Pale rosé in hand, toes buried in the sand. Picture this: the girls’ holiday finally made it out of the group chat. It’s five o’clock. You’ve spent the day sipping spritzes and dining in the South of France, slipping away to secret Sardinian coves, and stretching out as turquoise tides splash against the shore. To make it a reality, read our hotlist of the best beach clubs to book before the season slips away below. Euro summer never looked – or sounded – so good.
Ramatuelle, France
COYA Beach Club Saint-Tropez, France
Best for: Peruvian plates and Pisco sours.
Pop-ups are popping off this summer – and COYA’s sun-soaked Saint-Tropez debut is no exception. Pop over (last one, promise) to Pampelonne’s powdery shores for Peruvian plates, its signature Pisco Bar, and shaded pergolas. Slink into sea-facing private cabanas – preferably with a sparkling glass of Champagne or perfectly chilled rosé in hand.

NAMMOS Baja Sardinia, Italy
Best for: DJ sets under the stars.
Vamos to NAMMOS for Greek-inspired dishes and grooves at the club’s brand-new outpost turning up the heat at Phi Beach. Think teal-toned umbrellas twinning with Costa Smeralda’s crystalline coastline, and NAMMOS cult favourites like spicy crab tartare with yuzu truffle or risotto saganaki. Stay late – DJ legends like Peggy Gou and Jamie Jones are set to spin under the stars.

Sardinia, Italy
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France
La Môme Riviera, France
Best for: liquid lunches by the sea.
Cocooned in a secluded cove and cushioned by Roquebrune-Cap-Martin's cliffs, La Môme’s latest launch is the perfect spot for a Riviera rendezvous. Sip pink Provençal rosé and sup prawn linguine to the sound of waves beneath striped, frilly parasols fluttering in the breeze. By night, dance to DJ sets as the sun dips below the horizon.

Jondal à La Vigie Monte-Carlo, Monaco
Best for: sun, sea, and tapas on the tide.
Resting at the water’s edge and reachable only by a pine-lined path or private dock, Jondal is now having its Med moment in Monte-Carlo. Expect copious caviar, ceviche, and classic Spanish tapas swooping onto your table just steps from the sea. As dusk falls, dinners turn even more dreamy – whispering waves, clinking glasses, and golden light glistening on the water.
