Day 1 - Arrival in Porto-Vecchio and first glimpse of Palombaggia
Arrival at Figari airport, then private transfer to the hotel (approx. 30 minutes). The journey takes you through scrubland, hills and the first views of the sea.
As soon as you are welcomed, the tone is set: homemade lemonade, local products and personalized attention. Settle into your room, discover the private terrace, then take your first stroll on Palombaggia beach, less than 50 meters away.
A quiet evening, ideal for recovering from the trip.
Enjoy the beach in the late afternoon, when the light becomes softer and the day visitors leave.
Day 2 - Breakfast, beach and pool
The day begins with breakfast on the terrace: fresh produce, homemade jams, cold meats and freshly squeezed juices. The pace is set, without constraint.
Morning dedicated to beach of Palombaggia, alternating between swimming and relaxing in the shade of the umbrella pines.
The afternoon continues at the hotel pool, with a house cocktail in hand.
Avoid 12pm-3pm in midsummer: the light is harsher and the heat more pronounced. Early mornings or after 5pm are gentler.
Day 3 - Nature, relaxation and brazier dinner
Wake up at sunrise, then go for a light jog in the nearby forest. A simple way to start the day.
Afternoon at leisure: read, relax or nap by the pool.
In the evening, dinner at the hotel's brazier restaurant: Corsican veal, charcuterie, local cheeses and wine from the Saparale estate.
If you can, book a sunset dinner: the atmosphere and light make all the difference.
Day 4 - Scuba diving in Santa Giulia Bay
Excursion with Kallisté Plongée, a recognized local partner.
Explore the Santa Giulia seabed: posidonia, multicolored fish and crystal-clear waters.
Return to the hotel for a relaxing massage in your room, followed by a Corsican wine tasting on the terrace.
If you're just starting out, it's best to go out in the morning: calmer seas, better visibility and softer light on the water.
Day 5 - Electric mountain biking and the Porto-Vecchio market
Morning electric mountain bike ride through the vineyards and villages around Porto-Vecchio. The itineraries are accessible and offer beautiful views.
In the afternoon, stroll through the local market: honeys, olive oils, cheeses and handicrafts.
End of the day at the pool.
Day 6 - Bonifacio and Lavezzi Islands
Early departure for Bonifacio. Visit the citadel and stroll through the narrow streets suspended above the sea.
Afternoon boat trip to the Lavezzi islands: wild beaches, snorkeling and turquoise waters.
At Les Lavezzi, exposure is high: bring water, sun protection and water shoes.
Day 7 - Ospedale, Bavella and Guitera baths
Discover the Ospedale forest and lake, then head for the Aiguilles de Bavella.
A stop at the Guitera baths brings the day to a gentle close.
Leave early: less heat, smoother roads and superb light on the hills.
Day 8 - Departure and final touches
Last breakfast in front of the umbrella pine forest.
Before departure, the hotel team hands out a basket of Corsican products. Transfer to Figari, already looking forward to coming back.
At the end of the day, when the beach is calmer, the terrace becomes a privileged vantage point. With a glass in hand, the light does the rest.
