Hotel Casadelmar Corsica: our hand-picked 5-star hotel in Porto-Vecchio. Included with every suitespot booking: breakfast for two, a room upgrade subject to availability, hotel credit and VIP service – benefits of over €500.
Hotel Casadelmar Corsica · Porto-VecchioFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Porto-Vecchio and chose one: a luxury hotel above the gulf – with two Michelin stars and a five-and-a-half-month season. What that means for booking is below.Our choice for Porto-Vecchio is the Hotel Casadelmar Corsica on the Route de Palombaggia, on the south shore of the gulf looking across at the town. In our ranking it stands at 4.3 out of 5, and a night starts at 616 euros. The hotel takes part in the Leaders Club loyalty programme and is a seasonal hotel: open in 2026 from 24 April to 11 October.
Why we recommend it: Because it is the hotel on Corsica where architecture and kitchen hold the same rank: a building of red cedar and glass by Jean-François Bodin in which the beds face the sea, a 25-metre infinity pool in an Italian garden above the gulf, a spa – and the restaurant Casadelmar with two Michelin stars for Fabio Bragagnolo’s cooking. Our recommended category is called Executive Terrace View.
The hotel is open five and a half months a year.
First the season, because it conditions everything else: open from 24 April to 11 October 2026, closed before and after. Anyone wanting Corsica in spring or autumn checks the date before the room.
Then the sizes: 35 square metres in the Superior room, 48 in the Deluxe, 45 to 75 in the five suites, 79.25 in the two private villas. Then there is the Executive room, our recommended category, with a view of garden and sea; our travel advisors confirm its exact size before you book.
And the view: most categories look across the garden to the sea – Garden and Sea View. It is the view across the garden to the gulf and the town opposite. Pure sea view is promised only by the two villas at 79.25 square metres.
Our advice: have the size of the Executive confirmed – or take the Deluxe at 48 square metres. Same view, and the upgrade on arrival leads from there into the Deluxe Suite at 53. And anyone wanting the gulf without the garden in front tells our travel advisors: villa – and early, because there are two.
The Hotel Casadelmar Corsica lies on the Route de Palombaggia, the road that runs from Porto-Vecchio harbour along the south shore of the gulf to the beaches – two and a half kilometres from the citadel, a good four from Palombaggia.
Our recommendation is therefore for anyone visiting Porto-Vecchio for the water and wanting the town as a backdrop on the other side of the gulf – near enough for an evening at the harbour, far enough for the quiet.
What lies within reach: the beach of Palombaggia, white sand between pines and red granite, ten minutes down the road; the citadel of Porto-Vecchio with the Place de la République and the view over the gulf; and Bonifacio, the town on the limestone cliff at the island’s southern tip, half an hour.
For orientation: Figari airport lies twenty kilometres to the south-west, just under half an hour; the ferries from Marseille, Toulon and Livorno dock in Porto-Vecchio harbour. For the interior – Aiguilles de Bavella, Ospedale – one needs a car, and the roads are Corsica.
The Hotel Casadelmar Corsica offers eleven categories, five of them suites and two villas.
The rooms: 35 square metres in the Superior, 48 in the Deluxe – twice, once with garden and sea view – and the Executive.
The suites: 45 in the Superior Suite, 53 in the Deluxe Suite, 62 in the large Superior Suite and in the Executive Suite, 75 in the large Deluxe Suite.
The villas: 79.25 square metres, twice, both with sea view.
On the view: this hotel’s motif is the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio with the town opposite – eight of the eleven categories look across the garden to the sea. The two villas look straight out to sea.
What applies equally to every category: breakfast for two, the upgrade on arrival subject to availability and regular Leaders Club points when the membership number is given.
A night at the luxury hotel in Porto-Vecchio starts at 616 euros.
There is expressly no minimum stay: a single night can be booked. Included are: breakfast for two, an upgrade on arrival subject to availability, regular Leaders Club points when the membership number is given, early check-in and late check-out subject to availability.
When it is open: in 2026 from 24 April to 11 October. Outside these weeks the hotel is closed.
When it is loveliest: in June and in September. The water is at swimming temperature, Palombaggia has room, and the road to Bonifacio is clear.
What belongs to Corsica: August. Then the south of the island is full, so are the beaches, and the hotel is booked out weeks ahead – not because it gets worse, but because France is on holiday.
When to ask early: for the two villas on any date, and for every category from mid-July to the end of August.
How long to stay: four nights for three beaches and Bonifacio – five if the mountains are added.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
Corsica is a mountain range in the sea – and Porto-Vecchio is the place where the mountains step furthest back from the shore and leave room for the beach. The south of the island is its gentlest part: granite instead of limestone, pines instead of maquis, bays instead of cliffs.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThree things belong to it. First Palombaggia and Santa Giulia: the two beaches on every Corsica poster – one between red rocks, the other in a lagoon, both on the doorstep. Second Bonifacio: the town standing on a white limestone cliff above the sea, with the King of Aragon’s staircase cut into the wall. Third the Aiguilles de Bavella: the granite needles above the pass, an hour inland, for the one day one does not want the water.
The package at this hotel is breakfast, upgrade and points.
What our travel advisors arrange most often: the table at the starred restaurant, because two stars are rare on Corsica and the table goes faster than the room, the car from Figari, because one needs it, and the season check – for the reason stated above.
And for Leaders Club members: our benefits sit alongside those of the programme, they do not replace them. Give your membership number when booking and the points follow.
The most widely represented is Leaders Club. Booking through suitespot costs you neither points nor an elite night: the rate settles as a direct rate and your status is still recognised. Here is what is available in Porto-Vecchio:
