The 10 Best Luxurious Hotels in Corsica

A Sustainability Ranking in partnership with ETIC Hotels

Corsica, known as the “Isle of Beauty” (Ile de Beauté in French), is a small but gorgeous island in the Mediterranean Sea, in between France and Italy, and north of Sardegna. If a few spots in Corsica are widely known – such as Bonifacio, Porto-Vecchio or Calvi, Corsica is also the land of many different beautiful landscapes, places and hotels.

You’re planning a trip to Corsica this Summer and you’re trying to be as ethical and sustainable as possible? niood lists you the 10 best luxurious hotels in Corsica:

1. Hôtel U Capu Biancu
Bonifacio, Corsica

From $500 per night
ETIC Hotels Green Score: 9.2/10

U Capu Biancu opens its doors and the soul of an island is revealed: an island they call Corsica. Or Corse. Or even Kallistê, the very beautiful. An island rising up like a bright frontier facing the world. An ardent land, raw and wild, where life is dreamt and where life is breathed in deeply. A country whose impetuous character is reflected, just as fiery, in the men and women who inhabit it. A nature that forged temperaments, modeling them after the proud and arrogant mountains, after the chaotic thrusts of the coastline, after the sea by turns serene and tormented. An island whose beauty has always enticed covetousness, all the more for her place at the heart of the Mediterranean. Today still Corsica resists: a piece of paradise, a heritage to protect.
