For guaranteed warmth - though occasional thunderstorms - from early spring until late September, plenty of beaches and direct flights from most regional airports, Corfu is hard to beat as a family holiday destination. Our guide to the best family hotels on Corfu will help you select the perfect destination and one that will suit all ages.
As one of the first islands to be developed for tourism, its visitors are well catered-for, from high-end luxury hotels to self-catering apartments. Admittedly, parts can feel over-developed, but there are more than enough beaches to go round. Plus many hotels are geared up with children’s clubs, children-only pools, evening entertainment and spas, so often there is little need to fight the crowds in the more touristy spots.
Having said that, it’s well worth venturing into Corfu Town to admire its Venetian-style architecture and pass the time of day in the cafes on the Esplanade, while Kassiopi, on the north-eastern coast, has a delightful harbour as well as charming shops, tavernas and pretty coves. The popular family beaches are around Ipsos and Dassia, north of Corfu town, while the best sandy beaches are on the west or south-western coasts.
It’s a popular island, particularly during school holidays, so make sure you book well ahead to get the pick of the best family hotels on Corfu.
Families are very well catered-for on the island, whether you want simple and hideaway or all-singing and all-dancing. We’ve carefully researched the range to pick out some of the best family hotels on Corfu.
