The Isle of Beauty is full of wonderful beaches and coves, each more magnificent than the last. Some are extremely popular, such as Santa Giulia and Palombaggia, while others are more secluded, such as Rondinara beach, and are therefore pleasant even in high season.
We have selected the 10 most beautiful beaches from around the island, to help you to make the most of your stay in one of our luxury villas.
In Bonifacio, this idyllic cove is located at the tip of Sperone, facing the island of Piana. It is a beautiful stretch of fine, sparkling sand but it is very busy in July and August, so plan to go early or out of season. Access is relatively easy: from Piantarella beach, follow a short path along the coastline for 15 minutes. If the beach of Petit Spérone is too crowded, you can also walk to Grand Sperone, crossing a golf course.
Arone beach is located 12 km from the village of Piana and offers a sublime view of Capo Rosso.
