Cala d’Istria (Corsica)
Part of upscale villa rental company The Thinking Traveller's treasure trove of stays, Cala d'Istria is for those who "love the finer things in life." Technically not a hotel but rather a sumptuous villa that sleeps up to 10 guests, this splurge-worthy contemporary-style haven comes with an expansive sea-facing infinity pool suspended over gardens, five bedrooms, and a large decked terrace. Those looking to delve into the Corsican culture can choose one of the brand's Think Experiences, which feature locale-immersive excursions, from cooking classes to guided tours and yacht days out on the Mediterranean.
