What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
An 18th-century olive mill on the mainland-facing coast of southeastern Corfu...is now The Olivar Suites, a luxurious and stylish boutique-style resort.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Messonghi's sand-and-pebble beach sits right outside, and Corfu Town's Venetian lanes are a forty-minute drive up the coast.
The rooms
Dry-stone walls enclose private courtyards with timber pergolas, and most suites have their own plunge pool.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Daybeds and parasols line the beachfront freshwater pool, which looks across green lawns toward the mountains and sea.
The spa
Treatments draw on local olive oil and Greek botanicals across three private rooms, with a sauna beside the lounge.
The gym
Cardio machines and weights face an enclosed stone courtyard, and the hotel hosts outdoor Hatha yoga in the mornings.
Bar
Olibar
Live jazz and cello accompany evening drinks mixed with island botanicals, looking past arched doors toward the pool deck.
Restaurant
Flya
The waterfront terrace sits under timber pergolas and olive trees, serving Corfiot cuisine and regional wines beside the pool.
How it began

An 18th-century olive mill anchors the property, its original levers and pressing machinery preserved inside the hotel bar.
