Set on the wild Cap Corse peninsula, Hôtel Misincu is often described as “Corsica’s chicest eco-hotel”. This laid-back luxury retreat spans several hectares between the Mediterranean Sea and the maquis scrubland, offering a unique ecosystem of olive groves, riverbanks, and private coastline. With its Cycladic-white walls, terracotta roofs, and low-rise architecture, Misincu blends seamlessly into the landscape while setting a new standard for sustainable tourism in Corsica.

Organic Permaculture & Farm-to-Table Dining

At the heart of Misincu lies its permaculture garden, supplying organic vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers to the hotel’s two restaurants. Michelin-starred chef Reine Sammut crafts vibrant Corsican-Mediterranean cuisine, using this produce alongside island specialties: fresh fish from local fishermen, artisan cheeses, wild herbs, and olive oil pressed from Misincu’s own groves.

From grilled fish in the beachfront bistro to gourmet evening creations, dining here is both sea-to-table and farm-to-table, showcasing hyper-local, seasonal flavors and a true Km0 philosophy.

Renewable Energy & Sustainable Operations

Misincu was built with geothermal heating and cooling systems and solar panels for hot water, dramatically cutting its energy footprint. Water comes from a natural spring, while greywater is recycled to irrigate the estate.

All villas and rooms are proudly plastic-free: refillable bath product bottles, natural cosmetics with Corsican essential oils, and biodegradable alternatives replace single-use items. Waste is rigorously sorted and minimized, with no disposables anywhere on-site. Guests are gifted stainless steel bottles to refill at spring-water stations throughout the property.

Spa & Wellness Inspired by Corsica

The hotel’s eco-spa uses organic Corsican botanicals, algae from the sea, and essential oils of the maquis for its treatments. Wellness rituals connect guests directly with the environment, while the stone infinity pool and natural surroundings create an atmosphere of calm and renewal.

Conservation & Community Initiatives

Misincu actively protects its protected riverbanks, coastline, and Posidonia seagrass beds while sponsoring regular beach clean-ups. It also restored an old olive mill and revived olive cultivation, helping preserve Corsica’s traditional agricultural heritage.

Guests can even adopt an olive tree to offset their travel footprint, supporting regional reforestation and receiving olive oil produced from their tree. This program symbolizes the resort’s mission to connect luxury travel with long-term ecological impact.

Barefoot Luxury & Authentic Corsican Spirit

Days at Misincu are unhurried: hike through maquis trails with sweeping sea views, kayak to hidden coves, or relax by the pool surrounded by wildflowers. Evenings are magical with live music, candlelight, and stargazing under unpolluted skies.

The atmosphere embodies “barefoot luxury” – warm, authentic, and informal. Guests receive handwritten welcome notes, meet friendly local staff, and may encounter resident cats wandering the olive groves. This sense of intimacy makes Misincu more than a hotel; it’s an immersion in Corsican culture, heritage, and nature.

A Sustainable Luxury Escape in Corsica

By fusing Corsican authenticity, rigorous eco-practices, and refined hospitality, Hôtel Misincu offers an extraordinary retreat. It’s a rare resort where luxury coexists with deep respect for nature, heritage, and community – making it one of the most sustainable and enchanting escapes in Corsica.
