Luxury hotels, hotel suites and fine dining restaurants in Corsica

Travel to Corsica  

 Head for the island of Beauty! Proud of its culture and traditions, Corsica never ceases to assert its own identity, deeply rooted in the character, dialect, cuisine and customs of its people. During your stay in our luxury hotels in Corsica, you will go from dense and perfumed maquis to enchanting beaches, from green valleys to charming coastal towns, within just a few kilometres. This mosaic of landscapes, where we also find lakes and gorges carved into the granite walls of the mountains, constitutes the main attraction of the island, whose natural heritage is protected by several reserves and a marine park. This variety of horizons translates into a wide range of experiences, from hiking in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Calanques of Piana, to sunbathing on the beaches of Porto-Vecchio. We invite you to live your Corsican holiday to the fullest and discover the Bonifacio region, sail to the Lavezzi Islands, explore the hillside villages of the Balagne or hike around the Col de Bavella. 

Luxury hotels in Corsica, an ode to the region’s nature 

 Staying in our luxury hotels in Corsica means sharing a certain art of living that our local teams are proud to perpetuate. Here, more than anywhere else, generous and good taste takes precedence over glitz and glamour to preserve the soul of our establishments, where you immediately feel at home. Lulled by the song of the cicadas or soothed by the scent of pine trees, our 5-star hotels in Corsica promise you a sensory experience. The exteriors of most Relais & Châteaux boutique hotels in Corsica respect the typical style of the island, with wooden beams and stone walls, complemented by modern swimming pools. Inside, it is not uncommon to find vaulted ceilings, antiques and collectibles, vases blooming with local flowers that give the impression of entering a family home. In the bedrooms, modernity and authenticity blend perfectly. Stone walk-in showers or spacious bathtubs in elegant bathrooms, private terraces with sunbeds and views of the sparkling sea, or wooden bedside tables on which you'll find an old book to bury your nose in, immersed in your white linen sheets. Our luxury hotels in Corsica generally have spas, some designed in the spirit of the island's ancient sheepfolds. Here you can recharge your batteries and enjoy revitalising treatments, using products made from the Corsican maquis. You will be warmly welcomed by our attentive team, who will remember your name and your favourite table at the restaurant. 

Fine dining restaurants in Corsica 

In the restaurants of our best luxury hotels in Corsica, some of which are Michelin-starred, our talented chefs advocate a relaxed epicureanism. While fish and shellfish are among the most common foods, Corsica is also a leader in the production of sausages. Raw hams (prisuttu), liver sausages (figatellu), coppa, salami and lonzu are dishes whose particular taste is due to the fact that the pigs are raised in the wild and feed on acorns and chestnuts. Goat's cheese, such as brocciu, is also excellent. But what makes this island cuisine unique are the herbs of the maquis that tickle your nose. Most of Relais & Châteaux gourmet restaurants in Corsica have organic vegetable gardens where oregano, marjoram and mint grow alongside lavender and mertensia maritima, a plant that has an oyster-like taste. Sit on one of our terraces by the water or under the pine trees and enjoy roasted prawns, braised beef or trout confit with a glass of Corsican wine selected by our sommeliers. For dessert, why not try a homemade sorbet with flavours of myrtle and local honey ? 

The best hotels in Corsica 

 For nature lovers, a trip to Corsica is synonymous with escape. After enjoying a healthy breakfast in one of our charming hotels, follow-up with a yoga session overlooking the bay of Calvi. Once you've had your energy boost, venture out into the maquis of the Agriates desert with one of our passionate guides. For the more experienced hiker, the GR20 trail, one of Europe's most famous hikes, crosses the island from north to south, passing rocky ridges and picturesque villages. The southern coasts, named Palombaggia, Santa Giulia or Rondinara, are home to some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, easily accessible from most of our luxury hotels. Our teams on-sight will guide you to find the itinerary that will best suit your needs. You will be able to bask in the warm sand and turquoise water. You can also embark on one of our boats to discover the Scandola nature reserve and the Gulf of Girolata, where the seabed offers a fascinating spectacle, before ending the day with a cocktail at one of our best hotels in Corsica.
