MarBella, Mar-Bella Collection
MarBella is a five-star Premium All Inclusive family resort on the sheltered southeast coast of Corfu, in Greece, built into a hillside above the beach at Agios Ioannis Peristeron. The draw for families is the Anemelia Waterpark, a crèche that takes babies from four months and a short airport transfer, with the buffet, à la carte dinners, drinks and beach service folded into the price.

Is it worth it?
The quick read before the detail: who MarBella suits, what the all-inclusive covers and the two things to weigh before you book.
MarBella is part of the Mar-Bella Collection, a third-generation family-owned Greek group founded by the Dracopoulos family, and it's built for families holidaying together. The headline is the Anemelia Waterpark, eight slides and an infinity pool included in the price, alongside childcare for very young babies and a transfer of about half an hour. The Premium All Inclusive folds in the buffet, a set number of à la carte dinners, drinks between set hours, snacks and drinks brought to your sunbed. Two things shape whether it fits your family. The site is terraced and steep in places, so with a pram it pays to choose your room location carefully, and there's no traditional shallow paddling pool, with the waterpark splash areas filling that role instead.
Best for
You want a waterpark and the ease of all-inclusive, you have a very young baby, and a short airport transfer matters after a long day travelling.
Maybe not for
You need flat, pram-easy ground throughout, a traditional shallow paddling pool, or unlimited à la carte dining with no cap.
Best ages
Babies through teens. A crèche from four months, a kids club to twelve, and a teens lounge for older children.
What stands out
The Anemelia Waterpark and the hillside views over the Ionian Sea to mainland Greece.
What to check
Your room location for the terrain, à la carte dinners booked about two weeks ahead, the 2026 adults-only zones, and childcare rates.
Where is it?
Agios Ioannis Peristeron, on Corfu's southeast coast, about 20 to 30 minutes from Corfu Airport.
Quick facts for families
The resort and how it is laid out
Where MarBella sits, how it steps down the hillside, and what the terrain means for getting around with young children.
MarBella is a large, long-established five-star resort that steps down a hillside in terraces, from a nine-floor main building at the top to the waterpark and beaches at the bottom. It opened in the late 1960s with 62 rooms and grew in 1970, when 300 more were added along with the beach tunnel, and today it holds around 362 rooms and suites. The name means "beautiful sea" in Italian. The Collection marked fifty years in 2019, having by then hosted more than a million families. Rooms fall into four groupings: the main tower, highest up, with the widest panoramic sea views; four cluster blocks set around the pools on the middle terraces; an annexe building at sea level by the beach, the most sought after with families for its direct tunnel access; and bungalow suites lower down at garden and pool level, some with private pools or gardens. Gardens of pine and olive run between the blocks, and mainland Greece is visible across the water. Reviewers describe it as well run and experienced, with long-serving staff and children treated as central rather than an afterthought.
The terraces are joined by steps, ramps, paths and lifts, and the site is steep in places, so it's worth thinking about where you sleep if you'll be pushing a pram. Families who booked rooms near the main lifts, at lobby level or in the beachside annexe report easy days; those further up report more steps and slopes than they'd like. Getting around is on foot, by steps and by lift. The beach is reached through a subterranean tunnel built in 1970, which takes a pushchair or a wheelchair and keeps you off the coastal road, or by garden steps. The one step-free route the resort confirms is that beach tunnel, and lifts serve the main building. If step-free routing across the whole hillside matters for a wheelchair or a large pram, contact the resort before you book so they can talk you through it.
MarBella shares its shoreline with two sister hotels, Nido and Avali, and together the three make up the Mar-Bella Resort Area, linked by a complimentary shuttle. A third sister property, Elix, is on the Greek mainland at Parga rather than on this stretch of coast. You book one hotel but, through the Dine Around programme, Premium All Inclusive guests can eat across all three. Condé Nast Traveller ranked MarBella among the top ten resorts in Greece for four consecutive years up to 2022, and it won the World Travel Awards prize for Greece's Leading Family Resort the same year. For the wider island, its beaches and when to go, see our Corfu guide.
Every restaurant and bar
How the all-inclusive dining works, the à la carte booking, the Dine Around across three hotels, and each restaurant and bar in turn.
Dining runs on Premium All Inclusive. The buffet is included in full, along with a set number of à la carte dinners, snacks, the poolside and beachside food trucks and drinks brought to your sunbed. Branded spirits, cocktails, beer and wine are included at the bars from 10:00 to 23:00. A Little Explorers children's menu, with dishes portioned for younger appetites, runs across the restaurants. Half board is also available if you'd rather not take the all-inclusive.
