Avali, Mar-Bella Collection

Avali, Mar-Bella Collection gathers around a secluded bay on Corfu’s south-east coast, with mountains behind it and the Ionian Sea extending beyond a 300-metre beach.

Everything is pleasingly close at hand. The low-rise buildings, freshwater infinity pool, restaurants and gardens are arranged within easy reach of the shoreline, giving the hotel an intimate scale and allowing the sea to remain visible from many of its shared spaces.

Premium all-inclusive dining and a relaxed social programme give Avali a livelier edge without overwhelming its coastal calm. It is designed primarily with adults in mind, welcoming couples, friends and solo travellers alongside families with children aged over six.

Rooms & Suites

The 76 rooms and suites have a clean, contemporary character, shaped by natural tones, uncluttered lines and an emphasis on light. Air conditioning, coffee facilities, a minibar and private bathrooms provide practical comfort, while balconies and terraces create a stronger connection to the surrounding gardens, mountains and sea.

Mountain-facing rooms bring the green interior of Corfu into view, while sea-facing accommodation looks across the bay and Ionian horizon. Rooms with grand balconies provide more outdoor space for reading, sunbathing or lingering over a morning coffee.

Rooftop Deluxe Double Rooms occupy elevated positions within the hotel, giving their private outdoor areas a greater sense of openness. Guests can choose between mountain and front sea views, depending on whether they prefer the island landscape or the water to dominate the outlook.

Panorama Junior Suites introduce more room to settle, with their position designed to make the most of the coastal setting. Selected versions add a private pool, creating a self-contained place to swim and relax away from the main infinity pool.

Further private-pool rooms and junior suites are available at different points around the property. These are particularly appealing for couples who want the convenience and social atmosphere of an all-inclusive hotel alongside more personal outdoor space.

Dining

Zardini Main Restaurant forms the foundation of the dining programme, beginning with a buffet breakfast before serving the wider all-inclusive offering. Mediterranean flavours and an easy indoor-outdoor atmosphere keep meals connected to the climate and coastal setting.

Stiá Grillhouse puts fire and flame at the centre of the experience, giving evenings a more distinctive character through freshly grilled dishes and outdoor dining. Barbecues beneath the stars extend this convivial mood into selected nights.

The Cicada beach truck keeps snacks and chilled drinks close to the sand and pool. It is a useful daytime addition, allowing guests to refuel between swims without turning lunch into a lengthy interruption.

Al fresco terraces create inviting places to dine as the light changes over the bay. Cocktails and refreshments are included within the premium all-inclusive programme, supporting a relaxed flow from an afternoon beside the water to dinner and drinks after sunset.

Live music, DJs and pop-up events occasionally give evenings a more sociable energy. The programme changes through the season, adding variety without requiring guests to plan every night around formal entertainment.

Experience

Avali’s 300-metre beachfront and calm bay form the centre of the daytime experience. The pebbled shore leads into clear Ionian water, with cabanas, loungers and shaded areas providing ample space to settle close to the sea.

The large freshwater infinity pool sits just above the beach, its edge visually merging with the water beyond. Towels, sun loungers and umbrellas are readily available, making it easy to alternate between the pool and bay throughout the day.

Stand-up paddleboards, canoes and kayaks are available from the beachfront watersports centre. The sheltered setting is particularly well suited to gentle exploration, while the surrounding coastline offers more scope for boat trips and time on the water.

Hiking, walking and cycling provide a change of perspective inland. Guests also have access to selected facilities at neighbouring MarBella, broadening the available activities while allowing Avali itself to retain its smaller, more contained atmosphere.

Weekly movie nights bring a relaxed communal moment beside the pool, complete with popcorn and drinks. Beach parties, live performances and barbecue evenings add further variety for guests who enjoy a little more energy after dark.

Wellness

The outdoor spa cabin is positioned beside the beach, allowing treatments to unfold within sound of the sea. Massage and personalised wellness rituals are offered in a private setting with Ionian views, making the location as important as the treatment itself.

Indoor and outdoor fitness spaces provide flexibility for independent workouts. The open-air area is particularly appealing in the cooler parts of the day, when the coastal outlook and sea breeze create a refreshing alternative to a conventional hotel gym.

Yoga, fitness classes and personal training add guided options for guests who prefer more structure. Wellness remains integrated into the wider holiday, easily combined with a morning swim, paddle across the bay or quiet afternoon beneath a cabana.

Where

Avali is located in Agios Ioannis Peristeron on Corfu’s south-eastern coast. Local tavernas and neighbouring Mar-Bella Collection hotels provide additional options nearby, while the position makes a useful base for exploring the eastern side of the island.

Achilleion Palace is approximately 7.7 kilometres away and Pontikonisi around 9.1 kilometres from the hotel. Corfu International Airport is approximately 18 kilometres away, placing the resort within reach of Corfu Town while preserving the enclosed character of its coastal bay.
