Long sandy beaches, maquis, crystal-clear water: Corsica is one of Europe’s most sought-after naturist destinations. Its estates are concentrated in two very different areas that are worth knowing before you choose. For the general rules, see our guide to naturist camping.
On the eastern plain, between Bastia and Porto-Vecchio, the commune of Linguizzetta and its seafront of Bravone line up six naturist estates facing the sea, a few kilometres from Aléria, the island’s ancient Roman capital. The coast offers very long, gently sloping sandy beaches, ideal with children.
| Estate | Rating | What sets it apart |
|---|---|---|
| Bagheera | 4 stars | 100 ha of eucalyptus forest, 5 km of beach, wellness area facing the sea, adventure course |
| Riva Bella | 4 stars | 70 ha between the sea and the Terrenzana lagoon, 500 m² thalasso area, llama park |
| Calella | 4 stars | Premium bungalows, two padel courts, mini farm |
| Les Eucalyptus | n/a | 10 ha eucalyptus forest, 250 pitches, 5 km of adjoining beach |
| Club Corsicana | n/a | 6 ha, 4 km of beach, sailing school and catamaran, open-air cinema |
| Corsica Natura | 2 stars | 98 pitches, bungalows for 2 to 8 people, seafront restaurant |
For a first family stay, large estates such as Bagheera and Riva Bella offer everything on site. Riva Bella, backing onto the Terrenzana lagoon protected by the Conservatoire du littoral, will also appeal to nature lovers. Smaller sites, such as Les Eucalyptus or Corsica Natura, suit those looking for a simpler atmosphere.
La Chiappa covers 60 hectares of pine forest and maquis by the sea, on the road to Palombaggia, facing the Cerbicale islands and the Bouches de Bonifacio nature reserve. Open for more than fifty years, the village offers 270 pitches and air-conditioned bungalows, two pools with sea views, three restaurants and a diving club established in 1981. It is one of the sites in our selection with a clothed area.
U Furu offers a completely different Corsica: 30 hectares in the Furcone valley, at the foot of the Alta Rocca, 8 km from the sea. The river that crosses the estate forms waterfalls and natural pools, and accommodation is in small stone houses, the “Casetti”, or on large shaded pitches. The centre is a member of the French Naturist Federation.
