Les Regalia Hotel & Spa

This family-run boutique hotel near Porto Vecchio is a fabulous escape in a beautiful part of Corsica. It’s spread across an olive-clad estate, with Pinarello Beach within easy reach on a walkway that takes you straight there.
 
The ultra-modern swimming pool has semi-submerged loungers, although there are double cabanas if you’d rather be in the shade. Don’t miss the spa, either. With two treatment rooms, it’s small but perfectly formed and offers treatments that use the vineyard's bounty with grand-cru scrubs and grape-seed oils. When you're feeling properly rejuvenated, search for L’Olveraie, a bar hidden in the olive groves, for a crisp glass of Corsican white wine. 
 
The homemade breakfasts are unmissable, with buttery pastries and cooked-to-order a la carte options. The Alba restaurant, masterminded by young chef Jeremy Passat, comes into its own later in the day with a menu of Mediterranean dishes with Corsican influences – and reason alone to put this gorgeous hotel on your shortlist. Les Regalia has the only Clef d’Or concierge service on the island, so you know you’re getting top hospitality and advice when you’re ready to get out and about.
