Conrad Corfu: The Ultimate Ionian Escape Opening Q2 2026

Slated to open on the island’s southern coast, Conrad Corfu will feature 136 rooms, suites and villas, a 200-metre 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. The resort will be managed by Numo Hotels & Resorts.

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 masterplan preserves open sightlines. Anchoring it all, the expansive Aqua Piazza lagoon serves as a calm social threshold between architecture and shoreline. Here, the pace is unhurried. The island’s UNESCO-listed Old Town sits about an hour’s drive away, yet the character here is firmly southern with small harbors, olive groves, and neighborhood rhythms. Close by, the Achilleion Palace is a Belle Époque marvel, with neoclassical terraces, statue-lined gardens, and sweeping Ionian views.

Guest accommodation begins at 35 m², 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 while the asset belongs to the Troulis family, extends the company's design-led track record in Greece (Crete; Mykonos) 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 & Partner, 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 honours 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 leading down 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 centre sits the Aqua Piazza, a reflective lagoon for gathering rather than swimming; beyond it, an outdoor heated pool, a heated indoor pool, and a long beach frontage and speciality 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, 280m² 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 1970s patterns.

The spa draws from bathhouse geometry – travertine, handmade zellige, linen drapery – with vitality pool, infrared sauna, and snow shower, plus ONAR and Swissline skin-wellness treatments. The kids club, designed by Cube Concept and operated in collaboration with the renowned Worldwide Kids, takes shape as a treehouse-like micro-village among olive trees and eucalyptus; interiors use a thoughtful colour framework aligned to 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, plus 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 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.
