Guide to Luxury Holidays in Corfu
A destination of captivating contrasts, Corfu's lavish green landscapes provides an idyllic backdrop to quiet beaches and calm waters. On luxury holidays in Corfu, a boutique hotel or private villa is the perfect base to explore the island's stunning scenery, unspoilt coastlines, historic fortresses, and quaint villages.
The lushest of the Greek islands could arguably be the loveliest, as Corfu's aesthetic appeal is arresting both inland and by the sea. It's emerald mountains are awash with olive groves, orange orchards, and cypress trees, which provide the perfect backdrop to pink-tinted towns, turquoise waters, and white sand beaches.
For the ultimate in sequestered sun-worshipping, head to the cliffs and coves of Paleokastritsa, where magical sunsets can be enjoyed from the comfort of a secluded shore. The nearby Colovri islet is also a prime spot for scuba diving thanks to the scenic canyons and sea caves where nudibranchs, barracudas, and groupers dwell.
Corfu Old Town, a UNESCO-listed heritage site, is a historical and cultural melting pot of Venetian, French, and British influences. By day, spend your time seeing its main highlights, such as the Neo Frourio (New Fortress) and Church of Saint Spiridon. When the sun goes down, explore its pedestrian-only streets in search of rustic tavernas that serve delicious Greek cuisine.
Corfu benefits from a temperate climate and enjoys warm, dry days from June to September. The island's average temperature in the peak of summer is 25 degrees, with the humidity kept in check by cool sea breezes. The ocean begins to warm up in May and remains pleasant for swimming as late as mid-October.
If you want to spend your days hiking through the Corfu countryside, consider visiting in spring or autumn for glorious sunshine and comfortable temperatures.
Passports should be valid for the duration of your stay, with no additional period of validity required. British passport holders can visit for up to 3 months without a visa. Capital controls may be in place. Check GOV.UK before you go for up-to-date information.
With all those olive groves and orange orchards, it’s no surprise Corfu makes the most of the finest local ingredients. Family-friendly resorts will offer traditional dishes, as well as international cuisine, and fine-dining options to suit all ages and tastes.
Italy is one of the biggest foreign influences in Corfu, with most restaurants serving evergreen favourites such as risotto and pizza. Whilst the old town boasts a number of excellent restaurants, many resorts house their own equally impressive versions, which often come with arresting ocean views.
