At the hotel

Our favourite rooms
Suites here are laid out like a small Corfiot village: cleverly arranged to ensure complete privacy; and none climbing above two storeys. Some have direct access to the beach (though none are more than a few steps away), but our pick is the Riviera Suite, with its five-metre-long first-floor window overlooking the Ionian Sea.
Poolside
The 70sq m private pool is open from 10am to 6pm; there are tables here for dining with views over the Ionian Sea.
Spa
The Aegeo spa takes its influences from ancient Greek traditions: the Cretan massage employs an olive oil base, raki and orange extracts; the face massage uses avocado from Chania; the ancient Greek massage apparently borrows techniques used on athletes at the original Olympic Games. The real showstoppers here, though, are the Aphrodite and Apollo treatments, combining much of the above with international expertise to produce one mmmm-inducing package.
Packing tips
A copy of Gerald Durrell’s My Family and Other Animals, which recounts the British naturalist’s childhood adventures uncovering the secrets of Corfu’s flora and fauna…as well as those of his widowed mum and siblings.
Also
The hotel opens from May until the end of October each year.
Pet‐friendly
Small pets (up to 8kg) are welcome in all suites for €10 per day, and food and water bowls are available. See more pet-friendly hotels in Corfu.
Children
Children of any age are welcome, but there are no specific activities aimed at them; relaxation is the order of the day here. Some rooms fit an extra bed (children under 12 staying on a bed-and-breakfast rate stay free, otherwise charges apply).
Sustainability efforts
As you’d expect from a newly built hotel, the structural materials – including plenty of olive wood – are locally sourced; as are at least 80 per cent of ingredients at the restaurant. Greece’s battle against single-use plastic is in full force here, too, with the hotel being plastic-free and staff taking part in beach-cleaning initiatives.
