On Sardinia and Corsica, nature sets the pace (and it’s got great rhythm). These Mediterranean sisters might do things a little differently—one’s wild and rugged, the other laid-back and golden—but they both speak fluent Aethos: slow mornings, sun-warmed skin, barefoot elegance and that magical sense of being exactly where you’re meant to be. Plan your days... or don’t. Just follow the breeze and see where it takes you.

Aethos Sardinia: golden days, barefoot luxury and flavours that stay with you

At Aethos Sardinia, summer begins softly. The morning air carries hints of sea salt and wild myrtle, setting the scene for sunrise yoga with views that feel both ancient and endlessly alive. From there, the day is yours. Paddle into hidden coves by kayak, or embrace your inner explorer as Captain for a Day—no licence needed, just a spark of curiosity and a love for the open sea. The coastline is yours to uncover, dotted with secret beaches and quiet inlets.

Back on land, Sardinia tells its story through flavour. Join a vineyard tour, Vino e Sapori di Sardegna,  where the bold elegance of Cannonau wines meets the richness of local delicacies—a guided tasting designed to linger on the palate and in memory. For something more intimate, set sail at golden hour with Tramonto sul Mare, a private boat ride complete with fine wine, gourmet bites, and a sunset that melts into the sea. A moment for dreamers, romantics, and those who like their evenings softly unforgettable.

If your palate loves a little intrigue, Sardinian Gold invites you into the world of honey. Visit a local apiary, learn the delicate rhythm of beekeeping, and enjoy a curated tasting paired with cheeses, garden-fresh produce, and—naturally—a glass of wine. Prefer to roll up your sleeves? Step into a traditional farmhouse for Mani in Pasta, where you’ll craft fresh pasta by hand, guided by local wisdom and plenty of good cheer.

When it’s time to slow down, we bring indulgence to its finest form. The Rituale di Vinoterapia is a sensory embrace: a detoxifying sauna, a soothing Cannonau bath, and a quiet moment to simply be—served with Sardinian bites and something lovely in your glass. Or let the breeze guide you with Majestic Breeze, our elegant boat tour around the La Maddalena Archipelago. Whether shared or private, it’s a celebration of freedom, beauty, and the pure pleasure of drifting exactly where you want to be.

Aethos Corsica: raw beauty, wild elegance and the quiet power of nature.

Just across the sea, Corsica invites you into a wilder embrace. Here, the island speaks through its contrasts: jagged cliffs and soft beaches, fiery flavours and tranquil silences. At Aethos Corsica, located in Oletta, nature takes centre stage—and you’re simply invited to listen.

Wake to views where mountain meets sea, then take the path less travelled. Gallop through pine-scented trails on horseback, dive into the Mediterranean’s impossibly blue waters, or hike rugged peaks that seem to pull you closer to something elemental. This is not a place for performance—it’s for presence.

Wellness here comes naturally. Swim laps in our 20-metre pool under the Corsican sun, or step into our treatment room for therapies designed to restore balance, grounded in local rituals and slow care. Then taste the island’s essence: bold, tangy cheeses, rich charcuterie, and reds with a wild streak. Our food philosophy reflects the land—unspoilt, generous, and deeply expressive.

Corsica is more than a destination—it’s a feeling. Earthy, elegant, and real. It doesn’t ask for much. Just that you arrive open to being moved.

Which island is calling you?

Be it the slow charm of Sardinia, or the untamed spirit of Corsica. Or maybe both. Either way, at Aethos, we believe in giving you the space to return to yourself. Through flavours, through nature, through days designed not just to be lived, but felt.
