Overview & Hotel Highlights
Set on the tip of the exclusive Kommeno peninsula, Corfu Imperial is one of the island’s most prestigious addresses. Surrounded by the Ionian Sea, the resort offers an atmosphere of understated European elegance—featuring four Blue Flag coves, spacious pools, award-winning dining, and a carefully designed spa. For 2025, additional villa and suite options are being introduced, together with a flexible half board concept. Both high-expectation couples and discerning families will feel at home here among the extensive facilities.
First Impressions & Architecture
The approach sets the tone: olive groves, palm trees, and marble details frame breathtaking views over the bay towards Corfu Town. Italian-inspired elegance blends seamlessly with Greek simplicity—think wide terraces, graceful arcades, and lush gardens. Meandering pathways lead from the main building to hidden coves, with restaurants, bars and boutiques lining the walk. Plenty of glass and light-toned stone lend a bright, airy ambiance, ensuring sea vistas are never far away.
Cleanliness & Condition
Impeccable housekeeping stands out: rooms and suites are cleaned thoroughly daily, with turn-down service included for higher categories. Public spaces—from lobby marble to the wooden jetties—are kept in pristine condition. Beaches are manicured each morning, sun loungers and parasols are top quality, and beach towels are generously included. Tiles and water around the pools are all superbly kept, contributing to a sense of wellbeing and undisturbed relaxation.
Value for Money
Corfu Imperial operates at the luxury end, but offers a truly special experience in return: the unique location, culinary excellence, a wide selection of rooms, bungalows, and villas—not to mention a breadth of services including a complimentary shuttle to Corfu Town. The Dine Club half-board programme allows you to alternate between buffet and à la carte (including at sister Grecotel hotels on the peninsula)—making it easy to plan a luxurious stay without the typical constraints of all-inclusive packages. If you’re seeking an exceptional mix of location, serenity and gastronomy, this is an exceptionally appealing choice.
Beaches & Pools
Four tranquil sandy coves and several small bathing spots with crystal clear water are at the heart of the resort. The peninsula setting ensures a peaceful atmosphere, with each cove offering unique light and wind conditions. There’s a main pool, a serene infinity pool, and a private pool area at Il Boschetto—so it’s easy to find your ideal spot. The Elixir Spa also includes an elegant (seasonally heated) indoor pool for maximum relaxation. For water enthusiasts, there’s SUP, kayaking, an on-site diving centre, and watersports galore.
Dining & Culinary Quality
The culinary offering impresses with variety and stunning settings: the buffet restaurant serves abundant Mediterranean and international choices with live cooking each morning and evening. À la carte options include an overwater seafood restaurant and a French-inspired tasting venue for special occasions. There’s also an Italian trattoria & wine bar, plus an adults-only fusion concept. Bars serve signature cocktails and Champagne by the glass, and the wine list highlights Greek gems alongside international favourites. Vegan, vegetarian, and children’s menus are naturally catered for.
Rooms, Suites & Villas
Approximately 300 accommodations—ranging from bright doubles and garden bungalows to waterfront suites and private pool villas—caters for every need. The style is fresh and light, with luxurious fabrics, mirrored accents, and marble bathrooms. Many rooms offer direct sea views; waterfront categories are quite literally on the beach. High-end beds, a pillow menu, Nespresso (in many rooms), and large balconies or terraces enhance the sense of comfort.
Families, Activities & Atmosphere
Families appreciate the Grecoland Kids Club (4–12 years), babysitting on request, shallow shorelines, and flexible family suites. Active guests enjoy tennis, pilates, watersports, and guided excursions. Evenings offer live music and relaxing lounges—while the sprawling resort layout spreads guests across the grounds, maintaining a peaceful vibe.
Summary: Corfu Imperial is tailor-made for couples and families seeking luxury accommodation in a spectacular waterfront setting, with first-class cuisine, tranquil beaches, and reliable service. If you’re after lively nightlife and party vibes, look elsewhere on Corfu—this is the dream destination for rest and indulgence.
