Panorama Junior Suite Private Pool at AVALI, Corfu
I was lucky enough to stay at the newly-opened Avali in August 2025 and it blew me away. It’s the fourth hotel in the Mar-Bella Collection, a family-owned Greek hospitality brand which has its heart and soul invested in these properties. The setting is incredibly beautiful, beside Corfu’s Ionian Strait with views across the water to mountains. There’s a gorgeous infinity pool and a boho-style spa and outdoor gym. The pebbly beach has been left in as natural a state as possible with its seagrass and pine cones, and there’s a wood-built water sports station and kayaks at the ready. Best of all for honeymooners are the seven Panorama Junior Suites with private pools – all with that romantic view. Book with Mar-Bella Collection.
