The best hotels in Corfu: from chic all-inclusives to timeless boutique hotels

Greens, blues and golds define the landscape in beautiful Corfu - (Grecotel Eva Palace)

With its electric blue waters, citrus green vegetation and bleached beaches, Corfu’s technicolour hues can feel almost too vivid to be real. Though charm of this Ionian island’s exquisite landscapes is arguably matched by the quality of its hotels, which range from luxe family-friendly all-inclusive resorts to timeless boutique stays.

Here’s our pick of the best Corfu hotels to check into for 2025.

Domes Miramare, A Luxury Collection Resort, Moraitika

By the poolside at timeless Domes Miramare (Domes Miramare, A Luxury Collection Resort)

Dripping glamour from day one, this east coast staple was built by the Onassis family in the 1960s and has hosted everyone from Maria Callas to the King of Greece within its chic walls. And yet despite the historic pedigree, it’s far from staid, with seafront rooms dressed in timeless alabaster hues and polished tasting menus of neo-Greek cuisine.

An adults-only policy keeps the tone elevated and romantic, from the two panoramic-view pools to the surrounding century-old olive grove, waterside garden paths and the Soma spa with Augustinus Bader facials.

Book it: From £211. domesresorts.com

Cook’s Club Corfu, Gouvia

A swim up private pool at Cook’s Club Corfu (Cook's Club Corfu)

Within easy striking distance of UNESCO-listed Corfu Old Town, this adults-only hotel prioritises socialising in style for a younger crowd, with pool sessions soundtracked by DJs, street food inspired menus (you order using your phone) and daily yoga and Pilates sessions for some token wellbeing.

Awash in neutral tones with rattan hanging bedside lamps, block wood side tables and terrazzo-effect tiling, the cool balconied rooms feel like a boho-design Bingo. Opt for a swim-up pool room for the ultimate social stay – you can practically slip straight from bed to chatting with your neighbours. Or choose the all-inclusive package (dubbed ‘Feel Free’) for bottomless food and drink.

Book it: From £171. cooksclub.com

Grecotel Eva Palace, Kommeno

Long, unbuttoned mealtimes at Grecotel Eva Palace (Grecotel Eva Palace)

Dense emerald greenery, segueing into golden beach, all running along a hidden peninsula fringed by turquoise surf — yep, the setting of this truly palatial resort is nothing short of spectacular. Families and couples come for the privacy of the bungalows and villas (not to mention the views out to the Ionian Sea), though rooms in the main house come with Murano glass chandeliers, mosaics and antique furniture to vie for your attention.

A vast seawater pool studded with mature palm trees will form the lynchpin of most days, or at least when you aren’t sneaking off to the rooftop spa or dining on Italian-inflected dishes overlooking bobbing boats at restaurant La Contessa.

Book it: From £225 all-inclusive. grecotel.com

Ikos Odisia, Dassia

It’s unlimited luxe at Ikos Odisia in Dassia (Ikos Odisia)

The Corfu outpost of family-friendly all-inclusive brand Ikos comes with all of the group’s beloved hallmarks: gourmet food, sleek design and luxe extras like free-to-borrow Teslas – plus hundreds of included wines to choose from by the glass or bottle.

Set on a private peninsula on the east coast, north of Corfu Town, Odisia is perfectly placed for exploration but also gives reason to linger with its eight restaurants and 10 heated pools (including separate splash parks for the kiddos). Pay a bit extra for a Deluxe Collection room and you’ll get unlimited Taittinger Champagne, separate (typically quieter) pool areas and a free spa treatment.

Book it: From £295 per night all-inclusive. ikosresorts.com

The Olivar Suites, Messonghi

Olivar Suites has a village vibe, located near Corfu’s Old Town (The Olivar Suites)

If your holiday vibe is a home away from home, you’ll love Olivar Suites for its village vibe, located near the island’s Old Town. It’s low-rise suites all come with a private pool, garden or sundeck and are arranged around a gorgeous late 18th century olive oil mill, amid the beautiful scenery of the Corfiot south east coast with its perpetually blue Ionian Sea and sky.

Committed to wellbeing and with a focus on low environmental impact, the hotel’s beach restaurant uses local produce to curate a Mediterranean menu inspired by Nonas (Greek grandmas). It is also plastic-free zone and was built with natural local materials such as plenty of olive wood.

Don’t visit without trying the Aegeo spa, with ancient Greek influences on the treatment menu including Olympic-inspired and olive oil massages. A bonus for pet owners: small furry friends are welcome to stay in your suite for an additional 10 Euro a day.

Book it: rooms from £163, olivarsuites.gr
