A wealth of outdoor activities awaits right from Villa Jobica. We have curated a selection of the finest experiences for you.
Secluded beaches away from the crowds
The estate's private beach, reachable on foot in less than five minutes, invites you to swim in an unspoiled, sheltered cove. Rich in marine biodiversity, its Posidonia meadows shelter numerous fish species—including the ornate wrasse—while its sandy stretches occasionally welcome passing eagle rays.
You may also explore the coastline by kayak, heading north toward the stunning Capiciolli beach or south toward the sublime bay of Saint Cyprien.
The bay is also accessible on foot via a leisurely fifteen-minute stroll through the Arasu salt ponds—a protected Natura 2000 site renowned for its birdlife, including greater flamingos, egrets, and herons.
Kayaking
A kayak is at your disposal to explore the pristine coastline directly from Punta d’Arasu beach, where dedicated storage racks are available throughout your stay. Glide toward the magnificent Capicciolli beach or venture toward Saint Cyprien bay, circling the Cornuta and Saint Cyprien islets, or simply trace the shoreline to admire the bay’s turquoise waters from the sea.
Mountain Biking
Two mountain bikes (MTB) are available for your use. From the villa, quiet lanes and trails lead effortlessly to Saint Cyprien beach, continuing toward Cala Rossa or, in the opposite direction, the exquisite Pinarello beach. More challenging trails are also directly accessible from the estate.
MTB trails on Komoot
Loops ranging from 10 km to 50 km toward Cala Rossa, Porto-Vecchio, the Osu river, or Pinarello bay, mostly following quiet tracks and tranquil country roads. Spectacular vantage points over the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio and the Bavella Needles mountain range.
Walking Tours & Hikes
Trails available on Komoot, Visorando, or AllTrails
