Capri, Cannes, Ibiza – fashion houses are taking over beach clubs this summer. Here’s where to check in.
This summer, beach clubs are dressing up and are dressing you with them. Across the Riviera and beyond, these sun drenched haunts are no longer just for a swim, sip or sunbathe. Think zigzag-draped daybeds, leopard-sprawled parasols, monogrammed menus, and boutiques tucked just out of the sun. Here’s where to lounge, shop, sip, and swan in this summer’s most fashionable waters.
Spotted in Ibiza: CLAP HOUSE Ibiza x Dolce & Gabbana
For the very first time CLAP has landed in Ibiza and it didn’t come alone. The beach club unveils its first sun-drenched outpost with a distinctly dolce state of mind. In collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana, the launch layers in a distinctly Italian excess: leopard print sprawled across daybeds, parasols and spilling over the upholstery like spilled prosecco softening the sharp lines of CLAP’s minimal palette of stone and sand. At the heart of the space is the new CLAP Pool Club, wrapped around the island’s largest Olympic-sized pool, flanked by sunbeds and low-slung cabanas. Between slow lunches at CLAP Restaurant and glossy dips at the Pool Club, you’ll find the Dolce & Gabbana pop-up boutique stocked with resortwear and accessories crafted for walking from day to night. And just when you think you’ve melted into the Dulce de Dolce, SEVEN Wellness arrives mid-July with cold plunges, movement, recovery, and nutrition.

Palm West monogrammed: Eva Beach x GUESS
At Palm West Beach, Eva Beach House in collaboration with GUESS turns sunbathing into a style statement, monogrammed loungers stretch toward the shore, and branded cabanas provide just the right amount of shade. The food walks a Mediterranean-Latin line, the cocktails go heavy on chill. And as the sun dips, the volume rises, a live DJ set takes over, blending ocean breeze with bass drops.

Capri diem: Dior x Il Riccio
Perched above the Blue Grotto in Anacapri a few minutes away from Jumeirah Capri Palace is their iconic Il Riccio beach club. Dressed in Dior’s Toile de Jouy, the club is all powdery blues, soft pinks, and tiger-dappled parasols. It’s the fourth season of the Dioriviera takeover, and it shows: the boutique is tucked just so, the napkins are monogrammed, and the floaty kaftans practically come with a sea breeze. Dior’s capsule may be available until summer’s end, but the scene: the espresso martinis at sundowners, DJ sets overlooking the Golfo di Napoli, bronzed shoulders on rattan loungers and delectable seafood is the kind that stays with you even long after the tan fades.

Deja-blue in Ibiza: Missoni x OKU Ibiza
Ibiza’s summer is taking a lagoon blue pill. Missoni has taken over OKU’s 50 metre pool with a vibrant technicolour twist on the resort scene. Think: zig zag towels, sculptural loungers and lagoon hues that shimmer against the island sun. Dubbed the Missoni Resort Club, the launch marks the fashion house’s first on the island, wrapping OKU’s calm, earthy aesthetic in something a little louder, a little lusher. Sunrise yoga, DJ sets and ocean-facing cocktails now come with a heavy dose of Italian flair. It’s barefoot maximalism, best booked poolside.

Saint Tropez at Florida: The St. Regis x Vilebrequin
At the edge of Florida’s Gulf Coast, the new St. Regis Longboat Key has added an adult-only escape to its grounds: the Vilebrequin Pool & Cabana Club, a Riviera-coded oasis, where the cocktails are cold, the loungers are striped, and the dress code leans resort-chic. You can spend slow afternoons between pétanque and pool dips. With views over white-sand shores and a scene that swaps beach bar buzz for coastal calm, it’s a passport-free taste of Saint-Tropez.

J’adore Cannes: Nammos x Dior
Back in Cannes, Dioriviera’s return to Nammos with a seaside takeover reads like a Slim Aarons’ frame come to life drenched in Toile de Jouy motifs, sea-glass turquoise, soft shell pink and golden sand. Set against the chalky white of Nammos’s linen-draped cabanas, it’s a sensory slipstream of summer: raffia textures, glazed ceramics, the scent of salt and SPF 30. From floaty kaftans to monogrammed beach cushions, every inch of the pop-up boutique is curated for peak coastal indulgence.
