The Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa, a luxurious family-friendly beach resort situated on the Greek island of Corfu, is scheduled to open its doors for the 2023 season on March 1.

Located on a lush green hilltop overlooking the turquoise waters of the Ionian sea, the resort is a Mediterranean sanctuary that opened in Greece in 2021, marking the entrance of the Banyan Tree Singaporean multinational hospitality brand to the European market.

The resort boasts a close vicinity to the exotic Paxoi and Antipaxoi islets and is situated close to the world-renowned Achilleion Palace, once home to Empress Sissi of Austria, enriching its surroundings with echoes of a royal era.

Angsana Corfu’s strategic position makes it an excellent starting point for exploring Corfiot must-see spots like beautiful sandy beaches, historical sites and activities that Corfu has to offer. Located just 13 km south of Corfu town, a UNESCO World Heritage site with its imposing Old Fortress, the resort provides an experience of local heritage and Greek hospitality.

The resort comprises 159 contemporary rooms and suites, plus 37 luxury villa homes built in the style of local architecture, laid out across the hilltop estate.

Surrounded by a landscape of exquisite beauty with Mediterranean gardens and olive tree groves, the estate overlooks the picturesque Benitses Bay, presenting far-reaching views of the Ionian Sea and the countryside.

Contemporary and chic, the accommodation is designed to reflect the Angsana brand luxury aesthetics featuring a wide range of amenities like a king-size bed or twin beds, cotton bed linen, in-room safe, iron and ironing board and laundry, daily turn-down and daily maid services, among other.

Its private balconies equipped with a table and chairs offer magnificent views of the sea or hillside.

Furthermore, the resort curates a series of activities which range from local folk dance workshops, private film-screenings, and culinary demonstrations during the summer to winter group external activities like  olive oil farm tour and tasting, horse back riding and candle making workshops, among others.

The Banyan Tree Group, or Banyan Tree Holdings Limited, mother company to the Angsana brand, was founded when Singaporean businessman Ho Kwon Ping and his entrepreneur and activist wife Claire Chiang decided to buy land on the western coast of Phuket to create a resort.

Following a vast regeneration program implemented in the area, which initially proved to be an abandoned and too polluted tin mine, the first hotel of the brand was launched in 1994.

As of 2021, the company operates 55 resorts and hotels and also manages 63 spas, 64 retail galleries, and three championship golf courses in 23 countries across the globe.
