The hotel’s elevated location above Apraos Bay gives you sweeping views and a genuinely tranquil atmosphere—brilliant for unwinding on holiday.

Close to the Beach

It’s only 100 metres to the shallow, crystal-clear waters of Kalamaki/Apraos Bay—ideal for gentle swims and scenic strolls by the shore.

Family Feel

Small, personable and friendly—with just 16 rooms, excellent value and welcoming service—perfect for couples or solo guests.

❌ 3 cons to be aware of

Basic Room Standard

Rooms prioritise function over luxury; WiFi is best in communal areas and can be inconsistent in bedrooms depending on location.

Elevated Grounds & Steps

Situated on a hillside, the property features elevation changes and steps—not suitable for those with limited mobility.

Overview & Hotel Highlights

Apraos Bay Hotel is a small, family-run 3-star retreat situated just above the gentle Kalamaki/Apraos Bay in northern Corfu. With the Ionian just moments away and panoramic sea views across the hotel grounds for 2025, it offers a tranquil getaway. The hotel has 16 bright and tidy rooms, a sun-drenched panoramic terrace, and an inviting outdoor pool—promising completely relaxed, low-key holidays. An ideal choice for couples or solo British travellers in search of sea air, a peaceful setting, and authentic Greek charm.

Cosy with Stunning Vistas

With only 16 rooms, Apraos Bay Hotel is intimate and welcoming. Perched above the bay, it provides sweeping views of the sandy Kalamaki/Apraos beach and sparkling Ionian Sea. Olive groves and lush, Venetian-inspired gardens surround the property. Guests can unwind to the sound of the sea and, at sunset, watch the sky transform over the bay.

Clean & Comfortable

The rooms are simple yet fully functional, with en suite bathroom and WC, hairdryer, air conditioning/heating, and a private furnished balcony. The communal areas—including the sun terrace and pool—are carefully maintained. WiFi is complimentary in public spaces; reception in rooms may vary. It’s a pristine, no-nonsense base for guests seeking a straightforward and comfortable stay.

Excellent Value

The hotel feels exceptionally good value, helped by its independent management and small size. Guests benefit from being steps away from the beach, free parking, and the opportunity to enjoy breakfast and evening meals on the sea-view terrace. If you’re willing to forgo hotel spas or evening entertainment for natural beauty, a laid-back atmosphere and walks to the beach, the value here is spot on.

Beach & Pool

Kalamaki/Apraos beach has gently shelving, pristine sands and exceptionally clear, shallow water—brilliant for relaxed swimming and safe for less confident swimmers. The beach is around 100 metres from the hotel, depending on your path. The outdoor pool, with its loungers and parasols, offers a shady, refreshing spot—particularly with the summer breeze. Easily alternate between sea swims and the pool at your leisure.

Food & Breakfast

The terrace overlooking the sea is the hub for relaxed breakfasts in 2025, served Mediterranean-style. Home-cooked Greek specialities are available in the evening, while during the day snacks and drinks can be picked up from the bar. The food is always fresh and inviting—choose from bed & breakfast or half board. For more variety, Kassiopi’s restaurants and bars are just 3km away.

Who is it for?

The focus is on peace and natural beauty—there is no entertainment or loud evening activities, just the family feel, sea, and gardens. Please note: because of steps and the inclined grounds, the hotel isn’t accessible for wheelchair users or those with mobility issues—children are also not permitted, in line with current policy. If uninterrupted rest, a beachside location and exceptional views sound appealing, this could be your perfect fit. A great base for couples, solo travellers, or friends hoping to truly unwind in northern Corfu.

Particularly suited to guests who like peace and quiet, nature, swimming, and having an independent base for island exploration—ideally with a hire car. Less suitable for those looking for luxury, spa facilities or a busy nightlife.

Location & Views Over Apraos Bay

Kalamaki/Apraos Beach – Just 100 Metres to Crystal Clear Water

The hotel is perched just above gently shelving, family-friendly Kalamaki/Apraos Bay in north-east Corfu. The beach is long and sandy with crystal-clear, shallow water—perfect for tranquil swims. It’s a short stroll (roughly 100m, depending on the path) to the seafront. The hotel’s elevated setting means you can feast your eyes on those glorious Ionian views over breakfast every morning.

