Imagine waking up to gorgeous sunshine and panoramic views over manicured gardens and the twinkling waters of Benitses Bay – all from the comfort of your elegant hillside suite. Total bliss, right? Well, that’s exactly what you can expect when you visit Corfu’s newest luxury resort, Angsana Corfu.

Part of the world-renowned Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts, this upscale hotel deserves a place in our spotlight. A sanctuary of extraordinary beauty, it effortlessly blends a fusion of Far Eastern elements with local modern art, making it one of the dreamiest places to stay on the island. Perched atop a tree-cloaked hill, Angsana is nearby to the authentic Benitses village, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Town, Old and New Fortresses, and the Palace of Achilleon – a must-visit for history buffs!

One of the things we love most about this resort is that it’s open all year round (yep, you read that correctly) and suitable for both families and couples alike. There are 159 Japanese-inspired rooms and suites, beautifully decorated with personal amenities including geometric orange kimonos and slippers to relax in. There are also 37 private pool villas with 1-4 bedrooms – perfect for large groups, families, or those who fancy lapping up the luxury!

Guests will have access to the postcard-worthy infinity pool and cabana set up (totally instagrammable), an indoor pool, award-winning spa with natural Asian and Mediterranean therapies, a peaceful yoga deck – perfect for those seeking a zen start to the day (although, that’s guaranteed when you wake up at Angsana Corfu) – plus a private stretch of golden sand just a stone’s throw away. Got the kids in tow? There’s a Kids’ Club and dedicated children’s pool, too.

The gastronomic offerings include four signature restaurants, including a fine dining venue under the management of Michelin-star chef Ettore Botrini – plus an alfresco rooftop lounge for a starlit dinner.

Awarded Best Greek Spa Resort and Best Greek New Resort at the Greek Hospitality Awards 2021, Angsana is a superb addition to the island’s existing hotel offerings.

If you want our opinion, this island hot spot won’t be pipped for quite some time…
