquemus repaints Monaco' coastline. Dolce & Gabbana arrives at Porto Cervo. Staud lands in Positano with a capsule built around the most mythologized restaurant on the Amalfi coast. Here is every address fashion chose this summer.
Gucci at La Rose des Vents — Monaco
Flora was born here. In 1966, Rodolfo Gucci commissioned Vittorio Accornero to paint a silk scarf as a gift for Princess Grace. The result became one of fashion's most enduring visual signatures. This summer, Gucci wraps La Rose des Vents Beach Club on Larvotto Beach in that same composition of blooms, berries, butterflies, and insects, with large-scale floral installations by Belgian artist Mark Colle stretching across the space and a custom Gucci bicycle marking the entrance. A special Flora collection in red runs exclusively at the Monte Carlo boutique and online. The takeover runs from May through October.
📍 La Rose des Vents, Larvotto Beach, Monaco

Jacquemus at Monte-Carlo Beach
Jacquemus returns to Monte-Carlo Beach for its second consecutive season. This year the palette shifts. Where 2025 ran on banana yellow and black stripes drawn from La Croisière. 2026 moves into blue, repainting the pier, pool furnishings, and Pool Café in a new color story that sits closer to the Mediterranean itself. Two on-site Jacquemus boutiques carry the Resort 2026 Plage collection and are styled like an extension of Simon Porte Jacquemus's own home. With Renoir sketches, Matisse drawings, and books evoking the Provençal landscape that runs through everything the brand produces. The Michelin-starred Elsa Restaurant, the newly opened La Vigie Zanoni Monte-Carlo at the tip of the peninsula, and afternoon DJ sets from Maona Monte-Carlo make this the most complete summer address on the Riviera.
📍 Monte-Carlo Beach, Avenue Princesse Grace, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin

Burberry at Hôtel Belles Rives — Antibes
F. Scott Fitzgerald spent his Jazz Age summers at Hôtel Belles Rives. Burberry spends its 2026 summer there too. The British Maison hands the Art Deco terraces, private jetty, and beach club a full makeover in a custom shade of blue drawn from the Hotel's own palette. The check appears across sun loungers, umbrellas, the original 1920s elevator, and the waterside terrace doors. Private styling appointments are available before arrival. Water skiing sessions run in the bay where the sport first arrived in Europe. Burberry ice creams are served on the celebrated seaside terrace. The 2026 High Summer collection, including check swimwear and coastal pieces, runs throughout the property.

Staud x Da Adolfo — Positano
Da Adolfo has been feeding the right people since 1949. The open-air restaurant above Laurito beach in Positano, accessible only by boat. This summer, Sarah Staudinger brings Staud into direct conversation with that legacy through a limited-edition capsule designed in collaboration with the restaurant. California sensibility meets hand-painted Positano ceramics and sun-bleached linen in a collection that reads like a love letter to the Amalfi coast. The capsule launched June 2026.

Dolce & Gabbana at Hotel Cala di Volpe — Porto Cervo
Jacques Couëlle designed Hotel Cala di Volpe in 1963 as an ancient fishing village, and Dolce & Gabbana dresses it this summer in Maiolica Gialla, the yellow majolica print presented here in a vibrant new colorway that reads like distilled southern Italian sunshine. The two terraces of the Atrium Bar, among the most photographed spots on Costa Smeralda, carry decorated cabanas and hand-painted vases in the Maison's signature aesthetic. A Dolce & Gabbana pop-up store carries an exclusive selection of clothing and accessories designed for the season.

Dior at Il Bacaro, Hotel Cipriani — Venice
Thirty-five seats. A garden overlooking the Grand Canal. Saint Mark's Square visible across the water.

Missoni Resort Club at OKU Ibiza
Missoni returns to OKU Ibiza for its second season. The Missoni Resort Club settles in with the confidence of a permanent fixture. The Italian Maison transforms the Hotel's 50-meter pool, the largest in Ibiza, into a patchwork of turquoise, emerald, and deep blue stripes, with fringed parasols, branded loungers, and zigzag-print towels covering the teak deck. Afternoon DJ sets run poolside. Cala Gracio's quieter bay keeps the energy precisely right. Festive but focused. Bohemian but considered.

Lacoste at ME Lisbon
Lacoste takes its tennis whites somewhere warmer this summer. At ME Lisbon, the crocodile has moved upstairs to the Attiko Rooftop Pool Bar, where Lacoste green meets the terracotta of a clay court across parasols, loungers, towels and poolside furniture. The reference goes straight back to René Lacoste, who founded the brand in 1933 after making his name on the tennis court. Cocktails, music and panoramic views across Lisbon complete the rooftop through the end of summer.
📍 ME Lisbon, Avenida António Augusto de Aguiar, Lisbon
