Hotel of the Month: Conrad Corfu – A New Ionian Escape

Conrad Corfu opens in May 2026, bringing a new kind of glamour to one of Greece’s most seductive islands. Set on the pristine shore, surrounded by gardens and serene water features, this new resort combines refined luxury with the sort of laid-back ease that helps you switch off in style.

The design draws on Corfu’s palatial past and its 1960s golden age, when the island was a magnet for royalty, artists and Hollywood stars. That influence comes through in grand colonnades, symmetrical façades and lush courtyards, but the overall effect is not overly formal. Instead, it feels as though old-world elegance has been reworked for modern holiday living, with plenty of light and space.

The setting plays a central role in that feeling. A secluded sandy beach, lined with sunbeds and cabanas, creates an immediate sense of escape, while several pools offer quieter alternatives throughout the day. Beyond the resort, guests can also explore the cobblestone streets of Old Town Corfu and the palace gardens of The Achilleion.

Accommodation is varied and thoughtfully configured across 136 rooms, suites and villas, each designed with its own water element. Many feature private pools or jacuzzis, while options such as loft-style suites with views across the resort add an extra layer of privacy and comfort.

Dining brings together a host of enticing options. Here you will find a trio of restaurants shaped by Mediterranean flavours, Greek warmth and Italian finesse, all-day dining that draws on Ionian tradition with a more contemporary touch and a seaside setting that moves from easy daytime lunches to a more elegant, seafood-led mood after dark. Elsewhere, two bars take guests from laid-back coffees through to sunset cocktails.

A spa, sauna and hammam, a fitness zone, outdoor cinema, tennis courts, padel courts and a dedicated children’s club in partnership with Worldwide Kids all contribute to a resort that feels complete, yet still calm.
