The best spa hotels in Corsica
Sunny, epicurean, authentic… the Ile de Beauté touches the heart of even the most seasoned traveler. Perhaps because it has this propensity to inspire wonder, a fascination that is constantly renewed with each stay in these wild lands. To help you plan your next stay, or just dream about it, here’s our selection of the best spa hotels in Corsica.
1. Hotel Marinca & Spa | 5-star spa hotel in Corsica with its feet in the water
Where: Propriano, Corse-Du-Sud.
How is the spa hotel in Corsica? If there's one jewel box on the Isle of Beauty that ticks ALL the boxes for a heavenly place to satisfy every whim, it's the Marinca. Maximum desirability for this estate with its feet in the sand and its gaze plunging into the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Valinco. Surrounded by wild, maquis-scented coves, bordered by a limpid sea, the Marinca Hotel & Spa occupies a stone building in the private estate of Vitricella. Pure, contemporary luxury: herringbone wood, Carrara marble, shades of white and ecru to highlight the real star: light.
The keys are spread over the two floors and the garden level, with different options: Jacuzzi suites, penthouse with pool... right up to the private villa with three bedrooms and butler for tribes in search of hand-crafted services and privacy. From the Michelin-starred La Verrière restaurant helmed by chef Romain Masset to the beach restaurant La Paillote, everything is in order for a Mediterranean feast.
The wellness offer? The Spa by Clarins is a destination in itself, with divine facilities that have nothing to envy the finest palaces on the continent: eucalyptus-scented hammam, sauna with Himalayan salt wall, ice room, sensory shower, heated indoor pool, dedicated wellness trail... all in a refined setting conducive to disconnection. Take the mental load off .
There are little nuggets like the treatment room with its "Ilot" bathtub, sensory showers and the duo suite with balneotherapy, where champagne and strawberries are delivered for a moment of relaxation for two. Even children are entitled to strawberry or chocolate bubble baths, complete with decal tattoos, princess dress or privateer costume.
The added bonus? A skipper on hand to take you snorkeling among the fish or shopping in Ajaccio.
