Top 10 of the most beautiful hotels in Corsica

Corsica is one of France's most popular tourist destinations. Every year, the island's beaches are packed with holidaymakers eager to relax by the sea. Ajaccio, Bastia or Porto-Vecchio, every corner of the island is worth a visit... From the wild charm of the mountains to its exceptional coastline, the variety of landscapes will amaze visitors.

Corsica has succeeded in preserving its natural spaces with its marine park, nature reserves and the Corsican Regional Nature Park. And while the island boasts a first-rate natural heritage, it would be a shame to limit ourselves to it. Corsican culture is waiting to be discovered: architecture, language, gastronomy, hospitality...

And in the magnificent natural setting that is the Isle of Beauty, you'll find a host of fine addresses: intimate, family-friendly, luxurious, secluded in nature... There's something for every taste, but always with plenty of charm. Discover our favourite hotels in Corsica!

1. Hôtel U Capu Biancu, in Bonifacio

Hotel beach

The Capu Biancu has to be earned: a good ten minutes on a (very) bad road with almost no signposting. But once you get there, you're in for a treat! Built on a small ledge, between the maquis and the sea, this hotel is the only one of its kind in the world, and is the perfect place to relax.

Hotel swimming pool

And what about the swimming pool, surrounded by greenery and overlooking the sea? The hotel also has several restaurants, a lounge bar and three private beaches. The rooms at this 4-star establishment have superb views of the sea or the maquis.

A charming hotel in a dream setting. The Marina di Cavu is a tiny luxury hotel lost in the maquis, just 10 minutes from the centre of Bonifacio. You don't come here by chance. It offers royal peace and quiet to those for whom a holiday can only be envisaged in a luxury establishment.

Breakfast served in the hotel garden

Marina di Cavu is a small, cosy hotel with just nine rooms. The establishment is nestled against blocks of granite. In some rooms, the raw rock has been left as is. It couldn't be more intimate: from the restaurant to the swimming pool, heated in autumn, you'll feel right at home.

8. Hôtel Marinca, Olmeto

The hotel boasts four dream pools

The Marinca estate rises in the hills near Propriano and stretches down to the first grains of sand in a pretty, solitary cove. A gentle slope tumbling down into a warm, clear sea. Tucked away in nature, this unpretentious, secluded hotel enjoys peaceful days.

The bathroom reflects the hotel's 5* status.

The hotel is of modern construction, and the site and its breathtaking views over the Gulf of Valinco are beyond reproach. The 56 rooms are spread over two levels, are fairly large and all have sea views.

10. Hôtel Castel d'Orcino, in Ajaccio

The hotel's terrace overlooking its private beach

Rest and contemplation. Castel d'Orcino is a Zen hotel, renowned for its tranquillity, and more suited to couples. Its remoteness from Ajaccio means that it is unspoilt by tourism. The establishment is well run by welcoming owners.

Bright room with balcony overlooking the sea

This hotel, with its modern architecture, blends into the natural setting of the Gulf of Sagone. The hotel's 30 rooms are well-decorated, elegant and unfussy. We love the beautiful swimming pool and whirlpool surrounded by a large wooden deck overlooking the deep blue sea.
