Cavallo Island is a secluded paradise just off the coast of Bonifacio, part of the Lavezzi archipelago. As the only inhabited island in the group, it offers a unique blend of pristine nature and exclusive tranquility. Visitors can explore its rugged coastline, dotted with private coves and beaches of fine white sand, where the water is exceptionally clear and inviting. The island's interior is covered with low maquis scrub and granite outcrops, crisscrossed by walking trails that lead to panoramic viewpoints. Despite its exclusivity, day trips by boat from Bonifacio are possible, allowing you to experience the serene atmosphere and swim in the turquoise waters. The island is also known for its luxury villas and a small port, but much of its charm lies in the untouched natural beauty and sense of escape.
