Our destination ideas for an all-inclusive trip to Corsica

Vibrating to the rhythm of Calvary life


Day or night, in the citadel or on the coast, Calvi's Corsican atmosphere is alive and well.

Some of the island's most beautiful beaches can be found around the Gulf of Calvi. If you're planning an all-inclusive stay in Calvi with friends, the Pinède beach is the ideal place to get your feet wet and share a cocktail under the Haute-Corse sun. It's here, in this pine-fringed paradise, that the annual Calvi On The Rocks festival takes place. For your family vacation, we recommend a stroll along the beach of Sainte-Restitude. This sandy cove, known only to a few Corsicans, is the ideal backdrop for a friendly, relaxing day out with your children.

When the sun sets and the lights of the citadel sparkle, Calvi is at its most festive. Settle down on the terrace of the Eden Port facing the moored boats, or inside the Chez Tao piano bar for an intimate evening in one of the town's legendary venues. Wherever you choose, you'll be enchanted by Calvi's festive atmosphere. Like Corsica itself, the capital of the Balagne region is friendly and hospitable. If you'd like to enjoy an all-inclusive family holiday in Calvi, you'll also have the privilege of sampling the very special atmosphere of the north of the island. Put down your suitcases at the residence hotel Joseph Charles, located opposite the Ile Rousse beach, just a few minutes from Calvi. Here, family activities and entertainment will let you discover all the charm of the Balagne region.

Dive into the wild landscapes of Balagne


Between sea and mountains, grandiose landscapes and unspoilt scenery follow one another in Balagne.

Leave the white sandy beaches and warm waters of the Gulf of Calvi for a moment, and venture into the heights of Balagne in the Ghjunsani valley. During your all-inclusive stay in Calvi, sea and mountains will follow one another throughout the day. Take the path to the Col de Battaglia for a hike over the highest reliefs in Balagne. Along the way, you'll pass through Corsican scrub and the region's verdant forests. Once up there, one of the finest views of the Haute-Corse coastline awaits you.

Behind the lively beaches of the Calvais Gulf lie a number of secret coves and bays that look like paradise. During your all-inclusive stay in Calvi, set foot in one of the most beautiful natural sites in the north of the island: Punta di Spanu. Rocks, Genoese towers, small beaches and turquoise waters create a gentle, enchanting atmosphere. To get as close as possible to the Punta di Spanu trails, we recommend you stay at the hotel club Golfe de Lozari. Just a stone's throw from Ile Rousse and Calvi, it's the ideal base for family adventures along the wild coastline of Haute-Corse.

Discover the traditions of Haute-Corse

Like its breathtaking scenery, Balagne has kept its traditions intact. In the villages of this northern region of the island, the heart of the Corsican soul beats.

The hinterland around Calvi is full of small hamlets where time seems to have stood still. One of them, Sant'Antonino, is considered one of Corsica's most beautiful villages. Make the most of your all-inclusive stay in Calvi to explore this commune, which has retained all its charm of yesteryear. Stroll along its cobbled streets and wind your way between chapels and medieval houses. As you stroll along, you'll be accompanied by a fruity aroma: Sant'Antonino is also famous for the many lemon trees that dot its slopes. After exploring the village, make a detour to Monticello to sample the brocciu and other sheep's milk cheeses made by producer François Fondacci. Vacations in Corsica awaken every one of your senses. During your all-inclusive Calvi trip, savor the island's finest products over lunch in your hotel, at market stalls or directly from the producer.
