 Avali, Mar-Bella Collection 

Corfu’s cool beach retreat

Swap schedules for sunsets at this chic, sea-facing retreat overlooking the Ionian.

Tucked away on Corfu's southeast coast, this boutique-style beachfront retreat is designed for carefree days spent by the water and unhurried evenings beneath the stars. With just 76 rooms and suites, it feels refreshingly intimate, while the infinity pool, private beach and Ionian Sea views create an effortless sense of escape. Expect fresh Mediterranean dining, complimentary adventures on the water and plenty of opportunities to switch off, whether that's with a beachfront massage, a sunset cocktail or a leisurely dinner overlooking the sea. Small in size but big on style, Avali is the kind of place you'll find difficult to leave.

Why we love Avali, Mar-Bella Collection

  • Avali’s boutique size is a real advantage. With just 76 rooms and suites, it has a more relaxed and exclusive feel than many of the island’s larger resorts

  • Make the most of the Dine Around programme. A stay at Avali unlocks access to some of the Mar-Bella Collection's most sought-after restaurant tables, so don't settle for the same dining scene every night

  • For the best sunset views, head to Cicada Pool Bar before dinner. With a cocktail in hand and the Ionian stretching out ahead, it's easy to lose track of time

  • Upgrade to a private-pool suite, the extra outdoor space and added privacy make it feel like your own corner of Corfu

Menus celebrate Mediterranean flavours with a few international favourites. Whether you’re grazing on healthy poolside snacks, feasting on buffets or settling in for a starlit dinner fresh from the grill. And when you fancy mixing things up, the dine around programme opens the door to even more culinary adventures.

Zardini 
The social heart of the hotel. Mornings start with generous breakfast spreads, while evenings bring live cooking stations, themed nights and plenty of Mediterranean favourites.

Stià Grill 
Pull up a chair beneath the stars and tuck into freshly grilled seafood, prime cuts and flavour-packed vegetarian dishes.

Lobby Bar 
An easy-going spot for everything from an afternoon iced coffee to a perfectly mixed pre-dinner cocktail.

Cicada Pool Bar 
During the day, the healthy corner with fresh smoothies, colourful salads and light bites makes this a go-to stop between pool dips and beach sessions. By night, there's cocktails, sea views and a golden-hour atmosphere that will have you ordering just one more.

What's Included

Premium All Inclusive • Breakfast, lunch and dinner at Zardini • Three à la carte dinners per week's stay • Dine around programme at MarBella or Nido • Poolside treats twice a day • Branded drinks, cocktails and 60 wine labels • Unlimited ice creams and snacks • 30-minute complimentary use of a canoe, pedalo or stand up paddleboard per person per day (subject to availability) • Complimentary wellness weeks with Oyogo

Start the day with an outdoor workout overlooking the Ionian Sea, join one of the Oyogo fitness weeks, or surrender to holiday mode with a massage at the beachfront spa kiosk. Private beach cabanas and a peaceful seafront setting make slowing down wonderfully easy.

Days can be as active or as laid-back as you like, from complimentary boat trips along Corfu's southern coastline and outdoor fitness sessions to live music, beachside BBQs and open-air cinema nights under the stars (cinema nights once a week on a Thursday).

With a private bay and crystal-clear waters, Avali makes it easy to spend more time on the water than beside it. Swap your sun lounger for stand-up paddleboards, canoes and kayaks and explore the bay.

The beauty of Avali is that you get the best of both worlds. Its relaxed, boutique atmosphere appeals to parents looking to unwind, while children aged six and over can enjoy the kids' club and water park at sister property MarBella, just a short stroll away.

The resort welcomes guests over the age of 6.
