Bay House: The Residence That Embodies Contemporary
Luxury in Larvotto

Since its official inauguration in December 2024, Bay House Monaco has established itself as one of the most talked-about residential addresses in the Principality. Halfway between an urban planning achievement and an exceptional residence, this development in the Larvotto district embodies a new generation of luxury real estate in Monaco, designed from the outset for an international clientele seeking both modernity and refinement.

A New-Generation Address in the Heart of Larvotto

Located at 41 Boulevard du Larvotto, Bay House Monaco forms part of the major Testimonio II urban development, led by Groupe Marzocco and VINCI Immobilier. This landmark project, which is reshaping an entire section of the Principality’s eastern coastline, includes two residential towers for state-owned housing, an international school and a nursery, creating a complete urban ecosystem in which Bay House represents the most exclusive residential offering. The residence itself extends over eleven floors and comprises 56 apartments and five rooftop villas, each featuring its own private swimming pool and expansive terraces. The deliberately limited number of residences for a development of this scale reflects a clear commitment to exclusivity over density, an approach characteristic of Monaco’s most prestigious and accomplished residential developments.

Architecture Designed Around Light and the Sea

Designed in particular by the international architecture firm Arquitectonica, Bay House presents a distinctly contemporary aesthetic, with extensively glazed façades, clean lines and stepped volumes that respond to the natural topography of the Larvotto hillside. Every apartment enjoys a southern exposure and generous continuous balconies, designed to offer panoramic, unobstructed views over the Mediterranean Sea, without the overlooking constraints found in some of the district’s older buildings.

The architecture does not seek ostentation. Instead, it favours a form of discreet elegance, where the restraint of the materials and the generosity of the interior volumes take precedence over an accumulation of outward signs of luxury. It is precisely this sense of refinement that sets Bay House apart from many contemporary developments and helps explain its appeal to a clientele accustomed to the most prestigious addresses on the French Riviera and in major international cities.

The stepped treatment of the building’s volumes also deserves particular attention. Rather than aligning each floor along a repetitive grid, the residence incorporates a series of setbacks that create generous terraces at every level while preserving privacy between neighbouring apartments. More complex and costly to design than a conventional flat façade, this configuration reflects the level of care devoted to a project conceived as a true residential destination rather than simply a high-density apartment building.

Services and Amenities: The Bay House Art of Living

Beyond its architecture, Bay House offers a level of service rarely found under one roof in Monaco. A 24-hour concierge service takes care of valet parking, a daily shuttle service and dry cleaning, while a comprehensive wellness area, including a hammam, sauna, massage rooms, hair salon and beauty salon, extends the residence’s refined lifestyle experience indoors. A dedicated fitness area and secure parking across three levels, connected by private lifts to Boulevard d’Italie, Boulevard du Larvotto and Avenue Princesse Grace, complete this high-end range of amenities. For the five rooftop villas, private swimming pools and landscaped terrace gardens provide an even rarer lifestyle in Monaco, where private outdoor space remains one of the most desirable, and least readily available, features on the property market.

A Strategic Location Between the Beach, International School and Casino

Choosing Larvotto for a development of this calibre is no coincidence. Located approximately 200 metres from the district’s private beaches and less than one kilometre from the Casino de Monte-Carlo, Bay House enjoys a position that combines residential tranquillity with immediate access to the Principality’s most prestigious social and cultural attractions. Since September 2024, the presence of the International School of Monaco on the ground floor of the residence has further strengthened its appeal to families, offering residents direct access to one of the international schools most sought after by Monaco’s expatriate community.

This combination, seafront living, international education and quick access to the city centre, precisely meets the expectations of clients looking for a complete lifestyle in Monaco, rather than simply a prestigious address disconnected from everyday life. It also reflects the transformation of Larvotto itself. Long regarded as a primarily residential district, it is now establishing itself as one of the Principality’s most dynamic areas, driven by a new generation of developments that are profoundly reshaping its residential property offering.

For Silvio PIRAS, Director of PIRAS Immobilier Monaco: “Bay House illustrates an interesting evolution in the Monaco property market. For many years, residential luxury in the Principality was associated with historic buildings or landmark towers in the Carré d’Or. This residence demonstrates that contemporary architecture, designed to the same exacting standards, can create an equally desirable address, with the added advantage of a family-oriented lifestyle that very few recent developments offer at this level.”

Why Bay House Represents a New Generation of Luxury Real Estate in Monaco

What truly sets Bay House apart from other residences in Larvotto is the coherence between its architectural concept and the expectations of today’s international clientele: clean and understated lines, abundant natural light, integrated hotel-style services and a secure, family-friendly environment. This combination remains relatively rare in Monaco, particularly in such a recently completed development, and helps explain the growing interest the residence has attracted since its delivery.

For buyers and investors considering luxury real estate in Monaco from both a residential and long-term wealth perspective, Bay House therefore represents a distinctive opportunity: the chance to acquire a home in a newly built address designed according to the latest standards, within a district whose desirability has remained consistently strong. Its investment dimension is equally important. Monaco’s most accomplished new-build residences often enter a period of appreciation once completed and their co-ownership structure has become established, supported by the structural scarcity of new supply in the Principality.

With its recognised location and an exceptional level of amenities for such a recent development, Bay House is well positioned within this dynamic. It therefore attracts particular attention from investors taking a medium- to long-term view, as well as from families seeking a primary residence in Monaco. PIRAS Immobilier closely follows opportunities at Bay House and throughout the Larvotto district. We would be delighted to welcome you to our offices at Château Périgord in Monaco to discuss the properties currently available within this exceptional residence.
