✅ Top 3 pros

Spectacular 1,000 m² Infinity Pool

An iconic focal point with plenty of space, super-comfy loungers, and excellent service. The heated 25-metre indoor pool is ideal on cooler days.

Private Beach with Shuttle Service

Emerald Beach features calm waters, a chic beach club atmosphere, and watersports; the hotel shuttle makes beach access effortless for guests.

Extensive and High-quality Dining

From Corfiot delicacies at Sofrito and Asian flair at Oribu to innovative cocktails at Vertigo Sky Bar—ingredients are first-class and the ambience is unbeatable.

❌ 3 cons to be aware of

Hilly Resort with Walkways and Lifts

The terraced hillside setting adds charm but sometimes means extra walking and lift rides—especially depending on your room location.

Premium Rates in High Season

During the summer, the location, standards, and service are reflected in the price; for best value, consider travelling out of peak season.

Pebbly Beach Sections

Parts of Emerald Beach are covered in pebbles—water shoes are recommended for added comfort.

Overview & Hotel Highlights

Perched on a lush hillside with sweeping views of the Ionian Sea, Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa stands as the Banyan Group’s flagship destination in Europe. For 2025, guests will find a stylish five-star retreat: a photogenic 1,000 m² infinity pool, private beach (Emerald Beach), and an award-winning spa. Spacious rooms and villas, Mediterranean-Asian culinary experiences, and slick yet warm service combine to create a holiday that is both restorative and inspiring—all within easy reach of Corfu’s enchanting Old Town.

Design, Cleanliness & First Impressions

Contemporary architecture blends with local Corfiot touches—pale natural stone meets warm wood and mellow citrus hues. Public areas are thoughtfully laid out with clear signage and lifts leading to various levels of the hillside. Impeccable cleanliness: guest rooms, restaurants, pool areas, and spa are sparkling, towels and loungers always feel fresh, and glass balustrades and stone surfaces create a polished impression. Olive, pine, and Mediterranean herb gardens are beautifully maintained for a sense of serenity and exclusivity.

Room Ambience & Quality

Even the entry-level Grand Rooms are generously proportioned, offering plush beds, smart layouts, marble bathrooms with walk-in showers, large windows, and a furnished balcony; suites often feature standalone bathtubs. For total privacy, pick one of 37 villas with private pool. Prices are especially attractive off-season; during the summer, premium rates reflect the hotel’s high standard and superb service.

Pools, Beaches & Bathing Experience

The signature feature is the vast 1,000 m² infinity pool—a striking, expansive spot where sea and sky merge. Surrounding are soft loungers, cabanas, and attentive pool bar service. The heated 25-metre indoor pool offers year-round swimming, with sauna, steam, and a well-equipped gym and yoga deck adjacent. Emerald Beach sits at the base of the resort, with regular shuttle service (often up to midnight in season). Waters are clear, shoreline partly pebbled—water shoes come in handy. Watersports (SUP, kayaking, jet skiing, and more) and a relaxed beach club with food and drink complete the experience.

Dining & Breakfast

The food scene here impresses: breakfast at Ruen Romsai is lavish, with Greek specialities (pastries, honey, yoghurt, fresh fruit, made-to-order eggs). For dinner, choices range from contemporary Corfiot classics and Mediterranean grill at Sofrito, to Japanese-Korean fusion at Oribu. Vertigo Sky Bar offers cocktails and live acts (seasonal), as do the Emerald Beach Club and Sunrise Pool Bar. Ingredients are top-notch—fresh fish, subtle and well-balanced flavours. Tip: Reserve tables early during high season.

Wellness & Relaxation

The Angsana Spa is generously sized: treatment rooms with sea views, Rainmist suites, signature massages with natural oils—an East-meets-West approach in peaceful harmony. The gym offers cardio and strength equipment, seasonal fitness classes, and a yoga deck. Families appreciate the children’s pool and well-organised Rangers’ Kids Club (ages 4–11) near the infinity pool.

Perfect for design-loving couples, discerning leisure-seekers, and families who value comfort, views, and a resort lifestyle over proximity to Corfu’s city centre. If beaches, pools, excellent breakfast, and reliable service are priorities, Angsana Corfu promises an elegant yet relaxed base on Corfu island.

A heated 25-metre indoor pool is available year-round; close by is a dedicated children’s pool linked to the Rangers’ Kids Club.

The fitness club is kitted out with modern cardio and strength machines, group classes, a panoramic yoga deck, and personal trainers. Opening hours and daily programme vary by season.

Service & Staff

Greek Hospitality

Hospitality here is genuine: attentive, friendly, and well-coordinated—from the pool and beach team to housekeeping and restaurant service. For high season visits, booking restaurants and spa appointments in advance is recommended.

Reception & Concierge (Languages)

The reception is staffed 24/7, and concierge is happy to help with transfers, car hire, restaurant and activity bookings. Greek and English are spoken; additional languages may vary by team member.

Sustainability

The resort holds the international Green Key eco-label and is involved in the ‘Stay for Good’ initiative—promoting conscious travel, local partnerships, and education (e.g., upcycling workshops for children). Sustainable routines, local suppliers, and careful garden management are all core principles.

As a travel analyst, I was impressed by the attention to detail: spacious rooms, immaculate cleanliness, truly enjoyable pool and beach experiences, and honest, straightforward food. If you want to experience Corfu in style, this is the place—especially from spring to autumn.
