What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Domes of Corfu looks straight out into the Ionian Sea from a hillside above the idyllic Paralia Glifadas beach, which means it’s got the views covered.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Glyfada Beach spreads directly below the resort, and the Venetian alleyways of Corfu Old Town are a half-hour drive east.
The rooms
Private verandas look onto fragrant jacaranda gardens, and select ground-floor suites step straight into shared swim-up pools.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers trace the main freshwater pool along glass railings facing the sea, screened by perforated weathered-steel panels.
The spa and gym
Soma Spa uses ancient Greek botanical rituals and Elemis products. Next door, the fitness pavilion holds weights and cardio gear.
Restaurant
Agora
Open-air dining tables sit under whitewashed arches, where buffet spreads and live cooking stations look across Glyfada Bay.
Bar
Haute Living Lounge
Timber tables and herringbone brickwork fill the private lounge, with drinks and small plates set out through the day.
At the table
Shaded timber pergolas sit along the sand, covering tables that serve fresh seafood and Greek meze.
How it began
The property operated for decades as the Grand Hotel before a sweeping 2021 renovation stripped and reshaped the resort.
