Meet the new all-inclusive boutique hotel in Corfu you need to have on your radar

Mar-Bella Collection has just added a fourth property to its family of hotels, which all boast beautiful locations around the Ionian Sea and invite relaxation, romance or adventure, with offerings to suit solos, couples or families.

On the Greek mainland, Elix at Parga sits a short walk or funicular ride above Karavostasi Beach, backed by pine trees and with sweeping sea views from its rooms and suites. Active clients can hike, bike or take to the water, and the hotel was awarded a prestigious Michelin Key this year. 

In Corfu, beachside MarBella is a family-friendly property, where Premium All-inclusive comes as standard. A regular in Conde Nast Traveller's Reader’s Choice Awards, its quality credentials are matched by fun, not least thanks to its eight-slide waterpark. 

Also in Corfu, adults-only, all-suite Nido offers romantic escapism and solo relaxation. At this Small Luxury Hotels of the World member, clients can drift from the yoga deck to a private beach setting and then the spa, then perhaps seek the buzz of Corfu Town, a short drive away. 

The collection’s latest Corfu property opened this August, and here’s everything you need to know about the newcomer. 

Introducing Avali

Mar-Bella Collection’s newest member is Avali, a boutique-style retreat blending laid-back Mediterranean relaxation with a beach club vibe and Premium All-inclusive experience. 

Spanning several client types, its varied facilities suit solos, couples and free-spirited families with children over six-years-old. 

Charmingly situated in a small Corfu bay, Avali has 76 rooms and suites facing sea or mountain views.

There are lush gardens to stroll, a spa for reviving treatments and a 300-metre secluded beach.

Come the evening, there’s also a lively social scene. Your clients could enjoy a barbecue, beach party and alfresco cinema during their stay.

Rooms and suites

Avali’s room and suite choices suit varied needs and budget.

Your clients might opt for a romantic Deluxe Double Room with Private Pool, for balcony dips and daybed lounging, or prefer to maximise views by booking the Rooftop Deluxe Double Room. 

Among spacious suite options is the Panorama Junior Suite with its stunning wide balcony, which, for the ultimate luxury, can come with an infinity-edged Private Pool. 

All rooms include thoughtful touches such as rain showers and backlit make-up mirrors, and smart locks will be introduced next year, allowing guest to unlock their door with their phone. 

Food and drink

Relaxed sea view Mediterranean dining is what a Greek holiday is all about, and your clients will have a stimulating choice at Avali. 

Zardini (meaning small garden) is a ‘Mediterr-Asian’ fusion restaurant with an open show kitchen serving up fresh buffet and a la carte options for both lunch and dinner. 

Stiá (meaning fireplace) will open in 2026 as a special spot to dine under the stars on just-grilled meat, fish or vegetables. 

Cold beers to classic cocktails are meanwhile on hand at the Cicada Pool Bar and the Lobby Bar.

To ring the changes, Avali guests can also take advantage of Mar-Bella’s Dine Around programme, visiting MarBella and Nido to choose from their five a la carte and two buffet restaurants with a €20 euro per adult (€10 per child) allowance.

Recreation

Your clients will have all the facilities to help them cherish Ionian Sea moments at Avali. 

The main freshwater infinity pool is lined with stylish loungers and cabanas. Those keeping to healthy habits can try an outdoor yoga class or work up an appetite on the outdoor fitness deck or in the indoor gym, complete with steam room and sauna.

Families are entitled to also use the kids’ club and water park at sister property MarBella.

Naturally, Avali’s private beach is equipped for memory-making moments. The watersports centre has both motorised and non-motorised equipment for exploring the local coastline, and there’s even a Beach Spa Kiosk for seaside treatments. 

Inclusions

Avali guests can truly relax knowing all-day dining, unlimited ice cream, snacks, branded drinks, signature cocktails and selected wines are included. Your clients can also look forward to refreshing treats by the pool or beach and 30 minutes free daily use of canoes, pedalos or SUPs.

If they’re booking a higher category room, you might tempt them to stay more than seven days by outlining the extra perks, including early check in and late check out, a turndown service and an upgraded welcome amenity, which they’d gain through elevation to Signature Life status.
