ibis Styles Porto-Vecchio

This could be your bright, breezy base for South Corsica adventures, set just outside the old-town buzz with the beaches of Palombaggia and Santa Giulia within easy reach. Spend your days beach-hopping for that famous turquoise water, then head into Porto-Vecchio’s citadel for sunset viewpoints, little boutiques and harbour-side dinners. Feeling outdoorsy? Swap flip-flops for trainers and tackle nearby trails, waterfall chases or a road trip down to Bonifacio’s cliff-top drama.

Back at the hotel, the rooftop swimming pool comes with a knockout view over the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio, perfect for a post-beach dip and a “we picked well” moment. There’s a fitness centre for pre-apéro endorphins, plus an olive-tree garden with pétanque and table football for low-stakes holiday rivalry. Breakfast is an all-you-can-eat buffet with local Corsican flavours, and the contemporary beach bar is on hand for easy drinks and light bites. Handy extras include free private parking, EV charging, a 24/7 reception team, and a free electric shuttle into the port and centre for effortless evenings. Add in pine-scented air and you’ve got a proper reset.
