The upscale Hotel U Capu Biancu enjoys a spectacular but isolated hillside setting that gently slopes down to its two private beaches on the Gulf of Santa Manza. This stylish boutique hotel takes advantage of the great views, with lots of seating tucked into the terraced hillside. Its 42 rooms and suites have private patios or balconies with lovely views as well. The comfortable rooms are individually decorated in a distinctive, rustic-chic fashion that incorporates natural materials like stone and weathered timbers, but some guests have found the unusual room configurations unappealing. Amenities include an infinity pool, spa, fitness center, and fine-dining restaurant that, like the hotel itself, is quite expensive. A less pricey option closer to Bonifacio is the upscale A Cheda, which also has individually-decorated rooms.

The upscale A Cheda is a distinctively original boutique hotel set in a charming private Mediterranean garden filled with winding stone paths, fountains, and lush landscaping. It’s quiet and relaxing -- if a bit isolated -- but it's still less than 10 minutes from bustling Bonifacio. Features include an expensive gourmet restaurant, a lovely heated pool and whirlpool, and a mini-spa offering massages and other treatments. The 16 rooms are individually decorated and have chic bathrooms; some units even have their own saunas. Rates are competitive, but can be a bit elevated in high season. For a nearby option with its own beaches, travelers can consider the upscale U Capu Biancu, but expect to pay more.

La Villa is a luxury property with stylish surroundings, breathtaking views, and 50 swish rooms, suites, and villas. Its location a 15-minute drive from Calvi is serene, as are views from outdoor poolside terraces and most of the rooms. Rooms are high-end and chic, outfitted with iPod docks, furnished terraces, and marble bathrooms that have both tubs and separate showers. While larger units have up to four bedrooms, the subdued vibe and gastronomic Michelin-starred dining attract more couples than families, despite there being a kiddy pool. An indulgent spa, private beach (off-site), tennis court, and fabulous outdoor spaces are designed for peace and quiet, but prepare for steep prices. For a downtown stay that's lighter on the wallet, consider the Hotel Le Saint Erasme.

The four-pearl Le Pinarello Hotel provides a peaceful and romantic vacation getaway right on the beach in Sainte-Lucie de Ponte Vecchio. Stunning ocean views from the 33 rooms and public spaces, give the hotel an edge over similar properties, as do the superfluous number of amenities like a rooftop pool, spa, free kayaks, and gym. Breakfast and lunch are offered here, but they’re pretty hefty in price, and with only a few restaurants within walking distance, guests will definitely need a car to explore. The 33 rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. They come with stocked mini-fridges, but lack coffee- and tea-making facilities. For those who prefer a hotel with a restaurant that serves dinner, it may be worth comparing prices at the Grand Hotel de Cala Rossa.
