The Facilities

The reserved section of Calvi beach adjacent to the affiliated Marco Plage restaurant is equipped with sun loungers, parasols and towels, all of which can be pre-booked with the hotel reception.

The hotel is also able to arrange boat trips, a variety of excursions and a number of other activities such as horse riding and watersports (all extra cost).

The Local Area

Hotel La Caravelle boasts an enviable position being very close to the beach but also only a short walk to Calvi town, marina and its historic citadel, an imposing landmark that dominates the town. 

Originally a small fishing port, Calvi has always been a historically significant town and, having once been occupied by the Genoese, is reputed to be the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. The town features a selection of excellent bars, restaurants and cafés as well as an idyllic 6.5km sandy beach next to the cosmopolitan marina and overlooked by the old town. 

With its gently shelving sands, turquoise waters and fantastic position, the beach is widely considered to be one of the most picturesque on the island yet is rarely busy outside of the high season. A magnet for opulent yachts and their well-heeled owners, Calvi is one of the most popular tourist towns on the island.

Huw's View

La Caravelle is an ideal choice for those looking for a comfortable, well located 3 star hotel offering excellent value for money for half board.

It is ideally situated opposite the beach and within easy walking distance of Calvi town so will suit both those wishing to relax and those looking for a base to explore Calvi and the local area. The nearby railway offers access to the enchanting village of Algajola and the contrasting, lively town of L’Île Rousse.
