Opened in 2012, this lovely sister hotel of Hôtel Casadelmar, across the Golf of Porto-Vecchio, is also a Bodin-designed property, hidden away at the tip of a red rock peninsula. The twelve rooms and three suites are deeply comfortable, spacious and done in a minimalist style. They are located in three separate villas, and feature a color scheme of predominantly white, grey and sand tones, with a mix of stone and blond wood furnishings. All of the spaces are livened up with splashy colored chairs and light fixtures by contemporary designers.

Lunch and dinners are served on the shaded outdoor patio restaurant, featuring a market-driven menu of salads, pasta, grilled fish, spit-roasted lamb and poultry, plus refreshing homemade ice cream and fruit tarts for dessert. At sunset, the bar comes alive with a festive vibe and fills quickly with the beautiful people who swing by for cocktails or dinner.
