✅ Top 3 pros

Panoramic Seaside Location

Just 20 metres from the water, with an underpass to the hotel’s private beach and large terraces – sea views are always close by. Three pools (including adults-only) provide both variation and relaxation.

Top Culinary Experiences in Premium All-Inclusive

Buffets with live cooking, Mediterranean fish at “Gill & Olive” and creative Peruvian fusion at “Viru” – themed restaurant dining (with reservation) and five bars from lounge to rooftop are included.

Family-Friendly & Stylish

Children’s pool with water features, kids’ club and large family rooms – while couples can enjoy peace at the adults-only pool and the rooftop bar.

❌ 3 cons to be aware of

Pebble Beach instead of Sand

The private beach is pebbly, which means extra clear water but water shoes may be needed – sand lovers, take note.

Hillside Setting & Walkways

The terraced architecture and some stairs are part of the concept. Guests with reduced mobility have access to more accessible rooms, but outdoor routes may still be demanding.

Outside the Town Centre

Corfu Town is about 15 km away; the location is peaceful and immersed in nature. If you want to shop or stroll the city often, take the bus or taxi – or hire a car.

Overview & Hotel Highlights

Valmar Corfu is a brand-new five-star resort on Corfu’s east coast, situated in Agios Ioannis Peristeron. You’ll stay right by the Ionian Sea with a convenient walkway leading straight to the hotel’s private beach – complemented by elegant architecture, premium all-inclusive, three swimming pools, and a stylish spa. Whether you’re travelling as a couple or with the whole family, you’ll find spacious rooms, a variety of cuisine, and plenty of Greek warmth – just a short trip from both Corfu Town and the imperial Achilleion Palace.

Design & Ambiance

Valmar Corfu draws inspiration from Riviera aesthetics – think classic arcades, natural stone and earthy tones tucked into lush hillsides. Generous terraces and tiered architecture create wide sea views – almost everywhere you stand, there’s a view of the water. Indoors, a clean and airy design aesthetic prevails, with high-quality materials throughout. The pace of life is dictated by sun and sea during the day, while evenings are elevated with cocktails on the terrace, lounge vibes at Lido Lounge and stunning sunsets at the rooftop bar.

Cleanliness & Care

This stunning new hotel (opening 2025) sets high standards for cleanliness and hygiene. Rooms are cleaned daily, and linens/towels are changed regularly – or more eco-consciously on request. Shared spaces, pool decks, and restaurants maintain immaculate lines; natural materials and light colours add to the fresh atmosphere. Towel service and sunbed allocation are seamless and hassle-free.

Value & All-Inclusive Benefits

As a premium all-inclusive resort, you can expect a truly comprehensive package: generous breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main restaurant with live cooking, snacks throughout the day, both international and local beverages, plus two themed à la carte restaurants (advance booking required). Sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach, pool towels, free WiFi and a varied activity programme – from yoga to live music – are all included. You know exactly what’s covered in your budget – especially great value in the off-season.

Beach & Pools

The resort sits on a hillside just above the sea, but a short underpass brings you directly to the hotel’s clear pebble beach – ideal for a refreshing swim. Three freshwater pools cascade down the slope: an adults-only relax pool (peaceful with panoramic views), an activity/family pool, and a dedicated kids’ pool with water features. Daybeds and plenty of loungers and umbrellas are never far away. Changing the scene is easy – swap between the seaside, pool, or rooftop bars, all offering their own unique vibe (and unforgettable sunsets).

Food & Drink

The hotel’s cuisine is a true highlight. Valle Main serves generous buffets with a Mediterranean focus and themed evenings – from Greek to Asian fusion – always with fresh, local ingredients. There are also two tempting à la carte options: “Gill & Olive” takes Mediterranean fish and seasonal flavours to new heights, while “Viru” offers Peruvian fusion – think ceviche, tapas and elegant cocktails with rooftop views. A Mano Snackeria delivers tasty poolside bites during the day. Five bars – from lounge to rooftop – ensure you’re never thirsty.

Rooms & Comfort

All 201 rooms and suites are contemporary and relaxing, with comfortable beds, Nespresso machine, Smart TV, walk-in shower, and balcony/terrace. Choose from double, triple and quadruple rooms, as well as family suites; couples may prefer a “Suite made for two” featuring a large bathroom and standalone whirlpool bath. Rooms offer a range of views, from full front sea vistas to the lush hillsides (Inland/Mountain View).

Service & Atmosphere

Expect warm Greek hospitality combined with professional routines: 24-hour reception, friendly staff, a kids’ club (seasonal), and a helpful concierge for car hire, taxis or boat trips. The hillside setting involves steps and levels, but the team is happy to assist – accessible rooms are also available. Evenings bring a true holiday vibe, with live music and laid-back rooftop gatherings – no big crowds, just stylish holiday serenity.

Valmar Corfu 2025 is a dream pick for couples and friends seeking great design, views, and cuisine, but equally perfect for families who value all-inclusive comfort, a kids’ pool, and the club. For serenity, choose a sea view room and the adults-only pool – for the more adventurous, Corfu Town and Achilleion excursions are within easy reach.

After extensive renovation for 2025, the hotel commits to sustainable materials and efficient processes. Linens and towels are changed by “Eco on request”; reusable water bottles, local produce and minimal transport distances all support green thinking. Sun loungers and umbrellas at the beach are included – less single-use, more quality.

As a travel writer, I’m genuinely impressed by how Valmar Corfu combines design, breathtaking views, and fantastic food! My tip: book the Front Sea View, treat yourself to a Mediterranean dinner at "Gill & Olive" and enjoy a sundowner at the Tarazza Rooftop Bar – true holiday vibes.
