Luxury made easy: A closer look at Grecotel LUXME Costa Botanica

29 December 2025

All-inclusive doesn’t have to mean predictable, and Grecotel LUXME Costa Botanica is proof of that. Sitting on Corfu’s northern coast, this resort is designed for guests who want everything taken care of without losing personality or choice. Part of Grecotel’s LUXME collection, short for Luxury Made Easy, it blends high-end dining, thoughtful design, and family-friendly experiences into one seamless stay. The idea is simple: remove the hassle, keep the quality, and let your holiday unfold at your own pace.

Luxury made easy: A closer look at Grecotel LUXME Costa Botanica

A resort that feels like its own little world

Covering hundreds of thousands of square metres, Costa Botanica is laid out like a relaxed seaside village rather than a single hotel complex. Low-rise country houses and summer residences are arranged around gardens, canals, and walkways, with four outdoor freshwater pools dotted throughout. A one-kilometre sandy beach runs alongside the resort, with sun loungers, shallow bays, and walking paths that lead to quieter natural areas, perfect for guests who like to explore rather than stay put.

Dining that goes well beyond the basics

Food plays a big role in the LUXME experience, and here it’s anything but an afterthought. Guests can move between multiple à la carte restaurants throughout their stay, with menus ranging from refined fine dining to comforting Italian dishes and bold Asian-inspired flavours. There’s also a generous main restaurant, a dedicated wine spot, and tempting extras like a chocolate bar and beachside creperie. Premium wines, cocktails, and desserts are all included, making each meal feel intentional rather than routine.

Activities for every energy level

Whether your idea of a good holiday involves staying active or slowing everything down, Costa Botanica gives you options. The resort features a newly upgraded spa and a high-spec indoor gym complete with Technogym equipment and a boxing ring. Outdoors, there’s tennis, Padel, cycling routes, water sports, and plenty of organised activities for children, including creative and nature-based experiences. And then there’s the Aqua Park, a major highlight for families, with slides and splash zones that easily fill entire afternoons.

Comfortable stays with a relaxed feel

Accommodation is split between country-style houses arranged in small neighbourhoods and summer residences set around the main pool area. Both options focus on space, comfort, and a low-key aesthetic rather than over-the-top luxury. With kids staying free up to age 12 and family-friendly layouts throughout, it’s easy to settle in and feel at home.

For guests who like their holidays easy but still want quality, variety, and a bit of personality, Rixos delivers a refreshing take on the all-inclusive concept. In the UAE, two standout properties show just how different that experience can be. Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island leans into polished beachfront living with a strong focus on food, wellbeing, and family-friendly design, while Rixos Al Mairid Ras Al Khaimah offers a more expansive, activity-led escape with space to spread out and a packed entertainment calendar. Choosing between them really comes down to how you like to holiday.
