Le Maquis: 5-star hotel with a beach in Corsica

Activities and leisure departing from the hotel

The joy of Le Maquis hides so many others because here as at sea everything is possible. On request, our reception team will allow you to take advantage of their experience to organise an infinite selection of leisure activities according to your wishes that will delight young and old alike.

Guaranteed thrills not to be missed:

• Sea outings from the hotel’s private beach aboard luxury open launches with a skipper for an exclusive private à la carte half-day or full-day adventure. No doubt the best way to discover Corsica, its miles and miles of wild coastline, white sand beaches and coves dominated by magnificent mountain landscapes! A range of colours from turquoise blue to indigo and all shades of green, some of the most crystal-clear waters in the world. In the paradisiac setting of the bay of Ajaccio and the surrounding coves, an unforgettable moment of adventure and escapism that you may even be lucky enough to share with dolphins.
• Beach hut party or picnic at sea prepared by us.
• The pleasures of a jet-ski outing and the joys of motor-boating at the controls of machines that combine power and safety with an instructor-guide (no permit required). This is the best way to get close to the coast, discover its secrets and enjoy some unexpected encounters with wild animals as you swim in a hidden cove at the foot of a Genoese tower. One or two-hour, or half or full-day packages.
• All your water sports directly from the hotel’s beach or nearby subject to availability and the season, in collaboration with our usual partners.
• A superb variation to the atmosphere of the coast, head to the mountains in a top-of-the-range 4WD with a guide and discover the most beautiful landscapes along the hidden trails that run through the maquis. Walks offering pure escapism that depart from the hotel along safe trails between the sea and the mountains through the forests of Laricio pine, chestnut, eucalyptus and cork oak. Discover the exceptional fauna and flora and, following the seasons, tasting of chestnuts, the fruit of the strawberry tree, blackberries, wild strawberries, wild asparagus, sea urchins, and more, and swim in a river or the sea! During coffee breaks or drinks at the end of the day, ethnobotanical explanations with Corsican legends and stories. Possibility of lunch at a typical mountain inn, a beach hut, a private estate on the waterside on a deserted beach with a Corsican barbecue, or a picnic prepared by us according to your wishes.
• But also car, motorcycle, scooter and bicycle hire, helicopter transfers and excursions, a multitude of tourist itineraries and visits to sites with or without a guide, with your own vehicle or with a chauffeur.
• Near the hotel, a thalassotherapy centre, a gym, and jogging trails departing from the hotel.
• In Porticcio, you will also find countless land and sea-based activities of all kinds: horse-riding centre and pony club, golf range (6-hole), and rentals of all sorts.
• In the region, everything is possible: paragliding, canyoning, rock-climbing, hiking and long-distance hiking with tourist guides and mountain guides, game fishing and hunting in the season. The choice is vast and we take care of everything!
