Corfu
For that quintessential Greek island experience
WHERE IT IS
The Greek island of Corfu lies in the entrance to the Adriatic Sea,
straddling Albania and the Greek mainland, and Italy. In its unique
position, the island has had a rich history of rulers, which in turn
shaped Corfu into a melange of culture. It’s also considered the
greenest of the Greek islands, with two million olive trees planted
across its rolling hills, and mountains swathed in pine forests. On
the coast lie many tucked away coves and hidden beaches.
WHAT TO DO
With such incredible resorts, you might be tempted to do very
little else than relax on the beach and daydream. But if you do
feel like exploring then you can wander into the UNESCO World
Heritage site of picturesque Corfu Town for shopping, eating,
and cultural entertainment.
You’ll always find top-notch diving, kayaking and other
watersports on offer, which are suitable for beginners
and enthusiasts alike.
WHERE TO STAY
Domes Miramare, a Luxury Collection Resort
Part of a prestigious collection of hotels and resorts,
Domes Miramare, a Luxury Collection Resort, is a five-star
adults-only haven with chic decor, sumptuous amenities,
and picture-perfect views at every turn. Set within a garden
that's home to hundred-year-old olive trees and right next to
a beach of white sands, it’s been seducing our guests for
years with its wellbeing spaces and experiences.
Ikos Odisia
The new kid on the block having just launched in June
2023, Ikos Odisia is a gorgeous luxury all-inclusive five
star resort located in Dassia Bay that’s surrounded by
manicured gardens and with views over the sparkling
Ionian Sea. If the impressive number of swimming pools,
private long stretch of beach and tennis courts doesn’t
create enough appeal, then perhaps the swanky
interiors and five à la carte restaurants will.
“What was standout about Domes Miramare for me was just
how reasonably priced the food was compared to when you
go to the Old Town,” says Ian Farrell, a guest who visited
with his partner in June this year. “We were half board across
the restaurants and the quality of food, presentation, and
variety was great, so we never got bored of the menu, and
they always came with great sea views. The sushi restaurant,
Raw Bar, upstairs was a lovely surprise.”
“The scent at Domes Miramare was amazing. Every time
you walked in it felt so good. We actually purchased a
diffuser of that fragrance from the hotel boutique that’s
now in our hallway at home, so whenever we walk
in the door, we get that fond holiday memory.”
