High-end incentive trips to the glamorous Côte d'Azur!
For one of our regular clients, we have already had the pleasure of organising several fantastic incentive trips, including to New York, Swedish Lapland and Austria. This time they opted for an incentive trip to a high-end summer destination, namely the sunny south coast of the French Riviera: the glamorous Cote d’Azur!
An extra candy day in France!
Initially, we were supposed to fly from Schiphol to Nice on Thursday morning, but a few days before departure, we received notification from KLM that our outbound flight had been cancelled… A real shame, of course! At such times, it’s crucial to act quickly and engage directly with the client before alternative flights are fully booked. Together with our client, we decided to extend the trip by a day and depart late on Wednesday evening for Nice, staying at an airport hotel for the first night. This way, we could still proceed with the full programme on location.
Hello Monaco
The first full day of this high-end incentive trip was spent not in France but in the charming dwarf state of Monaco, located about three-quarters of an hour's drive from Nice. After a beautiful walk downhill from the world-famous Casino and past sights such as the renowned F1 Circuit, we ended up in the bay of Cap d’Ail. Here, the group was warmly welcomed with a glass of bubbly and a sharing lunch at a trendy beach club. The atmosphere was great and soon we were further enjoying ourselves in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea... Cheers!
Exclusive helicopter flight to Saint-Tropez
At the end of the afternoon, the group departed for the glamorous Saint-Tropez, located about a 2.5-hour drive from Monaco or a mere 30-minute helicopter flight away! The choice was therefore quickly made: by helicopter, of course! The flight was fantastic and ended in a vineyard near the hotel. Here, the VIP transfer service was ready to take the group to the 5-star hotel, where they were welcomed with a cold glass of rosé. A unique experience and, both literally and figuratively, one of the highlights of this high-end incentive trip!
Côte d'Azur by day
Besides this helicopter flight, there were several other fantastic activities on the agenda. The following day, for example, the group spent their time on their own private yacht, no less than 30 metres long (complete with DJ and champagne, of course), and they enjoyed a delightful day at Nikki Beach in their own VIP area, they explored the mythical Saint Tropez surf by jet ski and enjoyed a delicious lunch at a unique wine château.
The French Riviera by night
The group lacked for nothing in the evenings either. For instance, dinner was served on the first evening at the restaurant The Quay. A fantastic restaurant frequented by artists, the fashion world, and the elite! The kitchen serves delicious Franco-Asian cuisine at a high standard. Le Quai is also known for its sensational atmosphere: the DJ provides great beats and dancers and singers offer surprising performances. Dancing can go on until the early hours of the morning at this trendy spot. It's no wonder that none other than Sylvie Meis was dining at the table right next to the group this evening? Additionally, The King's Cellars – the Saint-Tropez nightclub – was turned upside down. Naturally, we had arranged VIP entrance and a private area for the group.
The group thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful incentive trip to the sunny Côte d’Azur. Onwards to the next one! Afterwards, we received this glowing quote from our client:
