Despite the infamous nature of the Monaco Grand Prix, it remains one of the most captivating, popular, and legendary races on the Formula One calendar.

The lavish location is, of course, one of the big reasons behind its prominence. The billionaires' playground sees the stars rock up in Port Hercule on huge yachts flanked by models while wealthy residents watch on from their balcony pools in the sunshine.

Funnily enough, the best racing of the Monaco GP doesn't tend to come around until the bad weather that drives the wealthy inside comes out! The 2024 edition was another sunny day lacking in overtaking opportunities, but it was a special occasion nonetheless, thanks to Charles Leclerc, a local lad, finally topping the podium. Looking to capitalise on the momentum, luxury operators are already offering specialised yacht packages for 2025.

The ultimate off-track Monaco Grand Prix experience

You can be on one of those incredible yachts in Port Hercule that overlooks the racing opposite the grandstand at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix with a special hospitality package that's already being made available. Indeed, the demand is so high that, even just as the 2024 race has concluded, Ultimate Driving Tours is already taking enquiries for Thursday 22 May to Monday 26 May next year. It's also possible to plan even further ahead.

Of course, these VIP luxury yacht hospitality packages offer more than a big white vessel parked up by the streets of Monaco. Guests get the chartered yachts all to themselves, private cabins, a premium bar, gourmet catering, and a chance to visit the coveted Paddock Club. Further, helicopter tours, boutique shopping trips, and adventures into the famed Monaco nightlife can all be added to the itineraries.

Venturing beyond the racing

While it would be an incredible experience to get such a lavish front-row seat to one of the most legendary races on the Formula One calendar, being in Monaco opens up a slew of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Chief among the things to do away from the Grand Prix is to visit Casino de Monte-Carlo. Just as iconic as the race weekend, the entertainment venue's belle-epoque architecture is simply stunning, and within, it's all about luxury gaming.

Now, you might think that you've already seen and experienced luxurious casino gaming. After all, the live casino options available at bingo online sites are world-class. Streamed from decked-out casino rooms with professional croupiers running the show, its lavish card, table, and game show play even while you're in your sweats on the sofa! At Casino de Monte-Carlo, of course, you'd need to put on your best dress - but it's well worth it!

After a night of betting chips, you could explore the Prince's Palace of Monaco atop Le Rocher - where you can see the Hercule Gallery, Mirror Gallery, and Throne Room - go to the Oceanographic Museum, and take a stroll through the stunning Princess Grace Japanese Garden. The latter might just be the most calming and Zen location in all of Europe. If that's not chilled out enough, there's always the stunning Larvotto Beach.

Getting on the path to the ultimate Monaco and Formula One experience is now just an online enquiry form away.