Transfer & Getting Around

Corfu Airport (CFU) is 38–40 km south and the hotel can arrange transfers at an extra cost. Hiring a car is recommended for British visitors who wish to explore Corfu; complimentary hotel parking is available. Kassiopi, a lively harbour village, is about 3km away—offering boat tours and excursions. There is a bus service to Corfu Town but less frequent than on the main tourist routes.

In the Area & Things To Do

Close by: the Antinioti Lagoon nature reserve (approx. 3.7km), Kassiopi Castle (about 4.5km), and the historic mountain village of Old Perithia (around 7km) at the foot of Mount Pantokrator (approx. 18km). Kassiopi has harbourside tavernas and bars, while Corfu Town—with its lively Venetian old quarter—is about an hour’s drive south, perfect for a day out exploring.

Rooms & Amenities

Room Types & Capacity (16 rooms)

Apraos Bay Hotel has 16 bright twin or double rooms—some can be arranged with an extra bed for a third guest. All are designed for your comfort and relaxation, offering balconies with either garden or sweeping sea views—perfect for sitting back and soaking up the scenery.

Facilities & Comfort

Each room comes equipped with air conditioning/heating, bathroom with shower and WC, hairdryer, telephone, and a furnished balcony. Complimentary WiFi is accessible in communal spaces; coverage in rooms depends on their position within the hotel. Decoration is simple and practical—ideal for those who spend their days by the pool, on the beach, or discovering the island.

Your Choice of View

Almost all rooms let you choose between facing the blue Ionian or the lush gardens. Bay-facing rooms provide uninterrupted sea panoramas, while the garden view rooms guarantee peaceful, leafy mornings.

Food & Drink

Buffet Restaurant & Greek Classics

The hotel’s culinary centrepiece is its terrace with sea views: for 2025, breakfast is served here—fresh, light and Mediterranean, featuring local produce. Evenings bring authentic Greek home cooking—salads, meze and straightforward but delicious traditional mains. The menu is compact but flavourful, making mealtimes a pleasure after a day exploring or at the beach. There is no All Inclusive; guests can choose bed & breakfast or half board.

Bars

The bar/snack bar serves coffee, cold drinks and snacks by day; unwind by the pool in the evening with a drink and those stunning views across the bay. If you’re after a wider choice for eating out, Kassiopi (3km away) has a good selection of tavernas and bars.

Pool & Wellness

Panoramic Pool with Sea View

At the rear of the hotel you’ll find a sunny outdoor pool complete with loungers and parasols. The elevated location often guarantees a cooling breeze—especially welcome in the summer. The pool is open through the main season, typically during the day and into the early evening—ideal for a dip before dinner.

No Spa—Just Nature

There is no traditional spa or gym here; it’s all about relaxation, swimming, and connecting with nature. Stay active with walks along the beach, refreshing swims in the bay, or day trips by foot or car into the beautiful countryside stretching up to Mount Pantokrator.

Service & Staff

Authentic Greek Hospitality

As a family-run hotel, Apraos Bay is known for its warm, personal touch—many guests return year after year. The team are happy to share local tips for restaurants, arrange your transfers, or help with car and boat hire. The boutique size of the hotel means assistance is always close at hand.

Reception & Languages

Staff communicate in German, English, French, Italian, and Spanish, so all your questions about beaches, hikes or local sights can be handled with ease. They’re also happy to organise taxis and transfers if you’d like to explore more of Corfu.

Sustainability

Although there is no official sustainability label, the hotel employs smart green habits—only washing linens when needed, using energy-efficient air conditioning, and recycling where possible. Larger bottles of drinking water are also encouraged to cut down single-use plastic.

My travel take: An honest, straightforward beach hotel with breathtaking views and warm hosts. With a hire car, it’s a perfect and peaceful base for exploring the lush north of Corfu—morning swims in the sea, evenings on the terrace above the bay.
