Corfu Imperial, a Grecotel Exclusive...

Set amongst cypress and olive trees, Italianate gardens and private coves on its own private peninsula, this waterfront resort offers a sophisticated ambience with luxurious lounge areas and stylish touches.

Previously a favoured retreat for royalty, including Queen Victoria and Empress Sissy, this island hideaway is designed for privacy. Splendid gardens and bungalows are snugly embraced by pine groves, and pastel-coloured villas are reminiscent of the vibrant Ionian sunsets.

Sport and entertainment programmes are specially tailored to suit your tastes. Evening shows and musical nights highlight the rich traditions of the island.

The hotel's conference and banqueting facilities are renowned throughout the business world and its meeting areas are the largest on the island. Just 12 km from Corfu town, this resort hosted the European Union Leaders Summit in 1994. On entering the hotel, you will understand why it was chosen.

Here, the twinkling chandeliers and large colourful murals in the lounges hint at the opulence of the rooms, which open onto magnificent verandas.

The hotel has 3 private sandy beaches, and you can also plunge into the large outdoor pool, surrounded by the blue waters of the Ionian Sea.

Complete your holiday with a visit to the Elixir Spa, where you can indulge your senses with an invigorating treatment or therapy.

Shopping opportunities at the resort include Charisma Jewellery, a general shop, clothes boutique and a hairdresser. There is also a hotel shuttle bus to Corfu town, which runs twice daily (morning and evening).

Award-winning chef, Michalis Rougas, tempts even the finest connoisseurs with a range of local and international cuisine, from simple organic salads to the most sumptuous gourmet banquet.
