Holidays in Mela

An introduction to Mela

Holidays in Mela are all about lazing by the pool under vivid blue skies. Strolling along buzzing harbourfronts. And revelling in Corsica's stellar beaches.

In other words, relaxation – pure and simple. Station yourself in this charming hamlet and you'll have restful countryside, silvery sands and the bustle of chic Porto Vecchio literally at your fingertips.

Tucked into wooded slopes, the village itself is nothing more than a few houses and small shop, so your reveries will hardly be disturbed. When you fancy the beach, a short drive reveals the magnificent Porto Vecchio Gulf. This is where Mela holidaymakers head to find heavenly sands like popular, pine-fringed Palombaggia beach and many quieter coves, all washed by radiant waters. And afterwards, why not throw yourself into Porto Vecchio? This delightful walled harbour town has old cobbled streets, al fresco cafes and shops galore, plus smart restaurants packed around a glamorous marina.

There's something else that makes holidays in Mela memorable – Corsica's countryside. Lose yourself in the stunning Bavella Massif, with its deep forests, towering peaks and magical lake - by car, foot or even on horseback. And let Thomson take you there. Our summer self-catering breaks, including last-minute holidays, to Mela will ensure you enjoy every last drop of stunning south-eastern Corsica.
