St George South (Agios Georgios) is one of Corfu’s most easy-going beach resorts, with a long ribbon of soft sand, shallow turquoise water and a backdrop of rolling green hills. Sandy Villas Resort sits a leisurely stroll from the shoreline and resort centre, tucked slightly back for a calmer, more residential feel.

You’re close enough to wander down for sunset drinks in the beach bars, but far enough to retreat to a peaceful pool terrace when you’re done exploring. Lake Korission – a protected lagoon and birdwatching hotspot – is just over a kilometre away, adding a wilder side of Corfu within reach.

• Beach and St George South resort centre: approx. 800m
• Lake Korission: approx. 1.5km
• Corfu Town (Kerkyra): approx. 30km

Approx. transfer time from airport: 1 hour 45 minutes

St George South, Corfu, Greece

The All Inclusive concept at Sandy Villas Resort taps into the wide choice at the neighbouring Sandy Beach Resort as well as a dedicated à la carte on site, giving you a surprisingly big dining line-up for such an intimate-feeling property.

At Sandy Beach Resort, Elia Main Restaurant is the buffet hub for breakfast, lunch and dinner with live cooking stations and a kids’ buffet, while Ammos Snack Restaurant covers laid-back buffet breakfasts and lunches by the beach. In the evenings, you can mix things up with à la carte venues:

• Ammos A La Carte – Greek specialities right on the sand, with kids’ options and a relaxed yet smart dress code.
• Ermis Gyro A La Carte – located at Sandy Villas Resort itself, serving Greek dishes on the terrace for dinner.
• Il Gusto A La Carte – Italian classics at Sandy Beach Resort, ideal for a family pasta night or date night.

Bars are refreshingly varied for a compact resort set-up. Between Sandy Villas and Sandy Beach you’ll find:

• Aperitivo cocktail bar for evening sundowners on the terrace
• Multiple pool bars including Aqua, Navio, Oasis and Mare
• Kyma beach bar right on the sand, open late in season
• Muses lobby bar for pre- or post-dinner drinks
• A gelateria kiosk in the gardens at Sandy Beach Resort (payable; not part of All Inclusive)

A smart-casual dress code applies in some venues (no beachwear; long trousers for gentlemen in certain restaurants), and à la carte visits typically require reservations. Exact opening dates and hours can vary by season.

What All Inclusive typically includes.

Sandy Villas Resort is all about pool life. Rooms cluster around elongated, river-style pools, creating that sought-after swim-up feel and easy access to sunbeds just steps from your terrace.

Across Sandy Villas and Sandy Beach Resort, you’ll find:

• 4 outdoor freshwater pools, including a main pool at Sandy Villas and several at the sister hotel
• A pool with children’s section and waterslides at Sandy Beach Resort – great for younger guests
• An adults-only infinity pool with Balinese beds at the sister hotel for quieter lounging
• Generous sunbathing areas with sunbeds and parasols around all main pools
• Free pool towels to save space in your suitcase

Down at the sandy beach (around 800m away), an external operator runs watersports such as pedalos, windsurfing and motorised options (payable locally). The bay is long, gently shelving and ideal for easy-going swims and long barefoot walks.

Facilities and opening dates for certain pools are seasonal and weather-dependent.
