Dive into barefoot luxury at the brand-new Avali by Mar-Bella Collection

Located along the serene beachfront of Agios Ioannis Peristeron on Corfu’s southeast shore, Avali offers an intimate yet breathtaking escape. Just a short 30-minute drive from the airport and minutes from the UNESCO-listed Corfu Old Town, this 76-room gem—part of the prestigious Mar-Bella Collection—sets the stage for tranquil barefoot luxury. Picture three acres of lush gardens, a secluded 300-metre sandy-pebbled beach lapped by the sparkling waters of the Ionian Sea, and the majestic Corfiot hills as your backdrop. Close to the  beloved MarBella and Nido properties, Avali beautifully extends the Mar-Bella Collection coastline.

Activities for all

Start your day with sunrise yoga on the outdoor deck, unwind at the spa kiosk by the beach, or challenge yourself with canoeing. Wellness enthusiasts will love the complimentary pop-up Wellness Weeks by Oyogo, while thrill-seekers can take advantage of motorised and non-motorised water sports, hiking trails, or boat trips to uncover Corfu’s captivating marine life. Prefer relaxation? Sink into the infinity pool surrounded by cabanas, sip on refreshing poolside treats, and indulge in alfresco cinema nights, live music, or private beachfront dining for an extra touch of romance.   

Family friendly luxuries

Families are just as welcome, with children over six years of age able to enjoy the kids’ club or the thrilling water park at the nearby Anemelia Waterpark at MarBella, making memories they’ll treasure forever. And for foodies, Avali is a culinary wonderland, showcasing everything from Mediterranean delights at the Zardini MediterAsian restaurant to grilled specialties at Stia restaurant, all-day snacking from the food truck, and refreshing cocktails at the Cicada pool bar. The Premium All-Inclusive programme ensures exquisite dining options, as well as the chance to explore through the exclusive ‘Dine Around' experience at neighbouring sister hotels MarBella and Nido offering five a la carte options and two buffets.
