All rooms feature a private balcony, air conditioning, satellite TV, WiFi, 24-hour room service, tea/coffee making facilities and in-room safe, with a mini bar available on request (at an additional charge). With such a wealth of different accommodation styles, it’s best to give us a call so we can talk you through the various options.

Some of the extravagant villas and palazzos have their own jetty from which you can dive straight into the sea, and offer up to six bedrooms.
RESTAURANTS & BARS: There are six different restaurants to choose from, spanning cuisines from around the world. Mon Repos is the main buffet restaurant, while Aristos offers French fine dining, the Trattoria & Wine Bar focuses on Italian favourites, and the al fresco Yali Seafood restaurant sits on a deck above the water. Merlin’s Bar Restaurant offers something a little bit different, with an innovative Asian-Latin American fusion menu, while the Gelateria is the place to find sweet treats. There are ample opportunities to enjoy a cold drink, including the shady Odysseus Cocktail Terrace by the pool. The resort is also home to the unique Danilia Village, an artfully created replica of a traditional Corfiot village, where you can enjoy traditional Greek cuisine using fresh and seasonal organic ingredients.
