Corfu Holiday Palace is perched on the Kanoni peninsula, one of the island’s most photogenic corners. The sand-and-pebble beachfront sits directly below the hotel and is reached via a funicular elevator, so you can glide down to the shore in minutes.

From the elevated grounds you’ll overlook the lagoon, Mouse Island and the tiny Church of Vlacherna – a classic Corfu postcard scene – with the occasional aircraft coming in to land across the water adding a unique backdrop.

Shops, cafés and tavernas are around 100m away, while Kanoni’s small centre is about 1.5km. Corfu Town, with its UNESCO-listed Old Town, Venetian architecture and lively harbourfront, is an easy taxi or bus ride at roughly 4km away, making it simple to combine beach time with culture and evenings out.

Indoor Pool
For cooler days at the start and end of the season, the indoor freshwater pool is heated in April and offers a quiet alternative to the main outdoor area.

Non‑motorised water sports such as canoeing and snorkelling are typically available on the beach (run by an external operator; local charges apply and availability is seasonal).