Because MarBella sits in the Mar-Bella Resort Area, Premium All Inclusive guests can also eat at the sister hotels Nido and Avali under the Dine Around programme, which opens up six à la carte restaurants and three buffets across the three hotels, with a complimentary shuttle between them.
How the à la carte dinners work
The number of à la carte dinners included scales with the length of your stay:
| Length of stay | À la carte dinners included |
|---|---|
| 0 to 2 nights | 0 |
| 3 to 4 nights | 1 |
| 5 to 6 nights | 2 |
| 7 to 8 nights | 3 |
| 9 to 10 nights | 4 |
| 11 to 12 nights | 5 |
| 13 to 15 nights | 6 |
| 16 to 18 nights | 7 |
| 19 to 20 nights | 8 |
| 21 nights or more | 9 |
The à la carte restaurants need booking in advance, and the resort suggests reserving at least fourteen days ahead through its app. The early sittings that suit small children fill first in peak season, so book as soon as you can, and be aware some guests have found the allocation tighter than in past years.
La Terrazza is the main all-day buffet, a light space with sea views, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with themed dinner nights three times a week. It's the central family venue and takes walk-ins with no booking. Reviewers rate the range highly for an all-inclusive, though it can get crowded and noisy at peak times, after 20:00 in high summer.
Kuzina is the Italian restaurant, à la carte for lunch and dinner with a buffet breakfast, and one of the more child-friendly à la carte options for its pasta and pizza-style dishes.
Deck Bar & Grill is the beachfront restaurant, Greek meze at lunch and locally caught fish and seafood from an open kitchen in the evening. It's the à la carte room reviewers rate most for its food, and the beachfront layout suits families.
Kum Kuat is the pan-Asian restaurant, named after the kumquat, the Corfiot citrus, with indoor and al fresco tables, a buffet breakfast and a pan-Asian dinner menu. Reviewers describe it as the calmest of the à la carte rooms.
Celeste is the French restaurant and the most formal of MarBella's own venues. It isn't aimed at young children, and reviews of the food are mixed.
Apagio, the flagship at Nido, serves creative Greek cooking and is open to MarBella guests through Dine Around. Stià Grill, at Avali, is an open-air Mediterranean grill of meats, fish and vegetarian and vegan dishes, also reached through Dine Around.
The bars
Belvedere is the lobby lounge bar with a panoramic sea terrace, good for a sundowner. Eleonas looks over the olive groves and the sea and hosts live music and the weekly Greek Night. Cascade sits by the main pool for cold drinks, cocktails and ice creams. M-Bar is the contemporary lobby bar for quieter evenings. Anemelia Bar, at the waterpark, serves drinks and light snacks with unlimited scooped ice cream for children and cocktails or beer for adults. Food trucks by the pool and beach serve street food, snacks and drinks through the day.
The adults-only zones
For 2026, MarBella is adding adults-only zones at Eleonas Bar, Kuzina, La Terrazza and Celeste, and at selected areas of the main pool and beach. These are designated sections within each space rather than a change to who the venue is for: the restaurants, bars, pool and beach stay open to families, with a reserved adult area set aside. It's worth knowing if you'd pictured those spaces as fully family-run throughout.
Rooms and suites
Every room and suite with its official size, the pools across the terraces, the Anemelia Waterpark and the beach below.
There are twenty-one room and suite categories. All rooms have air conditioning, a balcony or terrace, satellite TV, Wi-Fi, a minibar restocked weekly under the all-inclusive, a Nespresso machine and a safe, with king-size beds and, in most, open-plan bathrooms. The table below is the full line-up with the official sizes; the guidance after it is which suit a family with a baby or toddler.
| Room or suite | Size | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Room | 28 m² | 2 | Garden or resort |
| Standard Room Sea View | 28 m² | 2 | Sea |
| Superior Room | 30 m² | 3 | Garden or resort |
| Superior Room Sea View | 30 m² | 3 | Sea |
| Deluxe Bungalow Room | 24 m² | 2 | Sea |

For families, the choice is mostly about how much separation you want between sleeping and living space. The Superior Room at 30 m² is the smallest category that sleeps three, adding a sofa bed to the standard double or twin without moving up to a family-labelled room, useful for a couple with one young child who doesn't need much extra floor space. The Family Room at 35 m² is the entry-level family option proper, a double bedroom with a sofa bed in a sitting area, fine for a couple with one or two young children but tight for a longer stay with an active toddler. The Superior Family Room at 40 m² is the meaningful step up, with a separate sitting room that gives you somewhere to be once a baby is down for a nap or the night. The Superior Family Room Private Garden, also 40 m², puts that on the ground floor with a garden you can step a buggy straight out into. The Bungalow Junior Suite at 32 m² is open-plan rather than split into rooms, a double bed with a sofa roll-out and a sea view, in the bungalow buildings rather than the main tower. For a family of five, or two families together, the Family Interconnecting Room at 60 m² joins two full rooms through connecting doors, while the Bungalow Family Suite Sea View at 48 m² gives two separate bedrooms in bungalow style. The largest options are the Two Bedroom Bungalow Suites at 50 to 59 m², and the Private Pool version of these, at 55 m², adds its own heated pool close to the beach.
