Domes Miramare, A Luxury Collection Resort Corfu

The resort is set directly on the beach at Moraitika, on Corfu's Ionian shore. Olive gardens run behind the rooms, and the sea sits in front of them; most of the 113 rooms and suites look toward one or the other, some toward both. Emerald Retreats keep to 29 m², with marble bathrooms and a terrace or balcony; Emerald Suites and Residences stretch to 64 m² and beyond, with living rooms, kitchens, and up to two bedrooms. The Pavilion category, part of what the resort calls its Haute Living Selection, sits in a separate beachfront enclave of single-storey bungalows, several with an outdoor jacuzzi or a private 25 m² pool reached straight off a wooden deck. You can hear the water from most terraces at night. Beyond the pool and gym, the grounds run to a spa, a library, and an activity desk that can arrange canoeing, scuba diving, or a boat cruise along the coast. Corfu's ceramic art museum and Mon Repos Palace lie within reach for a half-day out. Check-in is from 2pm.
