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.

Hôtel San Lucianu | 3-star

Right on the beach at Moriani Plage, Hôtel San Lucianu is an excellent choice for active families. Children can enjoy organised activities during the summer, while everyone can make use of the swimming pool, tennis, bikes, paddleboards and kayaks. Family suites and interconnecting rooms make staying together easy.

Hôtel Bartaccia | 4-star

Hôtel Bartaccia makes family holidays easy, with spacious rooms sleeping up to four, interconnecting rooms and a dedicated children's pool. The sandy beach of Sampiero is just 250m away, while Propriano's restaurants and marina are within walking distance. It's an appealing mix of comfort, convenience and seaside fun.

Hôtel La Lagune | 4-star

Families will appreciate the generous mezzanine rooms at Hôtel La Lagune, which sleep up to four and give children their own sleeping area. There's also a swimming pool, restaurant and spa, while the hotel is in the Costa Verde region, known for its stunning family-friendly beaches and relaxed atmosphere.

Hôtel Le Pinarello | 4-star

For families who want to be beside one of Corsica's beautiful beaches, Hôtel Le Pinarello is hard to beat. The hotel sits directly beside the sand and offers family-friendly room options, while children's swimming lessons are available on the beach. Pinarello's shallow waters are particularly appealing to younger swimmers.

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.

Villa Belen | Sleeps eight

A brilliant choice for larger families, Villa Belen sleeps up to eight across four bedrooms. With a private pool, table tennis and a playroom with table football, while the large terrace is perfect for family meals al fresco. The open-plan living space and well-equipped kitchen make self-catering for large groups easy.

Villa Joseli | Sleeps six

Villa Joseli is particularly well suited to families with younger children thanks to its enclosed garden, giving parents added peace of mind while little ones play. There's also a large private pool, spacious accommodation for six and a handy location close to St Florent, with restaurants and shops nearby.

Villa Ardoli | Sleeps four

A great option for families who want beach life without needing to drive everywhere, Villa Ardoli sits just a few minutes' walk from a beautiful sandy beach and local restaurants. The private pool adds another place for children to splash, while the elevated setting provides wonderful mountain and village views.

Maisons Bervily | Sleeps four

These charming two-bedroom houses offer a particularly easy family set-up, with a shared pool, spacious gardens and plenty of room for children to play. Calvi's famous sandy beach and town centre are both around a 10-minute walk away, meaning families can enjoy days out without constantly getting in the car.

Casa di Padula | Sleeps four

Casa di Padula combines a peaceful countryside setting with easy access to the facilities and beautiful beaches of St Florent. Families have a private pool and attractive outdoor dining terrace, while the villa's location makes it simple to combine relaxing days at home with trips to the beach, local markets and restaurants.

Les Terrasses di Rondinara | Sleeps six

These one and two-bedroom villas have fully equipped kitchens, spacious terraces and room for up to six, while a heated infinity pool, children's play area and beach toys keep younger guests entertained. Rondinara Bay is just a short walk away. There's even a bread delivery service for breakfast and babysitting available on request.

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.

Casa Regina | Sleeps up to 18 when booked with U Casale

Casa Regina in Santa-Reparata is one of the strongest choices for a multigenerational holiday, with six bedrooms, six bathrooms and a huge dining table where everyone can eat together. The villa has a private pool and generous outdoor space, while its separate studio provides extra privacy. It can also be booked with neighbouring U Casale to accommodate up to 18 guests.

Villa Dalida | Sleeps 12

Set high above the charming town of Porto Vecchio, Villa Dalida offers six bedrooms and six bathrooms, making it particularly well suited to extended families. The private 12 metre pool and expansive terrace provide plenty of communal space, while the villa's location puts the beaches of Palombaggia, Santa Giulia and San Ciprianu within easy reach for easy family days out. With plenty of walking routes nearby too, for those looking to explore!

Villas Mandarine | Sleeps up to 12

Villas Mandarine offers a clever solution for families who want to holiday together without necessarily sharing one house. The collection includes three-, four- and six-bedroom villas, each with its own private pool and garden, within a five-acre setting near Calvi. Shared facilities, bakery deliveries and optional babysitting add further convenience.

La Citaj & La Petite Citaj | Sleeps up to 12

Although La Citaj itself has four bedrooms, it can be booked with neighbouring La Petite Citaj to create accommodation for up to 12 people. This is particularly useful for multigenerational groups because everyone remains close together while retaining separate living spaces. Both properties are within walking distance of St Florent's restaurants and marina.

Villa Bicu Rossu, Casa di Pruno & Casa di L'Olivu | Sleeps 12

Three villas: For families who value privacy, this trio of bergerie-style villas is arguably even more appealing than one large house. Each has its own pool and outdoor space, yet all three sit together in the same grounds, allowing a multigenerational family to holiday side by side while grandparents, parents and children retain their own space.

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.

6 reasons to choose Corsica for your next family holiday

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.
