Holidays in Corsica
Corsica holidays are undoubtedly one of the Mediterranean’s best-kept secrets, where powder-soft beaches are lapped by peacock-blue seas, and brooding granite peaks tower defensively in the background. A natural playground with an air of exclusivity, this chic French island has an army of celebrity devotees, drawn perhaps by its unique combination of elemental beauty and impressive harbours crammed with million-dollar yachts.
Yet for all the glamour, Corsica is a family holiday destination par excellence, where fine white sand cedes to shallow aquamarine sea and kids of all ages can enjoy the best gelato and pizza outside of Naples. The string of beautiful beaches stretches from Calvi in the north to the Valinco gulf in the south, interspersed by high mountains, lush vineyards and timeless villages. A villa holiday lets you make the most of these riches, whether you want to relax by your private pool, walk in the hills, discover Corsican wines or enjoy the many water sports on offer all over the island.
Luxury lies in the exclusivity of Corsica; our luxury villas and boutique hotels are hand-picked in the most sought after corners of the island including Porto Vecchio, Bonifacio, Ile Rousse, Calvi and the Valinco Gulf.

Regions in Corsica
Corsica holidays promise a wealth of different experiences. Imbued with the French sophistication and more than a hint of Italian glamour, luxury holidays in Corsica draw on the richness of its history, culture and unspoilt landscape. From pristine white sandy beaches to dramatic mountain scenery, cosmopolitan harbour towns to ancient hilltop villages, you’ll find tradition rubbing shoulders with a 21st-century appreciation for the finer things in life. Active holidays can take you mountain biking, canyoning or diving amongst some of the best sites in Europe, or slow the pace with a round of golf or perhaps a luxury yacht charter around some of the most spectacular coastline anywhere in the Med.
Calvi & The Balagne
Long sandy beaches framed by high mountains, a historic citadel towering over a lively port: Calvi and the beautiful wider Balagne region offer an unbeatable base for a villa holiday in Corsica. Discover magnificent beaches backed by umbrella pines, scenic mountain roads that lead to impossibly picturesque villages and vineyards producing the perfect accompaniment to your fresh seafood, rich pasta or wood-fired pizza.
Porto Vecchio & Bonifacio
Near the Caribbean-style beaches of the south, the buzzing harbour towns of Porto Vecchio and Bonifacio are infused with Italian charm, yet have a uniquely Corsican feel. Their ancient, narrow streets are packed with cafés, boutiques and restaurants, the perfect contrast to the high granite peaks and natural rock swimming pools inland.
The Valinco
Loved for its fine sandy beaches and excellent watersports, the Valinco gulf is home to one of Corsica’s oldest resorts, chic Propriano, which still retains much of its former fishing village authenticity alongside a good selection of seafood restaurants and pizzerias. This is the quieter side of Corsica, where winding roads snake down to hidden beaches and mountain villages still keep a watchful eye over the glorious coastline.
