Set across its own private peninsula in Kommeno, Corfu Imperial is defined by its wraparound coastline, where the sea is never out of view and the sense of space feels immediate and uninterrupted.

The layout unfolds gradually across terraced gardens and mature landscaping, with olive groves, palms and cypress creating a natural framework around the resort. Rather than a single focal building, the property is spread across a series of levels that lead down towards four distinct sandy coves, with pathways connecting beaches, dining areas and quieter corners along the way. This layered arrangement gives the hotel a strong sense of depth, while the positioning of each space — often slightly removed from the next — creates a more private, estate-like atmosphere that feels considered rather than expansive for its own sake.

Staying

Accommodation is varied and spread throughout the grounds, ranging from rooms in the main building to garden bungalows and a wide collection of villas set along the water’s edge. Many options open onto terraces or balconies with sea views, while the higher-category villas and waterfront residences introduce a more residential feel, often with private pools and direct access to the shoreline. These options make the most of the setting, offering a greater sense of seclusion without losing connection to the wider resort.

Dining is one of the defining elements of the stay, with multiple venues offering a clear sense of choice across different settings. Aristos delivers a more refined experience, while Mon Repos provides a broader Mediterranean approach. Yali Seafood stands out for its position directly above the water, Trattoria & Wine Bar brings a more relaxed Italian influence, and Merlin’s adds a more contemporary edge. The variety is complemented by bars and terraces that transition naturally from daytime into evening, keeping the overall experience fluid rather than segmented.

Experience

Days tend to revolve around the coastline, with the option to move between beaches, pools and quieter garden spaces without ever feeling confined to one area. The scale allows for a more flexible rhythm, whether that means spending time on the water, exploring the different coves or simply settling into one part of the peninsula for the day. Despite its size, the layout ensures it rarely feels crowded.

Wellness

The spa and wellness offering is integrated into the wider setting, with treatment areas, indoor and outdoor pools and fitness facilities providing a quieter counterpoint to the beachfront focus. It adds depth to the experience without shifting attention away from the natural surroundings.

Where

Located around 12 km from Corfu Town, with a regular shuttle service, the resort offers straightforward access to the island’s historic centre while maintaining a strong sense of separation once back on the peninsula.
