Best beach hotels on Corfu (2025)

Corfu is blessed with beaches on every coast, calm seas for swimming, and reliable sunshine from spring through late autumn. Around Corfu Town, resorts like Ipsos and Dassia offer easy access to lively stretches of sand, while the north’s Kassiopi area has quieter coves and clear water for snorkelling. On the west coast, spots like Glyfáda and Pélekas are great for water sports, and the south-west’s dunes at Íssos promise real seclusion. From smart seaside resorts to affordable family hotels, the best beach stays in Corfu make the most of the island’s coastal beauty.

For luxury

With a great position overlooking the sea, and walking distance to Corfu Town, Corfu Palace is the ‘grande dame’ of the island's hotels. Rooms are large and comfortable, if a little dated, all with private balconies or terraces. Plus there’s a spa and lovely pool.
Tucked away on the north-west coast by the beautiful Agios Stefanos beach, Delfino Blu is a great hideaway choice with chic, pale rooms - including some apartments - with flower-bedecked balconies. There’s a free-form pool and a well-regarded Greek restaurant, too.
With a choice of rooms, suites and villas - the latter with private pools - Corfu Imperial is one of the top choices on the island. There’s a glittering lobby, sea-view dining terrace, several restaurants, spa, diving courses as well, of course, as a private beach.

For mid-range

Bella Mare Hotel enjoys a stunning location overlooking the sea at one end of a 1.5km long pebbly beach. Accommodation is a range of elegant and stylish rooms and suites, plus there's a lovely pool and pool bar for sundowners. There's no restaurant on site, but Kassiopi is a short taxi ride away or there's a couple of tavernas within stumbling distance.

With its own private beach, tennis courts, pool, spa, children’s club, mountain-biking centre and snorkelling opportunities, some guests never leave the Kontokali Bay Resort & Spa. Rooms are contemporary-smart, all with private balconies or terraces.

Equally, guests often find it hard to leave Marbella Beach Hotel, a sprawling, white affair with several restaurants and pools, spa, water sports and private beach. Rooms are sleek white-on-white with beautiful garden or sea views.

For great value

On the west coast, beside the stunning Paleokastritsa bay, Zefiros Traditional Hotel belies its name, as rooms are light and modern - some with kitchenettes - with a shared terrace. Light snacks, as well as breakfasts are served in the café-bistro.

A bright, modern hotel on the north coast, with light, airy rooms, the eponymously named Sidari Beach Hotel overlooks the beach. As well as having a pool, the hotel offers diving, riding and boat hire.

Stepping distance from several beaches, Melina Bay Hotel is in an enviable position overlooking the picturesque harbour of Kassiopi. Rooms are light and contemporary in neutral colours and there’s a lovely dining terrace overlooking the bay.
