Greece’s Riviera-style retreat

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

You arrive at the tip of a private peninsula, where the Ionian Sea wraps around Corfu Imperial, A Grecotel Resort to Live like a silk ribbon. The air smells of salt and pine as you step through arched stone entryways into a grand, marble lobby that opens to the water. Everything feels hushed and cinematic, almost as if you've entered another era of travel.

The resort itself is a blend of classic Grecian elegance and Riviera glam, with a design that echoes Corfu’s Venetian history: stone colonnades, terra-cotta roofs and lavish gardens leading down to turquoise coves. Rooms and suites (many with private pools or overwater decks) are scattered across the peninsula, tucked into secluded corners or perched cliffside.

Dining is a highlight, from sunset seafood feasts at Aristos to breezy lunches at Yali, where your toes can nearly dip into the sea. And when you’re not at the Elixir Spa or lounging on a private beach, you’re exploring secret paths that lead to hidden viewpoints known mostly to returning guests.

Our Inspector's Highlights

At Corfu Imperial, you’re not confined to a single beach. Thanks to its location along a semi-private peninsula, the resort offers three separate coves, each with its own vibe, from pebbled serenity to silky sand with loungers tucked into the rocks.
You’ll have the option of arriving or departing from the luxury resort’s private dock. Water taxis to Corfu Town (just 20 minutes away) are a scenic alternative to traditional cabs. Watching the sun set behind the old fortress from a sleek RIB (rigid inflatable boat) is a moment you won’t forget.
Served with a view over the sea, the morning buffet includes everything from flaky spanakopita and fresh honeycomb to à la minute eggs and a full station for Greek yogurt toppings. And yes, you can sip prosecco with your breakfast — no one will blink.
Despite being a fairly large resort (there are 300 units), Corfu Imperial is full of meandering stone paths and tucked-away terraces where you can read a book or nap without seeing another guest. Even in peak season, it never feels crowded, if you know where to wander.
Inspired by Greek myths of river gods and nymphs, the Elixir Spa feels hushed and cool with mosaic-tiled hammams, candlelit corridors and sea-view treatment rooms. Signature services draw on local herbs and oils, and the indoor pool is so serene, you’ll want to float until your fingers prune.

The Rooms

In entry-level Deluxe Guestrooms, you wake to sunlight spilling through gauzy curtains and the soft shimmer of the Ionian Sea just beyond your balcony. Tucked into the Corfu hotel's main building, these rooms are a quiet retreat above it all with polished wood floors, marble bathrooms and wide-open views ideal for lingering over your morning espresso.
With its wraparound windows and sweeping views of the marina and Corfu Town’s pastel skyline, the Imperial Two-Bedroom Suite feels like a private observatory. Perfect for families or small groups, it offers separate bedrooms, a spacious living area and a full balcony that makes staying in as tempting as exploring.
Just steps from the water’s edge, the airy Junior Suite blurs the line between indoors and out. You’ll find yourself padding across stone floors from your king-sized bed to a private outdoor lounge, where the sound of lapping waves serves as background music.
Hidden among the olive groves and carved into the rocky coastline, the two-story Maisonette on the Rocs feels like your own hideaway. You can float in your private pool while watching boats drift by or enjoy a sunset dinner on the shaded terrace with nothing but sea and sky in front of you.
Reserved for those who want it all, the three-bedroom Palazzo Imperiale villa is set at the tip of the peninsula, where you’re surrounded by sea on three sides. With a private pool, secluded decks and a grand marble entryway that channels Old World elegance, the royal escape is fit for utter indulgence.
