From Bodrum to Mykonos, Saint-Tropez, Portofino, the Bahamas, and beyond, the summer season is heralding a host of new designer boutiques, pop-ups, and takeovers, adding a splash of style to already beautiful locations. You need never be without the latest designer accessories, resort wear, or jewelry needed to finesse your holiday wardrobe.
Cartier at Mandarin Oriental Bodrum, Turkey
Located at the Mandarin Oriental Bodrum, alongside Hermes, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel, Cartier’s newest store sits discreetly on the edge of the resort’s multi-level infinity pool, surrounded by manicured gardens overlooking the Aegean. Within its white-washed walls, a selection of the French maison’s jewelry collections, watches, resort wear, and fragrances are set against a backdrop of woven raffia-patterned wallpaper that pays tribute to local artisanal crafts and silky textiles inspired by the archipelago’s flora and marine life. The space is also home to a terrace and private lounge, where guests can relax while they discover pieces from signature collections such as Love, Juste un Clou, and Clash de Cartier. At the center of the boutique is a commanding mural of the brand’s signature panther, painted by longtime Cartier collaborator, French artist Francois Mascarello.
Missoni at Verdura Resort, Sicily, Italy
Given its Italian roots, it makes sense that Missoni would choose to launch a pop-up on the shores of southern Sicily this summer. The original purveyor of boho-luxe resort wear, Missoni’s signature zigzags can now be found in a dedicated boutique at Rocco Forte’s Verdura Resort, where the collection’s colorways take their cue from the blues and greens of the surrounding Mediterranean seascape. Accompanying the display of ready-to-wear clothing, Missoni’s psychedelic prints also drench the resort’s beach club, transporting the label’s uplifting summer collection onto custom cabanas, loungers, and even the pool bar.
Acqua di Parma, Place des Lices, Saint-Tropez, France
The sunshine glamour of Saint-Tropez has enticed a clutch of luxury brands, joined this summer by Acqua di Parma, which has set up shop in the picturesque Place des Lices. Designed in collaboration with French designer Dorothée Meilichzon, the pretty pied-à-terre is decked in the sun-drenched hues that are a signature of the Italian perfumer and sells key fragrances alongside a new resort collection that includes Art de la Table tableware, a tote bag, tray, and Buongiorno picnic basket, as well as a limited-edition car diffuser and pétanque set.
Chanel Boutique, Nammos Village, Mykonos, Greece
Housed in a whitewashed villa in Nammos Village, Chanel’s 142-square-metre boutique, set across two storeys, returns for summer 2024. In the heart of the island’s luxury shopping district, the boutique offers the new Chanel Coco Beach 2024 collection: towelling beach bags in candy-hued colourways, sports-inspired separates, a splash of summery denim, and pretty pastel swimwear complemented by chic shades, pool slides, and beach bags stamped with interlocking Cs.
Four Seasons and Jacquemus, The Ocean Club Bahamas, Caribbean
Simon Porte Jacquemus continues to dominate summer style with his eponymous brand, this year partnering with The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Bahamas. Situated in Carlo, the hotel’s permanent on-site boutique, Les Sculptures by Jacquemus pop-up presents looks from the spring/summer 2024 collection, epitomizing relaxed resort chic. Complementing the ephemeral boutique, the Bahamian bolthole’s iconic Versailles and Ocean pools have been given a Jacquemus makeover, saturating towels, parasols, and throw cushions in a signature navy stripe.
Dioriviera at D Maris Bay, Turkey
At the intersection of the glittering Aegean and Mediterranean seas on the Datça Peninsula is the secluded Turkish resort of D Maris Bay, one of this season’s chosen addresses for a coveted Dioriviera boutique. Housing a selection of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s playful summer apparel and accessories, displayed among custom bamboo furniture and sculptures of wild animals, the pop-up continues to the pool, where the world is seen through the rose-tinted lens of Dior, with coral-hued Toile de Jouy Soleil print splashed across sun loungers, deck chairs, cushions, and parasols to picture-perfect effect.
Dolce & Gabbana, Le Carillon, Portofino, Italy
Located on the picturesque Bay of Paraggi within the Portofino National Park, the quaint Le Carillon beach club has been a haunt of Portofino high society since 1936. This summer, Dolce & Gabbana has taken up residence, introducing its new Verde Maiolica print across everything from the sun beds and parasols to the celebrated Vesta restaurant, injecting the brand’s playful approach to La Dolce Vita into the pretty seaside venue.
Pucci at Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo, France
The ultra-luxury spa Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo has been doused in the pop-color prints of Pucci. The spa’s boutique has become an homage to the Italian label, showcasing a selection of pieces from the Very Vivara collection designed by Pucci’s artistic director Camille Miceli. The iconic Vivara comes to life on kaftans, cover-ups, dresses, and swimwear, complemented by retro print decorations throughout the spa.
Balmain at One&Only Aesthesis, Athens, Greece
Launched during a star-studded party, the pool club at One&Only Aesthesis on the Athenian Riviera has been given a glamorous Balmain makeover for summer. The brand’s signature Labyrinth pattern of interlocking B and P motifs is emblazoned across towels, sun loungers, and stylish poolside cabanas. Opened last year, One&Only Aesthesis has set a new standard in luxurious accommodations in Greece.
Loro Piana at La Réserve à la Plage, Saint-Tropez, France
Returning for its second year, Loro Piana’s pop-up at La Réserve à la Plage on glamorous Pampelonne Beach invites followers of the Italian fashion brand to shop its timeless resort 2024 collection—printed kimono jackets, silk harem trousers, and linen separates—while relaxing on Loro Piana-designed sun loungers.
