Nestled among the enchanting landscapes of Corfu, Dreams Corfu Resort and Spa, a luxurious five-star all-inclusive establishment with a Greek twist, emerges like a tranquil oasis amidst the Ionian Sea's beauty. This year-old haven, which unveiled its splendors in the late July of 2022, exudes an air of serenity and opulence, beckoning travelers to bask in its beauty.
Managed under the capable hands of Hyatt Inclusive Collection's Dreams Resorts & Spas brand, this resort effortlessly intertwines leisure and timeless moments, creating a haven for families and couples alike. Boasting unlimited international dining, boundless libations, an array of relaxation services, and a plethora of family-friendly activities – all encompassed within Hyatt's Unlimited-Luxury offerings – Dreams Corfu beckons as the ultimate sanctuary, a perfect retreat following your explorations of Athens and other historically significant Greek sites.
Apple Leisure Group Vacations (ALGV) currently entices globetrotters with an enticing itinerary, featuring Dreams Corfu as part of its "Cities + Seas" Program, carefully designed to combine European culture and history with relaxation and natural beauty.
In stark contrast to the stereotypical Grecian vistas, Dreams Corfu paints a serene landscape reminiscent of Italy's Lake Como, with the calm Ionian Sea enhancing the environment. While tranquility reigns supreme on the island, it remains well-connected; Corfu is just an hour's flight from Athens via a domestic carrier, and accessible from various European hubs through Corfu International Airport, a mere 20-minute drive from the resort.
What distinguishes Dreams Corfu's prime location is its subtle infusion of the island's lush topography with historical elements. One can glimpse a quaint Orthodox church from the resort's shoreline, a testament to the island's rich heritage. However, it's the proximity to the Old Town of Corfu, renowned for its Venetian architecture and vibrant history, that truly captivates. The social and cultural tapestry of Corfu, once the stomping ground of aristocrats who sauntered down the town's grand "Liston Promenade," unwinding in sophisticated cafeterias and upscale restaurants, adds an extra layer of fascination. Should you wish to explore this UNESCO-protected Old Town and its surrounding natural wonders, the hotel can arrange taxis, rental cars, or tours for your convenience.
