Each April, the French Riviera welcomes one of the most distinguished tournaments in professional tennis: the ATP Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters. Taking place from 5 to 12 April 2026, this iconic court competition marks the opening of the European season and transforms Monaco into a global centre of tennis for one week.
Set against the Mediterranean backdrop of the Monte-Carlo Country Club. The tournament’s location adds to the experience and blends the awaited sporting event with the refined atmosphere of the Côte d’Azur.
What is the history of this Legendary Tennis Tournament?
First held in 1897, the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters is one of the oldest and most prestigious tournaments in professional tennis. As part of the ATP Masters 1000 series, it consistently attracts the world’s top-ranked players Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, many of whom consider this event a key preparation for Roland-Garros.
Spectators arrive from across Europe and beyond to enjoy elite-level clay court tennis, exclusive hospitality lounges, Michelin-starred dining nearby, and a lifestyle characteristic to the area.
What can one expect for this prestigious event?
The Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters is more than a sporting event — it isa social and lifestyle highlight of the spring season.
During tournament week, Monaco and its surrounding coastal towns come alive. Guests combine match days with exclusive access events, fine dining and Spa & wellness retreats overlooking the Mediterranean. The mild April climate — typically around 18–20°C — makes it ideal for enjoying already opened beach clubs or having meals on your private terraces.

Where is the ATP Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters 2026 taking place?
While the Monte-Carlo Country Club carries Monaco’s name, it is technically located in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, just minutes from both the centre of Monaco and Cap Martin.
This privileged location allows guests to stay slightly removed from the intensity of Monaco while remaining within easy reach of the matches.
Within a short drive you will find Cap Ferrat, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Menton, Èze or Nice.
For those seeking privacy, space, and panoramic sea views, a private villa offers a superior experience during this high-profile week.
