Mareterra

The Principality of Monaco, known for its luxury lifestyles and bold architecture, now has a spectacular new neighbourhood: Mareterra, built on six hectares of land reclaimed from the Mediterranean Sea.

The ambitious project was officially inaugurated on 4 December 2024 by the Princely Family, and is an ultra-modern example of innovation, elegance, and respect for the environment. For tourists and residents alike, this new eco-district is a place where nature and refinement co-exist in perfect harmony.

 

A visionary development: between land and sea

Some of architecture’s most iconic figures helped to design the sumptuous villas in the new district, including Tadao Ando, Lord Norman Foster and Renzo Piano, and landscape designer Michel Desvigne.

Mareterra pushes the boundaries - quite literally:

  • A 500 metre-long waterfront promenade with unrivalled sea views.
  • Green spaces covering 40% of the new district, including a wooded area with nearly 1,000 trees.
  • A  marina with 16 berths.
  • Plus 110 apartments, 10 luxury villas, and 4 town houses.

The new epicentre of gastronomy and shopping

With 12 areas devoted to retail outlets and restaurants, Mareterra is sure to popular with those with a taste for the finer things in life.

Some of the most anticipated new eateries include the 99 Sushi Bar for refined Japanese fare, and Marlow, a warm and sophisticated British-style coffee house with a dash of charming eccentricity, set to open in January 2025.

 Among the high-end boutiques soon to open is Stefano Ricci, famous for its luxury ready-to-wear collections.

 

 An exemplary eco-district

Mareterra boasts impeccable green credentials and meets "High Environmental Quality” standards of sustainability, with infrastructures specially designed to minimise their eco-footprint:

  • 9,000 m² of solar panels, covering 40% of the district’s energy needs.
  • A 600 m3 tank to collect rainwater that is then used to water plants.
  • Geothermal sea water-based heating: heat pumps use the energy contained in sea water to provide both heating and cooling.

The project reflects Monaco’s strong commitment to combining cutting-edge urban design and sustainability to offer an outstanding living environment.

 

An invitation to discover Mareterra

If you’re curious to explore new places or have a taste for sophistication and elegance, in Mareterra you’ll find the modern and sustainable epitome of the seaside “art de vivre”.
This stunning neighbourhood is an invitation to stroll along the promenade, savour refined cuisine in the restaurants, and marvel at the avant-garde  architecture. And it’s an invitation you can’t refuse.
