## 💫 How It All Started

When Milo Tours came to Native Spaces, they had a clear vision: an exclusive cocktail dinner for a group of insurance industry guests in Nice, combining premium gastronomy, open-air atmosphere, and a venue with genuine wow factor.

## 📋 The Brief

Here's what they needed:

- Exclusive privatisation of an outdoor rooftop
- Minimum 150 guests
- Full cocktail dinner with culinary stations (oyster bar, pasta station, salad bar for vegetarian guests) and canapés
- Open bar including premium spirits and long drinks
- Sound system and microphone for a speech
- A luxurious venue

## 🏙️ The Chosen Venue

They chose one of the most breathtaking outdoor event spaces on the French Riviera: a luxury rooftop terrace in Nice.

Situated on a restored Belle Époque landmark right in the heart of Nice, facing Jardin Albert 1er and steps from the Promenade des Anglais. The rooftop terrace offers 360-degree panoramic views over the city and the Baie des Anges. It's the kind of setting that makes a corporate dinner feel truly extraordinary.

For Milo Tours' event, the terrace was privatised exclusively. The culinary programme was built around the group's exact requests: oyster bar, pasta in a cheese wheel, a 10-piece canapé selection, and a full salad bar. The open bar covered wines, beers, spirits, and a full long drink menu. A microphone and speakers were arranged for the speech.

Every detail was handled directly with the venue's events team, with Sonja from Native Spaces facilitating introductions and following up on logistics.

## 🎉 How It Went

They came with a specific vision for a high-end group evening, and the venue delivered exactly that. From the initial venue proposal to contract signature and payment, the team was responsive, flexible, and thorough.

Milo Tours hosted 150 guests on an exclusive rooftop terrace in Nice for a cocktail dinner with culinary stations, open bar, and panoramic views. Here's how it happened.

A Dinner on a Rooftop in Nice

## 💫 How It All Started 💫

During EthCC week in Cannes, side events are everywhere. Every company wants to host something: a cocktail, a networking evening, a way to bring their community together outside the conference halls. To stand out and actually get people through the door, the venue matters.

That's why Gensyn contacted us to find a rooftop in Cannes for their cocktail.

## 📋 The Brief 📋

For EthCC Cannes 2025:

- Evening networking cocktail
- 100 guests
- Catering on-site

## 🏙️ The Chosen Venue

The Native Spaces team put together a shortlist of options. Gensyn chose a rooftop in Cannes: an outdoor space for up to 300 guests in cocktail configuration, a 10-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals, with views over the Cannes rooftops and the seafront.

The package negotiated with the venue covered full terrace privatisation, furniture, service, 18 canapés per person, and an open bar with champagne, wine, and beer.

## 🎉 How It Went 🎉

The event was a success: strong attendance, a great evening, and a team happy with the result. Convinced by the experience, they came back to us as early as October 2025 to book the same venue for the following year. We're glad to be accompanying them again for their second cocktail on this rooftop.

Gensyn hosted their EthCC side event cocktail on a Cannes rooftop, 10 minutes from the Palais des Festivals. 100 guests, open bar, on-site catering — and a second event booked the following year.

## 💫 How It All Began 💫

Datacloud is one of Europe's largest congresses for cloud infrastructure and data centres. Every year it brings hundreds of companies to Cannes for a week of meetings, networking and client events.

In 2024, AVK reached out to us with a clear goal: a basecamp in Cannes for the entire Datacloud week. Not just to accommodate the team, but to host clients in a private setting — lunches, dinners, evening cocktails — without the constraints of a hotel. They've come back every year since.

## 📋 The Format 📋

- Full residential rental across the Datacloud week
- 7 bedrooms for the AVK team on site
- Private lunches and dinners for client groups of up to 20
- Cocktail receptions in the evening

## 🏡 The Venue 🏡

**👉 [Discover our Cannes villas for events](https://native-spaces.com/search/cannes/villas)**

A 300m² villa a few minutes from the Croisette, set in 1,000m² of grounds. Seven en-suite bedrooms, a 12-metre heated pool, pétanque court, terrace with pergola, barbecue and two private parking spaces.

The fully equipped kitchen, generous living areas and landscaped outdoor space allow different formats to run back to back without changing location — team breakfast in the morning, client lunch at midday, cocktails by the pool in the evening. That versatility is what convinced AVK in year one. And what brings them back.

## 🎉 Three Years of Trust 🎉

Before Datacloud 2024 was even over, AVK had already reached out to rebook the same villa for 2025. And before 2025 was out, for 2026. Each year the programme has grown — a separate dinner venue added in 2025, an additional space in 2026 — but the villa has remained the anchor.

Our team has supported AVK throughout: coordinating with the host, organising catering, managing additional venues and following up across every edition.

Since 2024, AVK returns every year to Datacloud with the same Cannes villa as their base — residential stay, client lunches, cocktails. Three years, same venue, same trust.

## **💫 How It All Began 💫**

A live podcast recording. 150 invitation-only guests. Cocktails on the Croisette. When Karpatkey, a leading DAO treasury management company, came to us with their EthCC side event brief, the concept was already clear. A high-level experience built around conversation.

The challenge was finding a venue that could hold a live recording setup and a relaxed cocktail atmosphere at the same time.

## **📋 The Brief 📋**

- Between 150 and 200 guests
- Live podcast recording with audience and 3 to 4 speakers
- Cocktail and networking format around the recording
- Cannes, on the Croisette, during EthCC

## **🎙️ The Chosen Venue 🎙️**

**👉 [Discover our Cannes venues for EthCC side events](https://native-spaces.com/search/cannes/ethcc)**

The only venue on the Croisette entirely dedicated to events. 700 metres from the Palais des Festivals, two buildings for 570m² of fully modular spaces, sea views and a large outdoor terrace.

The main room faces the sea directly and offers natural light, panoramic views, professional sound and video system built in. The terrace, covered up to 90m², handles the cocktail and guest flow outside. On the upper floors, six private lounges with views over the Croisette, ideal for smaller conversations. Over 40m² of display space on the façade, visible from the boulevard itself.

For a live podcast format that needed both staging precision and a relaxed cocktail atmosphere, the venue delivered both.
