Riva Beach
French Riviera meets Corsican character — intimate, feminine, design-forward without being precious. Family-run feel with an owner-led attention to detail.
Book the pool snack bar for lunch — pizzas and club sandwiches are available poolside and non-guests can access the pool if they order food or drinks at the bar.
Why It Matters
Independently owned and recently renovated, it punched its way onto both the Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels shortlists. The top-tier Suite Luxe Piscine has its own private heated indoor pool and starts at 112 sqm. The spa, A Perla Rara, is open to day visitors as well as guests.
A 4-star boutique hotel perched above the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio, Riva Beach is designed around soft curved architecture and a coastal palette of taupe, peach, and acqua. Inside, pale pastels mix with woven rattan, caned furniture, and artisan-made textiles — and no two of the 19 rooms are decorated the same. Outside, an infinity pool looks out over the bay, and Palombaggia beach is about 10 minutes by car.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Chambre Prestige
A step up from the Supérieure, the Prestige rooms add a private terrace ranging from 7 to 28 sqm depending on the specific room. Same intimate design language as the rest of the hotel. Double or twin beds, maximum 2 guests. Good choice for couples who want outdoor space without committing to a full suite.
Double or Twin (160cm or 180cm)
Chambre Supérieure
The entry-level room at Riva Beach, and still very much a design object. At 21 sqm, it is compact but well thought-out — colour palette of taupe, peach, and acqua green with rattan and caned furnishings. Double or twin beds in 160cm or 180cm. Maximum 2 guests. Baby cot available on request.
Double or Twin (160cm or 180cm) · 21 sqm
Suite Junior
At 41 sqm with a terrace of 8–16 sqm, the Junior Suites open up meaningfully. The bathroom is a highlight — a sea-view shower with a separate WC. Sleeps up to 4 with a 180cm double bed plus a 140cm sofa bed. Gulf views from the windows. Good option for families or couples wanting more spread.
King (180cm) + Sofa Bed (140cm) · 41 sqm
Suite Luxe Piscine
The top category. From 112 sqm with its own private heated indoor pool — a rare feature at this price point in Corsica. Terrace of 8 sqm, sea-view shower, separate WC, 180cm double bed plus 140cm sofa bed. Sleeps up to 4. The decor leans into the Dolce Vita concept most fully here, with natural materials and a very considered palette. Also marketed as 'Suite Luxe Impérial'.
King (180cm) + Sofa Bed (140cm) · 112 sqm
Suite Prestige
The largest standard suite at 51 sqm, with a generous terrace of 18–30 sqm. Flexible sleeping configurations make this a strong choice for families or groups — two 180cm doubles, or one double and one twin with a sofa bed, sleeping up to 6. Separate WC and sea-view shower. Natural materials throughout: rattan, woven textures, soft colour palette.
