Set in a stunning bay on Corfu's east coast, Marbella Corfu is a 5-star resort with beautifully landscaped grounds, a private pebble beach, and exceptional sea views. The resort offers elegant bungalows and suites with direct beach access, multiple pools, and world-class service.
Marbella Corfu is a five-star beach resort on Corfu's south-eastern coast, positioned in an enclosed bay near Agios Ioannis village in the Moraitika area, approximately 25 kilometres south of Corfu Town. The resort faces east across the channel separating Corfu from the Albanian mountains, offering vivid sunrise views and sheltered sea conditions year-round. The surrounding coastline in this part of Corfu is characterised by olive groves, gentle hillsides, and small pebbly bays, giving the property a sense of seclusion despite being close to the island's main southern road.
The resort occupies extensive landscaped grounds in which clusters of whitewashed bungalows and garden suites are set among mature Mediterranean planting. Accommodation categories range from Garden Bungalows — which offer privacy within a shaded olive and cypress garden — to Beachfront Bungalows with direct private-beach access and Deluxe Sea View Suites overlooking the bay. The most exclusive units include private plunge pools. All rooms are air-conditioned with private terrace or balcony.
The private pebble beach extends across a gentle arc of the bay, well protected from wind by surrounding headlands. Multiple outdoor swimming pools of varying depths are distributed across the property, and a dedicated children's pool with shallow areas and water features serves the family zone. A supervised kids' club with an organised activity programme runs throughout summer. Watersports including kayaking, paddleboarding, and pedalos are available from the beach.
A full-service spa offers Greek-inspired and international treatment menus including aromatherapy massages, body scrubs, and facial programmes, alongside sauna, steam, and relaxation facilities. Two floodlit tennis courts and a fitness centre round out the sports provision. Three dining venues cover formal à la carte with Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, a relaxed beachside taverna, and a poolside bar and snack service. The breakfast buffet is served on a covered terrace and features Greek pastries, fresh fruit, local cheese, and cooked options. The resort typically operates from May through October.

Tips for visiting
- Beachfront bungalows fill months in advance for July and August; June and September offer the same bay setting with notably fewer guests.
- The south-east Corfu coast toward Kavos takes around 30 minutes by car and reveals quieter public beaches and village tavernas.
- Tennis courts are floodlit and available for evening play; request court time at reception as demand is highest in the late afternoon.
- The watersports desk opens at 09:00; arriving early secures the most popular equipment such as kayaks during peak weeks.
- Corfu Town and the UNESCO Old Town are around 30 minutes north by taxi — the Venetian arcades and Liston promenade are worth a day excursion.
Accessibility
The resort grounds are largely flat or gently sloped, and main paths between bungalow clusters and the beach are paved. A number of garden-level bungalows are accessible without stairs. Guests with mobility requirements should specify needs at booking; the resort can advise on room placement relative to the beach and pool facilities.
