Hôtel Casadelmar, Porto-Vecchio, Corsica, France
Undeniably Corsica's 'design hotel', Casadelmar is a low-rise, beautiful piece of linear architecture that embraces the spectacular views. Modern to the core yet easy in its landscape, the hotel's huge picture windows let the outside in, whilst the perfect infinity pool seemingly drifts into the horizon.
Then there's the villa, designed by Jean-François Bodin, which looks like it landed straight off the pages of a design bible; a secret solarium; Spa by ESPA; and the island's only two-Michelin-star restaurant.
