Hôtel & Spa des Pêcheurs is a sanctuary of "French-Italian" elegance, built directly into the iconic granite rocks of Cavallo. As the only hotel on an island famous for being a refuge for celebrities and European royalty, it offers a level of prestige that is quietly understated. The resort is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and is defined by its respect for the island's raw, volcanic beauty. There are no ATMs or streetlights on the island—only the sound of the Mediterranean and the scent of wild maquis. It is a destination where "luxury" means the freedom to drive an electric buggy to a hidden cove or enjoy a "Sabrage" champagne ceremony on the hotel’s private pier.
Accommodations & Design The hotel features 50 terraced rooms that appear to emerge from the island’s rock formations, designed with a Mediterranean palette of beige, blue, and white.
Privilege Overwater: Spectacular 35-40 sqm rooms with balconies hanging directly over the crystal-clear Lavezzi waters.
The Grande Suite (Primary Suite): This is the hotel’s flagship accommodation, spanning 120 square meters (1,300 sq. ft.). It features a four-poster bed, a massive living area with sofas, two bathrooms (including a Jacuzzi), and a vast private terrace with 360-degree views of the Lavezzi archipelago.
Design: Refined and airy, utilizing local rock, linen fabrics, and French designer furnishings to create a "cocoon" of comfort.
Amenities & Inclusions The guest experience focuses on holistic wellness and maritime exploration:
The Spa: A world-class facility featuring an indoor thalassotherapy pool, a sauna, and treatment suites bathed in natural light.
Gastronomy: The Restaurant des Pêcheurs serves a fusion of French and Italian cuisine with a focus on freshly caught seafood. The Shore Club provides a more casual, "chic" beachside lunch and aperitif setting.
Recreation: A seafront swimming pool, two tennis courts, and a PADI dive center for exploring Roman shipwrecks in the surrounding Marine Reserve.
Exploring: Electric golf carts are available for hire to explore the island’s hidden beaches, such as Cala di Chiesa.
How Private Is This Island? The island is strictly "residents-only," and the hotel serves as the only point of entry for non-property owners. There is no public ferry service; access is only via the hotel’s private shuttle or private yacht. For high-profile guests, the island offers a secure, paparazzi-free environment where the surrounding sea and the Lavezzi National Park act as a natural, monitored gate. The hotel also provides a 24/7 on-site doctor during the peak season, ensuring both medical safety and total discretion for its elite clientele.