Some suites come with a private pool, heated to 24°C. The Junior Suite Private Pool measures 3.98 by 4.0 metres and is 1.2 m deep, which is deep for a toddler, so treat the private pools as adult-depth and ask the resort about a particular suite before you rely on one for a small child. The One Bedroom Bungalow Suite Private Pool, at 49 m², pairs its heated pool with a separate living room and a sofa roll-out, so there's somewhere to sit once children are asleep without the bedroom being the only option. The Junior Suite Grand Terrace Whirlpool has an open whirlpool on its terrace, which isn't suited to babies and toddlers, and the Deluxe Bungalow Room at 24 m² is compact and aimed at couples rather than families. Some of the older main-building rooms are described by reviewers as showing their age next to the newer bungalow-style accommodation; the resort has been renovating steadily and the standard is high for a five-star, so if newness matters to you the bungalow categories are the safer choice. A cot is available on request and needs to be asked for when you book. For an early check-in you can email the resort ahead at [email protected], and late checkout is confirmed on the day you leave.
The pools
The resort has several pools spread across the terraces, plus the waterpark below. The main pool is a large freshwater pool with an attached outdoor Jacuzzi; it has an improved heating system, though it's weather-dependent, so the temperature can vary rather than sitting at a guaranteed level, and reviewers note sunbeds around it can be in short supply during the busiest summer weeks. There's a separate saltwater infinity pool, the Cascade, with its own Jacuzzi; one reviewer found the water deeper and cooler here than the heated suite pools. The Anemelia Waterpark has its own infinity pool with an outdoor whirlpool, sunbeds and sea views. Some suites have their own private pools, heated to 24°C.
There's no dedicated children's or paddling pool. The shallow water is around the waterslide instead, at toddler-appropriate depths. Check the pool opening hours with the resort when you get there.
The Anemelia Waterpark
The Anemelia Waterpark is the resort's headline family attraction and the first waterpark attached to a five-star hotel on Corfu. It has eight water slides, including a two-lane multi-slide, an enclosed Aquatube tunnel and a compact slide for younger children, so there's something across the age range, along with the infinity pool and whirlpool. Access is included in the all-inclusive, and it's open from around 24 April, weather permitting, to the end of October. The Anemelia Bar alongside serves drinks and light snacks with unlimited scooped ice cream for children, so you can watch from the poolside or the bar while children take the slides. It's the feature families single out most from a stay.
The beach
Two beach areas sit below the resort. The Family Beach is described by the resort as having shallow water suited to families with small children, and it's next to the non-motorised watersports and the boat deck. The Deck Beach with Sand is reached through the hotel gardens, with calm water for swimming. You reach both through the beach tunnel, which takes a pushchair, or by garden steps. Reviewers consistently describe pebble and shingle with some sandy patches and advise packing sea shoes. Entry at the deck is by steps rather than a gentle sandy slope, and one reviewer flagged a sharp drop from the deck into the sea, so it's a spot to watch toddlers closely.
The beach has historically held Blue Flag status, the international mark of a clean, well-run beach. Under Greek law the beach is public, but the sunbeds and umbrellas are for hotel guests only, with snacks and drinks brought to them through the day and showers and towels at both areas. Non-motorised watersports are included, with 30 minutes per person a day of canoe, pedalo or stand-up paddleboard, plus snorkelling; motorised sports like jet skis, wakeboarding, water skiing, the banana boat and the ringo cost extra. A weekly Posidonia snorkelling session, open to all guests, explores the seagrass meadows just off MarBella and Nido, where you can spot starfish, sea urchins and small fish. Traditional Kaiki boat cruises to Corfu's southern beaches run daily and are included, with one sunset cruise per stay.
Babies and toddlers
The baby kit, the crèche and clubs, everything that fills a family day on resort, and the days out beyond the gate.
