NEWS: Conrad Corfu to Open in 2026

Set to open on Corfu’s southern coast, Conrad Corfu is set to include 136 rooms, suites and villas to offer guests a relaxing stay on the island.

Enhancing visits to the resort, there will also be a 200-metre beachfront and indoor and outdoor heated pools. Highlights also include a signature Aqua Piazza lagoon, lush landscaped gardens, three restaurants, two bars, a full-service wellness center, a kids club and an open-air cinema. It is being managed by Numo Hotels & Resorts.

In terms of design, the existing 1986 building, a U-plan with arcaded façades, has been reworked to preserve its cadence of arches while opening the ground plane to the shoreline. It will blend modern elegance with the island’s charm to offer an escape for wellness and privacy.

From arrival through to the sea, the masterplan preserves open sightlines. Anchoring it all, the expansive Aqua Piazza lagoon which is a reflective for gathering rather than swimming; beyond it, an outdoor heated pool, a heated indoor pool, and a long beach frontage and speciality restaurants and bars. The island’s UNESCO-listed Old Town sits about an hour’s drive away, yet the character here is firmly southern with small harbours, olive groves, and neighbourhood rhythms. Close by, the Achilleion Palace is a Belle Époque marvel, with neoclassical terraces, statue-lined gardens, and sweeping Ionian views.

Meanwhile, the guest accommodation offers many categories including private heated pools, jacuzzis, or access to the Aqua Piazza. With a strong focus on cultural programming, guests can expect guided local walks, culinary workshops, and outdoor cinema, among other activities. 

In rooms, suites, and villas a grounded palette of terracotta, stone, and layered greens is punctuated by bespoke travertine screens above the minibars and carefully scaled statement lighting.

Elsewhere, the main restaurant carries Thebes-yellow and white marble references with warm timber and planting; the central bar pairs a stone floor with a fluted tiled counter and travertine top, while woven tapestries nod to 1960s and 1970s patterns.

The spa is influenced by bathhouse geometry – travertine, handmade zellige, linen drapery – with vitality pool, infrared sauna, and snow shower, plus ONAR and Swissline skin-wellness treatments. The kids club, designed by Cube Concept and operated in collaboration with the renowned Worldwide Kids, takes shape as a treehouse-like micro-village among olive trees and eucalyptus; interiors use a thoughtful colour framework aligned to age groups.

Meanwhile, the resort’s wellness programme is set to include: yoga, Pilates, and TRX – offered indoors and out – plus a fully equipped gym. Spa rituals are inspired by local botanicals. Beyond the resort, the team connects guests with Corfu Town and village life via small-group walks, culinary workshops, and gallery visits.
