Fancy a getaway to South Corsica? These three hotels are sure to delight you.
Son de Mar, in San CiprianuDesign, tranquility, and the sea nearby
In San Ciprianu, the Son de Mar doesn't look like a typical hotel. It's a project led by a family attached to the area, who wanted to create a human-scale establishment, open to its surroundings. It blends into the landscape, as if it had grown there naturally.The architecture is immediately striking: rounded arches and simple volumes inspired by Corsican seaside houses. The materials – mineral concrete, natural wood, raw stone – give the whole a quiet elegance.Thirty rooms, some with loggias, each designed with meticulous attention to detail. The interior maintains continuity with the exterior: sand tones, built-in furniture, matte textiles. Comfort is so evident that it's easily forgotten.For wellness, the spa offers a hammam, a heated pool, and Codage Paris treatments. Dining options include local bistro cuisine with a seafood focus in the evening, with a deliberately limited seating capacity. And recently, La Cave, a private wine bar, offers a selection of Corsican vintages and well-crafted cocktails. Ideal for ending the day without rushing.
