What I actually paid & how
$3,349 per person for the full weekend.
Every line item below.
This was a trip for a group of 8 people. We split 4 specific costs — the villa, chef, private driver, and table at La Rascasse. Everything else is priced per person, so group size doesn’t change those costs. I’ve flagged the shared items below so you can adjust the math for your own group.
Watch all practice sessions from a yacht deck or a private terrace. I chose the terrace.
K grandstand, harbor view. Saturday qualifying session.
Yacht party in Monaco harbor. DJs, live entertainment, open bar.
The Grand Prix’s biggest beach party.
The iconic club on the F1 circuit. My share (1 of 8) of a table with bottle service.
My share (1 of 8). 5 nights.
Mostly covered by Amex points. Yours will vary depending on where you’re flying from.
Trains between Nice, Roquebrune, and Monaco, plus my share (1 of 8) of a private driver for late nights.
Our chef covered most meals at the villa. This was for my personal groceries and drinks on a few nights out.
Optional splurge: Amber Lounge, the official F1 afterparty, is ~$585. I skipped it since La Rascasse was more my vibe, but if you want to party next to F1 drivers until 4am, it’s worth checking out.
Want to buy race tickets yourself? Go straight to the official sources: ACM (monaco-grandprix.com), Monaco’s official race organizer, or the official F1 ticket store.
Skip staying in Monaco. Rent an Airbnb in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin — about 10 minutes by train and usually much cheaper. Cap-d’Ail and Beausoleil are great options too.
Fly into Nice on Wednesday, not Thursday or Friday. Flights, trains, and places to stay all roughly double in price once Friday hits. Leave Monday morning rather than Sunday night for the same reason.
You can book almost everything here yourself. If you’d rather skip the planning, @akaman_groupe curated my entire F1 weekend, from the superyacht down to the private driver.
