Désert des Agriates

— Journey —

Boat from Saint-Florent · 3 h from Ajaccio

The Désert des Agriates is Corsica's last great wilderness — thirty-five thousand hectares of maquis, granite and untouched shoreline between Saint-Florent and the Balagne, where the island's most coveted beaches lie beyond the reach of any road. FFGR Corsica arranges the approach as it should be made: a private boat from the Saint-Florent marina to the white sands of Saleccia and Lotu, or a chauffeured four-by-four across the desert track for those who prefer the land. We coordinate a day of absolute seclusion — chilled provisions, shaded loungers set on the sand, a return along the coast at golden hour. For the patron who has seen every harbour in the Mediterranean, the Agriates offers the rarest luxury of all: emptiness.
