France

From plage to picturesque grounds, nature runs through Domaine Misincu. At the ‘wild’ tip of the island, Cap Corse, this seashore hideaway even has a river running through it – where outdoor yoga and Pilates take place on the banks. With a Zen-like design that soothes from the second you arrive, your only difficulty will be deciding whether to book a room, suite, pool or beach villa.

A location like this makes it a shame to stay indoors. So the spa at Domaine Misincu features pools and treatment spots inside and out. Hiking paths curl away from the hotel inland past olive trees and beehives. A tiny chapel in the gardens plays host to weddings. And small luxury-seekers can play in the kids club. If there’s anything you’ve forgotten to pack – accessories or paperbacks – stop by the stylish boutiques.
