Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa

Angsana Corfu Resort and Spa is a five-star resort on the Corfu-Benitses national road, overlooking Benitses Bay on the east coast of the island of Corfu in Greece. The property sits between Corfu Town and the village of Benitses, roughly ten kilometres south of the Old Town and about 15 minutes' drive from Corfu International Airport. Benitses itself is a former fishing village that grew into a resort strip with tavernas, shops and a harbour, and the resort's hillside position gives it views across the bay toward the Albanian coast on clear days. The resort belongs to the luxury category in this guide, with indicative May-October rates of about €220-520 per night. Its character is that of a contemporary full-service spa resort rather than a historic hotel, with the wellness offering as the central theme: the amenities listed include a spa, a fitness centre, a pool, a restaurant, a bar and a concierge, alongside air conditioning and wifi. Guests can expect a range of rooms and suites suited to couples and families, with sea-facing categories commanding higher rates. Dining is available on site, and the surrounding area offers traditional Corfiot taverna meals in Benitses and the nearby villages. The concierge service can help arrange excursions, which are numerous: the Old Town of Corfu Town and its fortresses, the Achilleion Palace in Gastouri, the Kanoni peninsula, boat trips to Paxos and Antipaxos, and the beaches of the south and west coasts. The service character is polished and relaxation-oriented, appealing to couples, honeymooners and spa-minded travellers who want a quiet base within a half-hour of the main sights. A car or taxi is advisable, as the resort is on a main road rather than in a walkable historic district. The bay below is well placed for swimming and watersports in summer, and the proximity to the Benitses seafront provides evening dining without a long transfer.
