A hotel nestled in the heart of a protected Natura 2000 natural site
Difficult to leave the Marina Di Lava after staying there...
Renovated over time, the establishment retains the authenticity of an unusual place, in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature. Here, the sea sets the rhythm of the days, the landscapes shape the horizon, and each season reveals a different light. In Southern Corsica, staying at Marina Di Lava means experiencing a pause between land and sea. From your balcony or terrace, the Mediterranean offers a changing spectacle: fishing boats at dawn, sailboats gliding on the water, sunsets with fiery reflections.
A place apart, between sea and maquis
The road leaves Ajaccio.
The curves open up to the sea.
The maquis grows denser.
Then suddenly, Golfe du Lava appears.
The hotel sits on the edge of a fine sandy beach, in the heart of a protected Natura 2000 natural site.
9 AM — Wake up to the rhythm of the sea
In the morning, the light filters through the terrace.
The sea changes color with the wind.
We go down to have breakfast facing the sunrise.
Time slows down.
10 AM — Between relaxation and freedom
The beach is just a few steps away. Morning swimming, paddleboarding along the coast, reading in the shade, or simply contemplating.
For the more active, a trip to Ajaccio, the Sanguinaires islands, or the perched villages.
For others, the luxury of doing nothing.
At Marina Di Lava, everyone experiences the sea at their own pace.

1 PM — Lunch facing the sea
The restaurant comes to life slowly.
Brasserie cuisine by the sea: fish, meats, seafood, burgers…
Starting in June, wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas.
The tables are turned towards the Mediterranean.
Lunch becomes a suspended moment.
Open to hotel guests as well as outside visitors.
3 PM — Relaxation, exploration or a gourmet break
Back to the beach. Nap in the shade. Or continue exploring the surroundings.
And for those who didn't take the time to sit down for a proper lunch, the bar welcomes you throughout the afternoon: refreshing ice creams, cold drinks, cocktails, or tapas to share facing the sea. A simple, spontaneous moment, between two swims or upon returning from an excursion.
