Avali, Mar-Bella Collection

Avali in Corfu is nestled in a small bay with mountains rising behind it and the sparkling Ionian Sea stretching out in front. At this adults-only boutique beach hotel, everything is just steps away. Simple, as it should be.

Here, lazy days are spent sunbathing, cooling off in the infinity pool, strolling along the beach and enjoying the crystal-clear tranquility of the sea. Guests should definitely try the Mediterranean splendor of the cuisine and all the snacks from the bar, all included. Perhaps they’ll enjoy a massage or work out in the fresh air. Or they’ll go hiking, cycling, paddleboarding or boating to explore the surrounding area and the magic of the sea life.

As the sunset bathes the lush gardens and beach in its glow, it’s time to gather around the barbecue for grilled food, perfectly mixed and chilled drinks and the sound of the cicadas. Or for al fresco dining on the poolside veranda and communing with the stars. The perfect all-inclusive getaway for couples, friends, solo travelers and free-spirited young families with children over 6.

It's also a great base. Guests can easily change the scenery. Head to the mainland for an outdoor adventure at Elix. Or stroll along the beach to the elegant atmosphere of Nido or the family fun of Marbella. There are also local tavernas to explore if guests feel like it. But never leaving the charm of Avali is understandable.
