Holidays in Corsica
One of the Mediterranean’s best-kept secrets, Corsica is an exclusive holiday destination fringed by powder-soft beaches and crowned by granite peaks. From Napoleon Bonaparte to the Beckhams, this chic French island has an army of celebrity devotees, drawn perhaps by its unique combination of wild natural 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
The largest of our island destinations offers a hundred different summer holidays in one, less than three hours from the UK. 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 villas, vineyards to boutiques, you’ll find tradition rubbing shoulders with a 21st-century appreciation for the finer things in life.
Calvi & The Balagne
Set in an idyllic countryside of olive and fruit groves, vineyards and tiny hilltop villages, holidays in the Balagne, the Garden of Corsica, have a very special flavour. Calvi is a highlight: a walled citadel on an outcrop of granite that marries historic cobbled streets, a gently shelving sandy beach and vibrant contemporary culture.
Porto Vecchio & Bonifacio
Near the Caribbean-style beaches of the south, the elegant towns of Porto Vecchio and Bonifacio are infused with Italian charm, yet have a uniquely Corsican feel. Their ancient cobbled streets are dotted with cafés, boutiques and restaurants – a contrast to the romantic villages, mountains and lush countryside further inland.
The Valinco
Loved for its pristine beaches and watersports, The Gulf of Valinco is home to one of Corsica’s oldest resorts, chic Propriano, which still retains much of its former fishing village authenticity. Filitosa, one of Europe’s most important prehistoric sites and home to the famous menhirs, lies in the countryside nearby.
