experiences await
Hiking & Nature
Corsica is a paradise for nature lovers. The island is home to the famous GR20 trail, one of Europe’s toughest and most scenic long-distance hikes, crossing dramatic mountain landscapes. For less demanding excursions, shorter coastal trails lead to panoramic viewpoints over turquoise bays and rugged cliffs. Exploring inland reveals pine forests, waterfalls, and traditional villages that offer a glimpse into Corsica’s authentic way of life.
Beaches & Seaside Leisure
Corsica is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. Palombaggia and Santa Giulia, located near Porto-Vecchio, boast fine white sands and shallow, turquoise waters perfect for swimming and paddleboarding. Further south, Rondinara Beach forms a near-perfect crescent of sand, offering a tranquil and picturesque anchorage for yachts. Whether you’re looking for lively beach clubs or quiet stretches of sand, Corsica offers the best of both worlds.
Cultural Exploration
Corsica’s towns and villages are rich in history and character. Ajaccio, the island’s capital, is the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte and features museums and lively waterfront promenades. Bonifacio, perched dramatically atop limestone cliffs, is one of the most scenic towns in the Mediterranean, with a medieval citadel, charming streets, and a natural harbor that serves as a yacht haven. These towns combine cultural heritage with vibrant local life, making them must-visit stops on a yacht charter.

Îles Sanguinaires
Located near Ajaccio, the Îles Sanguinaires are a group of rugged islands renowned for their fiery red sunsets, which give them their name. The islands are part of a protected reserve and are home to diverse seabird species and rich Mediterranean flora. Accessible only by boat, they provide a peaceful escape where guests can enjoy snorkeling, swimming, or simply admiring the wild coastal scenery.
