The setting: Riva Bella, Corsica’s east‑coast beachfront resort

• Beachfront convenience: Step from your lodging to the shoreline and coastal trails.
• Always connected: Free HD Wi‑Fi covers all rentals and pitches—great for remote work or extending your stay.
• Essentials on site: A grocery store (7 days a week), a bar‑restaurant serving Corsican terroir cuisine, and a relaxed TV lounge make day‑to‑day easy.

• Getting here: Guests benefit from a CORSICA LINEA sea‑crossing discount with code HEBCDRB.
• Eco‑conscious touches: European Ecolabel certification, eco‑gestures, and even free eco‑friendly dishwashers (5‑minute cycle) in sanitary blocks.

If dining flexibility matters, the seaside restaurant also proposes meal plans: breakfast (€12), half‑board (€45), and full board (€75).

Naturism made simple

Riva Bella practices naturism across the campsite, rentals, beach, and natural areas from 1 April to 5 November. Outside these dates, the entire resort, beach, and facilities operate in textile mode. For newcomers, the etiquette is straightforward: be respectful, bring a towel for shared seating areas, and enjoy the freedom and comfort naturism provides.

Wellness within steps: Thalasso & Spa and a free beachfront sauna

Riva Bella’s 500 m² Thalasso & Spa is open to everyone by reservation and features:

• A naturist bio‑sauna and hammam
• A 32 °C marine circuit for seawater hydrotherapy
• Massages du monde and aesthetic care delivered by certified practitioners
• Selected services available for children (Prestation enfants: Oui)

You’ll also find a complimentary sauna installed directly on the beachfront—a serene way to end a swim or a coastal walk.

For movement and mindfulness, join the resort’s free, daily coach‑led sessions with coach Jérôme—think Pilates, sea‑fitness, stretching, and relaxation. Prefer focused practice? Book a structured Stage de Yoga (in addition to the free summer sessions).

Nature, activities, and slow adventures from your door

The Oriente Bungalow puts you close to soft‑adventure days and slow travel moments:

• Hiking: Explore 18 marked trails in the surrounding Oriente region, from sea‑level paths to mountain routes.
• Cycling: Follow the dedicated “Biking tour around Riva Bella” that starts directly at the resort.
• Horseback riding: With Equiloisirs, try the 1 h 30 discovery ride through the Cortenais mountains (€50 per person, beginners welcome, year‑round) or the 4‑hour ride with river swim to Pont de Torchia, including a snack (€110 per person, June–September).
• Llama park: Wander a ten‑hectare llama park created in 1989. These gentle camélids help aerate and fertilise the soil and even provide wool used for bungalow insulation—an emblem of the resort’s eco‑approach. Guests may observe them on nature walks and feed them with suitable vegetable peelings provided or approved by staff.

Families will appreciate seasonal Kid’s Club activities for ages 5–14 and creative workshops. Optional fee‑based archery, pottery, and watercolour classes add variety to quiet seaside days.

Sea view or nature side?

Riva Bella offers both sea‑facing terraces and nature‑side settings across several villas and bungalows. During booking, you may select your preferred orientation. If uninterrupted blue inspires you, choose sea‑facing. If you treasure birdsong and maquis scents, choose nature‑side.
