Kanoni, Greece
Divani Corfu Palace: Hillside sanctuary in Kanoni pine groves overlooking Mouse Island with Amvrosia dining and lagoon pool
Perched on the verdant hillside of the historic Kanoni peninsula surrounded by ancient pine and cypress forests in Corfu, Greece (overlooking the shimmering waters of the lagoon and iconic Mouse Island / Pontikonisi), Divani Corfu Palace opened as a serene Ionian island haven. The 162-room luxury retreat is located just 3 kilometres from UNESCO World Heritage-listed Corfu Old Town. Featuring the acclaimed restaurant Amvrosia, the breezy poolside Blue Pool Bar, a massive Olympic-sized freshwater lagoon swimming pool with jacuzzi, and a modern wellness center, this property is Corfu’s premier hillside luxury resort.
Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Ionian island warmth and green serenity: personal hosts greet guests in the light-filled marble lobby beside floor-to-ceiling garden windows with chilled Kumquat liqueur spritzes, cold scented towels, and dedicated private check-in. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Corfu cultural, beach, and historical pursuits: exploring the Venetian fortresses and narrow cantounia alleys of UNESCO Corfu Old Town (5 minutes away), visiting the historic Mon Repos Palace (birthplace of Prince Philip, 3 minutes away), walking to the famous Vlacherna Monastery and taking a boat to Mouse Island (steps away), swimming in the massive lagoon pool surrounded by cypress trees, indulging in olive oil therapies at the wellness center, enjoying sunset cocktails by the pool, and reserving dinner at Amvrosia.
Resort living balances island cultural discovery with peaceful hillside wellness: the wellness facilities feature private treatment rooms, sauna, the Olympic-sized pool with jacuzzi, and therapies utilizing organic Corfiot olive oils, kumquat, and Mediterranean botanicals. Dining is a celebrated Ionian culinary summit: authentic Greek and Corfiot gastronomy at Amvrosia (featuring sofrito beef, pastitsada veal, fresh caught sea bass, and Greek Grand Crus), casual al fresco dining by the pool, and sunset cocktails at the Lounge Bar.
Accommodations comprise 162 rooms and luxury suites decorated in soft Mediterranean earth tones and natural wood ranging from 28 to 65 square metres. Each residence features private furnished balconies overlooking the lagoon, Mouse Island, or pine gardens, plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs and custom Greek amenities.
Island purists, history lovers, and luxury travelers seeking Kanoni tranquility, Olympic lagoon pool swimming, and Corfu Old Town proximity in Greece should book Divani Corfu Palace without hesitation. Travelers seeking noisy all-inclusive strip party resorts should look elsewhere. Grounded review consensus confirms legendary standing with a 4.6 out of 5 on Tripadvisor across 2,400 reviews and a 4.5 out of 5 on Google across 2,900 reviews.
