Set on a private peninsula with its own private beach and three coves of crystal-clear water, Corfu Imperial is one of the Ionian Islands' finest luxury resorts. The resort features elegant bungalows and suites with stunning sea views, multiple pools, a world-class spa, and exceptional dining.
Corfu Imperial Grecotel Exclusive Resort sits on a private peninsula extending into the Ionian Sea at Kommeno Bay, around 12 kilometres north of Corfu Town and within 10 kilometres of Corfu International Airport. The peninsula's three natural sea coves create an intimate dual-aspect seafront unique on the island, with views stretching toward the Albanian coastline and across the water to the mountainous Corfiot interior. The property is managed by Grecotel, Greece's leading luxury hotel group, and has operated as one of its flagship resorts for several decades.
Architecturally, the resort integrates Corfiot stone masonry, terracotta roof tiles, and Mediterranean-garden landscaping across the sloped grounds of the peninsula. Accommodation ranges from hillside Garden Bungalows and Sea View Suites to exclusive beachfront Presidential Bungalows with private pools. Junior Suites and Superior Rooms offer a range of sea-view options, and butler service is available for the top-tier categories. All units include private terraces or balconies.
Three pools — including a main infinity pool overlooking the sea — are complemented by direct access to two private pebble coves reached via landscaped pathways through the resort grounds. A supervised kids' club with its own shallow pool and a programme of daily activities makes the resort well suited to families, while quiet adults-only sections of the beach preserve a relaxed atmosphere. Watersports hire, including pedal boats, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards, operates from the coves.
The spa is a full-service facility offering Greek-inspired treatments incorporating Corfiot olive oil, local herbs, and volcanic stone therapy, alongside a sauna, steam room, and indoor heated pool. Three dining venues serve the resort: a seafront terrace restaurant with daily à la carte Greek and Mediterranean menus, a traditional grill near the beach serving lunch and light dinners, and a poolside bar and snack café. Breakfast is a daily buffet on the terrace, featuring fresh-baked breads, local cheeses, Corfiot honey, and live cooking stations. The concierge team arrange sailing and boat-hire trips, wine-tasting excursions to the Ropa Valley, and private transfers to Corfu Town's UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, approximately 15 minutes by car.
