Angsana Corfu Resort and Spa is a beachfront resort on the coast south of Corfu Town, in the area around the Achilleion Palace and about five miles from the old town. Guests give it a very high score, around 9.4 out of 10 from more than three hundred reviews. The details available describe private beach access, a spa, private pools, restaurants with ocean views and champagne service, so it is clearly aimed at a romantic, high-end stay. It is a five-class property, so expect resort pricing, and it makes sense as a base if you want a quiet stretch of coast away from the old town, with a car or taxi for day trips. The location also puts the Achilleion, Kanoni and the south of the island within easy reach. Because beach resorts on Corfu often close in winter, check that it is open on your dates.
Location and getting around
The resort is about five miles from the old town, so you will use taxis or a hire car for sightseeing. The south coast route is useful for visitors who want to explore Gastouri, the Achilleion and the villages along the way. Ask the hotel about transfers from the airport and about the typical taxi cost into town, because the distance can add up if you go in every evening.
The facilities
Private beach access, a spa, private pools, restaurants with views of the sea and champagne service are mentioned. As with other beachfront resorts, many of these are seasonal, and in November you should not assume the beach club or pools are available. Check the room categories if a private pool matters, and read the dining options if you plan to eat on site every evening. The hotel's style is contemporary and focused on wellness and couples.
Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and travellers who want a spa and sea views and plan to use the hotel as a destination. It is less suited to those who want to be in the centre of the old town, or who travel on a tight budget. Pair a stay here with a visit to the Achilleion Palace, and consider a private yacht cruise in season.
If you want a more affordable base for a winter stay, look at the old town hotels, which offer better value and a lively setting when beach resorts are quiet. If you plan to visit the Achilleion Palace from here, check its current access first, since the palace is under restoration, and ask the hotel to help with a taxi for the short drive to Gastouri.
