Ultima Corfu: The Art of Private Island Escape

Ultima Corfu immediately captivates with its sense of exclusivity and tranquility, standing apart from the busy, over-visited destinations of the Greek islands. The moment you arrive, greeted by sweeping views of the Ionian Sea and the villa’s striking, fortress-like silhouette perched on a private cliff, you feel transported into a world designed for pure relaxation and privacy. Here, the outside world fades away, replaced by the calm, understated luxury of a property where every detail is curated for an unforgettable escape.

Heartfelt Welcome: Staff That Make You Feel at Home

From the moment of arrival, the Ultima Corfu staff made us feel genuinely welcomed, going above and beyond to ensure every need was met. The very charm of the villa lies in its beautifully kind and welcoming staff, who truly care about guests having the best time. Their warmth and attention made us forget the world outside and feel completely at home.

Villa Design and Comfort: Contemporary Meets Authentic Greek

The villa is situated on a dramatic, private stretch of Corfu’s coastline, perched on a cliff with panoramic views of the Ionian Sea. Designed to accommodate up to 12 guests in six beautifully curated bedrooms, the property blends contemporary elegance with authentic Greek charm. Each suite features floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces, and spacious bathrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy for every guest.

While the villa is not a hotel, the suites truly deliver the service and amenities of the best five-star establishments. The dedicated staff ensures that every detail is taken care of, from daily housekeeping and immaculate cleaning to organizing every aspect of your stay, just as you would expect in a world-class hotel. Every comfort is anticipated, and the level of personalized attention matches, if not surpasses, what you’d find in top luxury resorts. In essence, Ultima Corfu offers all the exclusivity and intimacy of a private villa with the seamless service and standards of the finest hotels.

Culinary Excellence: Bespoke Dining in the Villa

Dining at Ultima Corfu is a highlight in itself. The villa’s private chef, Marco D’Orazi, brings experience from the world-renowned three-star Michelin restaurant Mirazur and was previously the in-chalet private chef at Ultima Hotel Courchevel, where he crafted bespoke menus for guests across the hotel’s 13 chalets. Marco’s work is supervised by Ultima’s Group Executive Chef, Alessandro Bergamo, ensuring the highest culinary standards. Every meal is a celebration of Greek gastronomy, with menus tailored to guests’ wishes and featuring the freshest local ingredients and seafood. With a fully staffed kitchen and such exceptional talent, there’s little reason to dine elsewhere, though the team can organize boat trips to nearby towns and hidden coves for those seeking a change of scenery.

Amenities and Activities: Wellness, Relaxation, and Adventure

The villa’s amenities are on par with the world’s best private retreats. Two heated infinity pools, an ocean-view Jacuzzi, a mosaic-tiled hammam, and a gym offer countless ways to relax and recharge. The private dock allows for direct sea access, perfect for swimming or embarking on a yacht excursion organized by the attentive Ultima team. Private boat rides reveal some of the most stunning, untouched corners of Corfu and the Ionian coastline.

Wellness is a central part of the Ultima experience. From sunrise yoga and Pilates to massage and beauty treatments, including what may be the best facial massage I’ve ever had, every detail is designed for total rejuvenation. The villa also features a cinema room and multiple indoor and outdoor dining spaces, making it ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.

Unmatched Privacy: A Home for Families and Friends

Importantly, Ultima Corfu is not a hotel. The villa is rented exclusively to one group at a time, making it perfect for families or friends seeking privacy and a truly bespoke experience. The service is discreet yet attentive, with a dedicated manager, chef, butler, housekeeping, driver, and spa therapist all on hand. For those traveling with their own staff, a low-key service option is also available.

Reminiscent of a small medieval fortress, Ultima Corfu is a secluded haven with sweeping 180-degree views of the Greek and Albanian coastlines. Guests arrive by private boat to their exclusive dock, immediately entering a world of serene luxury. The villa’s wraparound terrace and seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces are flooded with natural light, creating an atmosphere of effortless elegance.
