At Spa Nucca, the essence of Corsica is revealed within this 5,400-square-foot/500-square-meter showcase. Natural wood, sculpted stone, pure water: every element conveys the earth, the arid ecosystem and the salt of the landscape. Embark on a unique sensory journey in one of seven treatment rooms next to tree-lined patios. The spa’s homegrown NUCCA treatments, using wild botanicals and plants from the Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa's vegetable garden, reconnect you to this Isle of Beauty for a holistic wellness experience.

Spa Nucca du Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa

The Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa exudes the isolated tranquility of Corsica’s wild coast. While its title of grand hotel is entirely fitting, it also has the feel of a family home. For Jérôme, the maître de maison, taking time to stop, share, and invest in the lives of both his guests and employees is central to this ambience. 

Every year, the hotel stages special events where employees and guests can mix on an equal footing. Events include hikes in Corsica’s beautiful and wild countryside, mountain-top picnics, and barbeques on the bay’s perfect beaches.

Hidden in a peaceful cove in the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio, the Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa has lived its life as a beautiful family home for four decades. In the heart of a private park that extends along a white sandy beach, international guests of all ages can find what they seek in this place where memories mingle with modernity. Chefs Pascal Cayeux and Gauthier Devillers skilfully combine the island’s best products with fruit harvested in the morning from their organic garden to create a gastronomic journey. At the spa, Hélène and Lise Canarelli invite you to discover Nucca, their natural cosmetics line made from Corsican scrubland plants.
