Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel unveils its reimagined Kids’ Club, featuring 43,000 square feet of open-air play areas immersed in Mediterranean nature

Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel unveils its newly designed Kids’ Club, thoughtfully created to inspire young guests to embrace an eco-conscious mindset through play. Set beneath towering pine trees steps away from the Hotel’s iconic Club Dauphin, the Kids’ Club offers a safe and stimulating environment that fosters a deep connection with nature.

The Sea Explorers Kids’ Club is inspired by the legend of shipwrecked pirates who found themselves stranded on the rocky shores of the peninsula following a devastating storm. With ingenuity and perseverance, they repurposed their boats into shelters, laying the foundation for what would later become Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The Kids’ Club embodies the pirates’ adventurous spirit, resilience and deep bond with nature, offering facilities and activities that nurture creativity and inspire imaginative role-play.

The Kids’ Club was created in collaboration with experts in sustainable design, using natural materials and eco-friendly furnishings to create a harmonious connection between children and nature. Young guests can take part in sea-faring adventures as they navigate a treetop course designed to echo the pirates’ daring journey across open waters and rugged terrain. Wooden structures such as pirate ships spark imaginative play and storytelling while fostering a deep appreciation for nature.

 “We wanted to create an immersive experience that celebrates the natural beauty of the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula,” explains François-Regis Simon, the Hotel’s General Manager. “Our reimagined Kids’ Club features an expansive outdoor playground where nature is woven into both design and storytelling, with a strong focus on sustainability and the natural environment.”

In addition to an outdoor adventure playground, the Kids’ Club has a ball games area where children can take part in tournaments and develop teamwork, coordination and confidence in a fun and supportive setting. Children are supervised at all times by highly trained, experienced staff, with excellent childcare ratios ensuring a safe and enriching environment where children feel happy and at ease.

Beyond engaging outdoor activities and educational experiences, the Kids’ Club features immersive indoor spaces designed to ignite creativity. A newly renovated playroom, adorned with a hand-painted mural showcasing the vibrant marine life of the Mediterranean, provides a safe and engaging environment for children aged 4 to 6. Here, young explorers can take part in sensory play and educational activities inspired by nature, such as arts and crafts activities that celebrate marine life and highlight the importance of ocean conservation.

For children aged 6 to 12, the Kids’ Club offers a wide range of activities designed to cultivate an eco-conscious mindset while deepening their understanding of marine and coastal ecosystems. Through hands-on marine science workshops, creative challenges and adventure games, young guests learn about ocean ecosystems, from native plant species to some of the world’s most incredible underwater creatures. The Cinema Zone, meanwhile, hosts storytelling sessions, creative workshops and screenings of ocean-themed films.

The Sea Explorers Kids’ Club will be unveiled early June 2025.
