Something’s been happening in Corsica for a few years now — the mountainous island with its French-Italian hybrid culture, once a haven for pensioners and people who truly appreciate its rugged beauty, is turning hip. And while it will be a few years before Corsica replaces the Côte d’Azur in the public imagination, it’s one small step closer, with the opening of the completely redesigned Hotel Casadelmar.On the south coast of Corsica lies the Hotel Casa del Mar - a notable architectural achievement that breaks the mold with crisp lines and simple shapes. Sleek, striking, and filled with natural light. Jean-François Bodin’s new design, an ultra-modern structure in red cedar and glass, will be sure to bring out the architecture fanatics, as well as the more fashion-conscious patrons; it’s just about the polar opposite of “rustic,” and certainly like nothing else on the island. The setting, though, is as close to nature as any, the 25-meter infinity pool, surrounded by Italian landscaped gardens, overlooks the Porto-Vecchio gulf and the mountains beyond, and every room shares the panoramic view.

Clear-lined architectural forms highlight this stunning hotel, successfully integrated into the local setting. A shimmering rectangle of glass, red cedar and stone with exceptional views of the Mediterranean, welcome guests to a world of fine luxury and elegant leisure. An atmosphere of calm and ease surrounds guests relaxing at the luminous, split-level white lobby. A perfect anticipation to the 20 rooms and suites decorated in the latest contemporary style with fuchsia, orange or violet curtains, contrasting lively fabrics and superb indoor details including chairs by Rietveld and Le Courbusier and large windows that open onto spacious, private wooden terraces. Rooms feature oversize windows, stone floors, and brightly colored fabrics that reflect both the calm and liveliness of Corsican life.

Come and discover this new beautiful place to stay in Corsica that aims to blend the beauty and poetry of the island with the luxuries that the modern-day traveller would expect from a five star hotel. If you're traveling by yacht, moor it at the hotel. Staff can arrange scuba diving, jet skiing, water skiing, and even a hired speedboat for the day. Leisure lovers also frequent the spa's massage cabins, hammam, and relaxation rooms.If you want to just lounge instead, there's no better place to do it than the outdoor infinity pool where the Mediterranean will feel even closer to you.
