If you’ve dreamed of a luxurious Greek escape without the hustle and bustle of cruise ships or tourist traps, you’re in luck! Conrad Corfu is slated to open in the summer of 2026 on the island’s southern coast, featuring 136 rooms, suites, and villas, over 650 feet of beachfront, and indoor and outdoor heated pools. Highlights also include a signature Aqua Piazza lagoon, lush landscaped gardens, three restaurants, two bars, a full-service wellness center, a kids club, and an open-air cinema.

Set along a secluded beachfront, Conrad Corfu blends modern elegance with the island’s natural charm, creating an intimate escape devoted to privacy, wellness, and discovery. A clear concept, brought to life through thoughtfully curated experiences, guides the resort. It is a coastal haven that celebrates Corfu and honors Conrad’s pillars—bold design, purposeful service, impactful experiences, and culinary mastery.

From arrival through to the sea, the master plan preserves open sightlines. Anchoring it all, the expansive Aqua Piazza lagoon serves as a calm social threshold between architecture and shoreline.

The resort’s atmosphere is relaxed and luxurious, but there’s plenty of opportunity for exploration. The island’s UNESCO-listed Old Town sits about an hour’s drive away, its character quaint with small harbors, olive groves, and neighborhood hospitality. Close by, the Achilleion Palace is a Belle Époque marvel, with neoclassical terraces, statue-lined gardens, and sweeping Ionian views.

Guest accommodations are spacious, beginning at around 375 square feet, with many categories offering private heated pools, jacuzzis, or access to the Aqua Piazza. With a strong focus on cultural programming, guests can expect guided local walks, culinary workshops, and outdoor cinema, among other activities. Conrad Corfu, managed by Numo Hotels and owned by the Troulis family, extends the company’s design-led track record in Greece to the Ionian.

“With Conrad Corfu, we are thrilled to be collaborating once again with Hilton, while we continue our approach of building strong concepts around each place and its people,” says Spyros Kouris, managing director and partner at Numo Hotels & Resorts. “Following Crete and Mykonos, Corfu becomes our next chapter—an alliance of Greek creatives and partners to shape a unique resort that honors its majestic setting.”

Design That Honors Corfu’s Past with a Nod to the Future

The existing 1986 building, a bold U-plan with arcaded façades, has been reworked to preserve its cadence of arches while opening the ground plane to the shoreline.

Arrival sets the tone: a limestone-floored hall that doubles as a gallery for contemporary Greek art; a glass-roofed atrium introduces daylight and a sense of Corfu’s open squares. The path forward is deliberate: a Palladiana-style marble walkway descending a colonnade towards water. Architecture and exteriors are by Cube Concept (Lead Architects Aria Lironi and Charis Markodimitrakis; Managing Director Nikos Gryllos). Interiors are by Hotel IM (Ioanna Mitropoulou) with Place in Space Architects (Marianthi Tsomlektsi and Simos Antoniadis).

At the center sits the Aqua Piazza, a reflective lagoon for gathering rather than swimming; beyond it, an outdoor heated pool, a heated indoor pool, a long beach frontage, and specialty restaurants and bars.

In rooms, suites, and villas, a grounded palette of terracotta, stone, and layered greens is punctuated by bespoke travertine screens above the minibars and carefully scaled statement lighting. Among the resort’s highlights is the flagship four-bedroom, 3,000-square-foot villa, an ode to elegance and privacy with a custom-designed outdoor terrace.

Dining spaces extend that material language: the main restaurant carries Thebes-yellow and white marble references with warm timber and planting; the central bar pairs a stone floor with a fluted tiled counter and travertine top, while woven tapestries nod to 1960s and ’70s patterns.

The spa draws on bathhouse geometry, including travertine, handmade zellige, and linen drapery, with a vitality pool, an infrared sauna, and a snow shower, plus ONAR and Swissline skin treatments.

The kids club, designed by Cube Concept and operated in collaboration with the renowned Worldwide Kids, takes the form of a treehouse-like micro-village among olive and eucalyptus trees. Its interiors use a thoughtful color framework aligned to different age groups.

A Love Letter to Greece’s Creatives

At the very heart of Conrad Corfu’s concept is a deep focus on collaboration with Greek talent across gastronomy, design, and the arts. The signature fine-dining restaurant will feature a menu by Michelin-starred chef Alexandros (Alex) Tsiotinis (CTC, Athens), whose cooking translates Greek references with modern technique. The wider F&B mix includes an all-day restaurant influenced by Corfiot tradition, a restaurant by the sea, and two bars—a beachfront cocktail bar and an indoor lounge—supported by a strong Greek and Mediterranean wine list.

The property-wide art program, “Anasynthesis,” curated by Nikos Paleologos / Saint of Athens, is built on commissioned works by leading Greek artists. Kostis Velonis, H.O.P.E., Gerasimos Hatzis, Fikos, Filippos Theodorides, Magneto, Paolo Incarnato, Natalia Manta, and others place the resort in dialogue with Corfu’s layered histories. Fashion and spatial design extend to the flagship four-bedroom villa terrace and pool textiles through a collaboration with acclaimed fashion designer Sophie Deloudi.

Wellness programming includes yoga, Pilates, and TRX—offered indoors and out—plus a fully equipped gym. Spa rituals are inspired by local botanicals. Beyond the resort, the team connects guests with Corfu’s town and village life via small-group walks, culinary workshops, and gallery visits, positioning the hotel as both host and connector. The through-line is deliberate: Greek creatives collaborating to deliver a resort that upholds Conrad standards and celebrates Corfu’s unique character.

Spanning five continents with more than forty properties, Conrad Hotels & Resorts creates a seamless connection between bold design, impactful experiences, and curated contemporary art to inspire the conscientious luxury traveler. True to its founding vision, each Conrad hotel is renowned for its purposeful service that is refreshingly genuine, as well as its distinctive ability to authentically connect globally minded travelers with local cultures. The Conrad brand was established in 1982 by Barron Hilton and named after his father, Hilton’s founder, Conrad Hilton, who believed that meaningful hospitality has the power to transform personal journeys and make a positive impact, now and forever. In addition to its award-winning properties, the brand also features an expanding residential portfolio combining sophisticated design, best-in-class amenities, and purposeful service in inspiring destinations.

The resort will be managed by Numo Hotels & Resorts, a Greece-based hospitality company curating design-forward, locally rooted stays across Crete, Mykonos, and Corfu.
