This page is a verified list of national and expat associations, resident and business clubs, service clubs, and women’s or social clubs in Monaco, with a short note on the main sport, yacht and private members’ clubs. It is intended for new residents, expatriates and anyone looking for a community in the Principality.
How to choose
If you are new to Monaco and do not yet have a national association to join, start with the CREM, the Club des Résidents Étrangers de Monaco. It is the main cross-national club for residents and for companies registered in Monaco, and it hosts the Welcome Office’s information meetings for new residents. Where no national club exists, the Association of Honorary Consuls of Monaco can also help you find your community. The Welcome Office at Invest Monaco (2a boulevard des Moulins) keeps a fuller list of smaller, volunteer-run associations, including many that have no website. Company networking goes through the Chamber of Commerce (formerly the Monaco Economic Board); there is no American Chamber of Commerce in Monaco and no British Business Group.
