Le Maquis: Corsican Refined Escape by the Sea

Perched gracefully along the tranquil southern shore of the Gulf of Ajaccio, Le Maquis is a five-star haven blending serene exclusivity with authentic Mediterranean beauty. In operation since 1949, this storied estate exudes timeless charm as Corsica’s only luxury hotel boasting its own private beach and indoor heated pool.

A Boutique Sanctuary of 18 Rooms & 7 Suites

With just 25 individually designed rooms and suites, Le Maquis offers an intimate experience where every stay feels deeply personal. Thoughtful touches—like antique furnishings, private terraces or balconies, and some accommodations featuring jacuzzis—create a harmonious blend of refined comfort and timeless personality.

Coastal Tranquility & Wellness

The hotel overlooks a pristine, naturally sheltered cove and boasts both leafy gardens and sweeping views of the sea. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the private beach, an outdoor pool, plus a heated indoor pool enclosed by a charming tropical greenhouse—perfect for year-round relaxation.

Mediterranean Cuisine with a View

Dining at L’Arbousier, the hotel’s gourmet restaurant, is an experience in itself—rustic yet refined, each meal is enjoyed on a terrace that commands breathtaking vistas over the Sanguinaires Islands and Ajaccio’s horizon.
