When fashion meets the beach, the result is a summer of sun-drenched glamour, where the world’s most iconic designer names take over coastal hotspots with their own curated spaces. From Portofino to Ibiza, this year’s most stylish designer beach clubs are as much about runway-worthy aesthetics as they are about Riviera indulgence. These exclusive enclaves blend couture concepts with coastal leisure, offering a seamless transition from the boutique to the beach.

Whether it’s a pastel-toned sunbed stamped with a monogram or a seafood lunch served under parasols in house patterns, the new wave of designer beach clubs redefine the meaning of seaside luxury. Here’s our curated edit of the most fashionable designer destinations to soak up the sun this summer.
