A tourism property for sale in Corsica serves guests who come for both sea and mountains. The coast offers the beaches of Porto-Vecchio and Palombaggia, the cliffs of Bonifacio, the Gulf of Ajaccio, the Balagne and Cap Corse; the Gulf of Porto, with the Calanques of Piana and the Scandola reserve, is a World Heritage site. A few kilometres inland, mountain villages, laricio pine forests, the Bavella needles and the GR20 trail attract walkers and nature lovers. Ports at Ajaccio, Bastia and Porto-Vecchio, linked to mainland France and Italy, and the island's airports bring French, Italian, German, Swiss and Belgian visitors.
This page gathers the island's tourism real estate: beach and village hotels, resort complexes of bungalows or villas, tourist residences, campsites, gîtes and furnished apartment groups, farm inns and B&Bs. It is written for buyers of a going concern, investors seeking a resort complex, outdoor accommodation projects and owners planning their succession.

Corsica is one of the country's most expensive rural markets. A country house reached a median €398,800 in 2025, more than twice the national benchmark. Tourist seaside municipalities, the reference for a beach hotel or resort complex, stand at a median €430,000 over 2020-2025, while the tourist inland, at €297,495, remains the most accessible entry point despite rapid growth. A tourism property with several units, a pool and limited building land therefore trades above these medians. Large period homes are too rare for reliable statistics. Gîte and apartment complexes lead the supply, ahead of B&Bs.
Corsican hotels are mostly mid-sized family businesses, often handed down through generations. On the coast, beach and marina hotels open from Easter to All Saints, with a sharp July-August peak; the building, valued for scarce buildable land near the shore, is often worth more than the business. In inland villages of the Alta Rocca, Niolu or Castagniccia, hotel-restaurants and inns host GR20 and Mare a Mare walkers, bikers and day visitors, and island cuisine makes most of the turnover. Farm inns (fermes-auberges) serve charcuterie, cheese and chestnut produce. Properties sell as the building alone, building and business, or business alone under a commercial lease. Searches for hotels in Corse-du-Sud, around Porto-Vecchio, Bonifacio and the Valinco gulf, are especially frequent. Widen the search with hotels on sale across France and inns for sale.
The resort complex is an island speciality: bungalows, villas or mini-villas around a pool and a reception building, sometimes with a restaurant, let by the week in high season. Sought by investors, these can change hands through a sale of shares in the operating company, which carries over the clientele and current contracts, including those with tour operators. Tourist residences and holiday villages follow the same logic with heavier management. Cabins and lodges are also developing in the mountains: see glamping sites for sale.
Campsites are common on the east coast, in the Balagne and the south; selling a rated site with pitches, mobile homes and chalets is covered on campsite businesses in Corsica and in our rural campsite white paper (in French). Village houses split into apartments and groups of wooden chalets appear among gîtes for sale in Corsica, and homes open to guests among Corsican B&Bs.
Wine estates in Patrimonio or Ajaccio, restored sheepfolds and sea-view properties host weddings and seminars; see event venues on the island.
Taking over a hotel or complex involves two deeds: the building, sold through a notary, and the business (goodwill, trading name, contracts, equipment) or the shares of the operating company. A hotel is a public-access building (ERP): ask for the fire safety commission report; star ratings (1 to 5) are granted for 5 years. Check the licence and operating permit transfer with the town hall. In Corsica the Loi Littoral is applied especially strictly, alongside the island's planning framework (PADDUC), which protects outstanding natural areas and farmland: an extension or new bungalows are never a given. The Loi Montagne covers much of the interior. Mandatory brush clearing against wildfires applies around buildings, and off-grid drainage must be SPANC-approved for full capacity. The loi Le Meur of 19 November 2024 governs furnished holiday lets.
High season brings most of the turnover, but spring and autumn, driven by walking and short breaks, matter more and more. Ask for monthly occupancy, tour operator contracts and three years of accounts, then test your assumptions with our holiday rental simulator (in French).
The south, around Porto-Vecchio and Bonifacio, has the wealthiest guests and the dearest premises. The Balagne and the Gulf of Ajaccio combine a long season with air access. The east coast and the interior offer cheaper businesses with a more family and outdoor clientele.
Add to the building value, based on coastal or inland sales, the business value, based on operating profit. Allow for purchase costs (see our notary fee calculator, in French), upgrades, equipment and seasonal staff housing.
