Grecotel LUXME Costa Botanica stretches along the seafront on Corfu’s lush north coast, just outside the laid-back resort of Acharavi. The property is built within a protected wetland at the foot of a mountain, so you’ll wake to birdsong, reeds and olive groves rather than busy roads.

Acharavi’s low-rise pastel houses, cafés and tavernas sit a short walk or quick taxi away, while the famous Corfu Trail and Mount Pantokrator tempt hikers with panoramic island views and ruined chapels hidden in the greenery.

Beach: beachfront, directly in front of the resort
Acharavi resort centre: approx. 900m
Local shops, bars & tavernas: within 10–15 minutes’ walk
Corfu Town (Kerkyra): approx. 37km

Approx. transfer time from airport: 2 hours

Acharavi, Corfu, Greece

A true LUXME (Luxury Made Easy) resort, Costa Botanica is designed so you can graze from breakfast through to late-night snacks without sacrificing quality or variety.

Main restaurant & buffets
Piazza Popolare is the buzzing heart of the resort, serving buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner with live cooking stations and a dedicated kids’ buffet. Expect Greek and Mediterranean favourites, fresh salads and grilled meats, plus plenty of healthier and vegetarian options.

À la carte experiences
You’ll find four tempting à la carte venues:
• Asiana – terrace restaurant with Chinese, Thai and Japanese dishes for dinner.
• Botanica Fine Dining – an elegant terrace setting for inventive fine-dining menus.
• Nonna’s – Italian comfort food at the poolside with both buffet and à la carte service.

Cafés, patisserie & late bites
• Creperie-Gelateria for crêpes, ice cream and sweet treats in the gardens.

• All Day Beach Club for drinks with your toes in the sand.

A smart casual dress code applies in selected venues (no beachwear), and reservations are required for à la carte restaurants. Opening dates and times can vary by season and occupancy.
