Santa Giulia Holidays
Santa Giulia holidays
Santa Giulia holidays are ideal for families looking for an upmarket beach resort on the beautiful island of Corsica, and offer a relaxed atmosphere close to the major towns of the south, Porto Vecchio and Bonifacio. Santa Giulia is one of the most photographed beach resorts on the island, and boasts a sweeping bay with stunning turquoise waters and brilliant white sands. Santa Giulia holidays are also easily accessible from Figari, with just a 40 minute transfer from the airport.
Soft white sands and azure blue seas, backed by fragrant pines
Santa Giulia is a popular destination for families and there are plenty of activities available to keep everybody busy. The clear waters of Santa Giulia Bay are shallow enough for small children to play in, and there are numerous watersports on offer, including scuba-diving, jet-skiing, windsurfing, waterskiing, kayaking and sailing. For those just looking to relax, holidays in Santa Giulia can offer the ultimate, with the soft sands and almost tropical blue waters being more reminiscent of the Caribbean than the Mediterranean. Facilities for tourists in Santa Giulia are excellent, with plenty of sunbeds to lounge on, a string of cafes and restaurants to visit when hungry, and a selection of hotels and apartments right on the beachfront. Whilst on holiday here, visit the highly rated Palombaggia beach near Porra, which gets very busy in high season, or explore the tiny coves and bays nearby, some only accessible by boat, for some secluded sunbathing.
Visit sophisticated Porto Vecchio, great for people-watching
Other activities available to enjoy in the Santa Giulia area include tennis and golf (on a spectacular 18-hole course at Sperone), whilst the mountainous terrain inland is ideal for walks, horse rides, and even quad biking. Staying in Santa Giulia allows visitors the chance to explore the cosmopolitan Porto Vecchio, a thriving coastal resort just a few kilometers away and the perfect spot for a coffee or evening drink whilst soaking up the atmosphere in the lively marina or strolling around the colourful old town.
