Sortie Sud Porto Vecchio Corsica France

nightlife

Just south of Porto Vecchio (where Corsica's best beaches are found), one of Europe's largest outdoor dance clubs is discovered on a grassy-bluff above the Mediterranean. During the off-season, sandy-winds blow through the mammoth-sized club like a ghost town, prompting sensible off-season travelers to wonder its purpose and use. By the end of June, life returns as DJs find their way to the turntables and begin to entertain the beautiful masses that seek-out the club as a glamorous-alternative to Ibiza. Guests arrive well after midnight, sporting their finest Italian yacht-wear and maintaining the most dignified of French-behavior. By 3am the club explodes into dancing mayhem, think heavy cruising and petting, which lasts through the morning hours. Aside from the top-notch DJ like Philippe Corti and Erick Morillo, the club features beautiful views, oversize swimming pool (subject to spontaneous falls and sunrise make-outs), and one of the sexiest dance crowds in Europe - at least till September's closing.

Tips

This isn’t Spain, the French-sophisticates that frequent the club dress to impress. Think white-linen, flowy-sexy dresses and low-cut shirts. Don’t forget the tan.

Last Word

Open-air dance club lures European-jetset for international deejays and sexy singles scene to understated French island.
