Family holidays in Corsica
Corsica is made for family holidays, with beautiful beaches, outdoor adventures and hand-picked accommodation for every age. From spacious villas with private pools to family-friendly hotels and apartments, we’ll help you find the right Corsica family holiday.
Corsica, your perfect family holiday destination
When it comes to choosing a family holiday, there are many things to consider; at Corsican Places, we want to make those choices easy for you.
Corsica boasts stunning beaches, beautiful natural spaces, short flight times from the UK and plenty of things to see and do to keep the little ones entertained. It’s the kind of destination that encourages families to spend time outdoors and share adventures together.
We are proud to offer a wide selection of properties that are well suited to family holidays, with many of our properties reflecting Corsica’s character. Rather than large all-inclusive holiday villages packed with waterslides and organised entertainment, Corsica is known for its collection of family-friendly hotels, self-catering apartments and private villas. These offer a more relaxed and authentic holiday experience, with plenty of space to unwind and explore at your own pace.
Family-friendly hotels in Corsica
Family-friendly hotels take the hard work out of a holiday, giving parents the chance to relax while everything you need is close at hand. Choose interconnecting rooms or family suites and you can keep everyone together while still giving older children a little independence. On-site restaurants mean there’s no need to plan, shop for or cook every meal, while swimming pools and organised activities provide plenty to keep younger guests entertained.
Family villas & self-catering options
Villas give families the freedom to enjoy Corsica at their own pace, with all the comforts of a home-from-home and plenty of space to spread out. Private pools mean you can enjoy lazy days without leaving your accommodation, while your own kitchen gives everyone the flexibility to eat when they want and cater for different tastes. Cooking some meals yourself can also help keep holiday costs down, particularly for larger families. Add spacious living areas, private gardens and outdoor dining, and a villa quickly becomes much more than somewhere to sleep – it becomes your own space to relax, play and spend time together.
Multi-generational family options
Holidaying with grandparents, grown-up children and grandchildren can be a wonderful way to spend time together, but finding accommodation that works for everyone can be challenging. Corsica has some clever solutions, from large villas with multiple bedrooms and generous communal spaces to several villas on the same plot. This means everyone can come together for meals, pool days and excursions, while still having their own bedroom, living space or even an entire villa to retreat to. It’s the ideal balance for multigenerational families: plenty of opportunities to share the holiday’s special moments, without anyone feeling they have to be together every minute of the day.
A beach for every family
Corsica’s coastline is one of its greatest family assets. With more than 200 beaches dotted around the island, there’s an extraordinary variety of places to swim, play and relax. Many family favourites combine soft sand with shallow, clear water, while others offer something a little more adventurous, from rock pools and snorkelling spots to secluded coves reached by boat. Calvi’s broad sweep of sand is ideal for easy-going beach days, while Santa Giulia, Palombaggia, Campomoro and Rondinara are particularly appealing for their shallow waters and family-friendly surroundings.

Family fun: things to do in Corsica
Keeping the whole family entertained is easy in Corsica, thanks to an exciting mix of outdoor adventures, beautiful beaches and experiences that appeal to all ages. Younger children can build sandcastles on gently shelving beaches, explore natural rock pools and discover hidden coves, while older children can try kayaking, sailing, snorkelling and other water sports.
Away from the coast, the island’s mountains and forests offer opportunities for hiking, horse riding, treetop adventures, canyoning and wild swimming.
Even getting around can become part of the adventure, with scenic train journeys winding through mountains, gorges and along the coast.
Boat trips are another family favourite, offering the chance to explore hidden coves and islands and spot wildlife along the way. Add in fascinating archaeological sites, historic citadels and lively festivals, and there is plenty to discover. We’ve picked our top 10 things to do with children in Corsica to help you plan your family adventure.
Our advice
I have taken my family to Corsica so many times that I’ve lost count. No matter what age my children are at the time, there is something to keep them entertained. As toddlers they loved playing on the gently sloping beaches and now as teenagers they love jumping off cliffs, the endless array of water sports, the boat trips or even heading into the mountains to find lakes and rivers to dive into.
