Days drift between the generous freshwater pool and the hotel’s private beach deck, where complimentary loungers and umbrellas line the jetty. Evenings call for golden-hour cocktails and unhurried dinners overlooking Perama Bay.

Location | The Ray Hotel
Location
Perched on Corfu’s verdant eastern shoreline, The Ray Hotel sits in Perama, a small resort framed by mountains and sea. From here you can gaze across the water to Mouse Island, hop on a boat to Corfu Town, or simply wander to the nearby tavernas for laid-back dinners right by the water.
Perama’s central position makes it a great base for exploring the island by car – from secret coves on the west coast to the UNESCO-listed streets of Corfu’s Old Town – while still keeping transfers short and simple.

Restaurants and Bars
The Ray Hotel keeps dining relaxed and unpretentious, with flavours that make the most of Corfu’s Mediterranean setting.
The main buffet restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, with a mix of Greek favourites and international dishes, plus lighter options and salads. Expect a bright, contemporary setting and a smart-casual dress code in the evenings.
The pool bar is the social hub during the day, serving local, international and selected premium drinks, alongside snacks during the main season. As the sun starts to dip, it’s the ideal spot for a pre-dinner drink with views across Perama Bay.
Opening times, reservation requirements and inclusions can vary by season and board basis, so always check the latest details on arrival.
Pool Areas and Beach
The outdoor freshwater pool sits at the heart of the hotel, edged by cushioned loungers, parasols and eye-catching Bali beds that invite long, lazy afternoons in the sun. Pool towels are complimentary, so you can travel light.
Just below, the private beach deck offers front-row access to the Ionian Sea. Step down from the hotel to the timber platform, where loungers and umbrellas are set out for hotel guests. It’s the perfect spot for a morning dip, a book in the shade or a sunset aperitif with the water lapping below.