The room can be set up for a baby or toddler if you ask when you book. The kit available on request covers a cot, a high chair, a baby bath, a baby monitor, a bottle steriliser and warmer, bed guards, a changing mat, a potty, a toilet seat and step, baby cutlery, a bouncing chair and a car seat for taxis. A baby buggy is available too, but this one is a hire item with a fee rather than free like the rest of the kit. The Little Explorers children's menu runs across the restaurants. There's no dedicated playground, and the only play equipment is some non-substantial kit on the beach.
Childcare is run by Worldwide Kids, a UK provider working to Ofsted ratio standards with UK-qualified staff. The Grasshoppers Crèche takes children from four months to just under four years. Sessions run mornings 10:00 to 13:00 and afternoons 15:00 to 18:00, three hours each, with a lunchtime session in between, and in July and August there's an evening session from 19:00 to 21:00 on request. The crèche is open every day except Tuesdays, from the start of May to the end of October. It's charged per session, around €40 for a morning or afternoon session or €60 if you book both on the same day, plus around €25 for the lunchtime session on top (this doesn't cover food); confirm the current rates when you book. For the youngest children the days are sensory play and craft.
The Grasshoppers Kids Club runs for four to twelve year olds, with complimentary morning and afternoon sessions, 10:00 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 18:00, and a charged lunch session from 13:00 to 15:00 in between at around €25 (again, food isn't included); it runs Monday to Saturday, closed on Sundays, with evening sessions in July and August. The days mix beach games, picnics, parties, arts and crafts, painting and sports, with archery and treasure hunts, and football and tennis folded in as activities rather than stand-alone camps. Included workshops add Lego robotics for seven-to-twelves and teenagers, pottery and ceramics, and a traffic and road-safety mini-car course. Teenagers have a revamped Teens Lounge with arcade games and a social space. Evening babysitting is available from 18:30, Monday to Saturday, through Worldwide Kids, at around €15 an hour, worth confirming when you book.
On resortThings to do
A lot is included beyond the pools, waterpark and beach. On the sports side there's a floodlit tennis court, with lessons charged extra, plus basketball, table tennis, archery, badminton, beach volleyball and mini football. There's an equipped gym, which is included, plus a daily fitness programme of TRX, indoor cycling, outdoor Pilates, functional training, Hatha and aerial yoga, aqua fitness, stretch aerobics, boules, darts and a running club with two on-site tracks and a 5k village run, plus hiking and jogging; personal training costs extra. The spa uses SOTHYS products for massages, facials, body treatments and wraps, with manicures, pedicures and a hammam. The gym, sauna and steam room are included and treatments are charged.
Evenings bring daily live music across jazz, blues, pop, Greek and opera, a weekly Greek Night at Eleonas, a Sunday outdoor cinema at the Deck, beach parties and a children's mini disco. Beyond the included Kaiki cruises and the Posidonia snorkelling, the Mar-Bella Collection runs its own catamaran to Paxos and Antipaxos on Wednesdays and Sundays, taking in the Blue Caves, a swim at Voutoumi and a stop at Gaios, with lunch, drinks and snorkelling kit provided; this one is charged separately. Private yacht and island tours and a private boat transfer to Corfu Town are available too. If you're not staying but want to visit, there's a paid day-visitor pass.
Off resortThe area and days out
The resort sits in Agios Ioannis Peristeron, a small seaside village on Corfu's southeast coast with a handful of shops and cafés along the coastal road. It's pleasant for a stroll, but the resort is really the focus, and the Mar-Bella area works as its own self-contained district. There's a minimarket and a car-hire desk on site. You don't need a car to enjoy the resort, though one helps for days out, and two public bus stops sit right outside on the route to Corfu Town. Moraitika, a busier resort village with tavernas, bars, shops and a long sandy-and-pebble beach that merges south into Messonghi, is about 2 miles (3 km) south, roughly five minutes by car. Benitses, a quieter traditional fishing village with waterfront tavernas, is about 2.5 miles (4 km) north.
Corfu Town, the UNESCO-listed Venetian old town, is about 20 to 25 minutes away and makes a good half-day or evening out: the Church of Saint Spyridon, the arcaded Liston, two fortresses and plenty of places to eat. The old town's streets are cobbled, so a pram takes some planning, and there's a private sea transfer if you'd rather arrive by boat. Achilleion Palace, the neoclassical palace built for Empress Elisabeth of Austria, is 20 to 30 minutes away, with statues, gardens, sea views and buggy-friendly paths; parking is very limited, so arrive early. Kanoni and Mouse Island, about 20 minutes away, give you the much-photographed view of the Vlacherna monastery on its islet, a ten-minute pontoon walk out, and planes coming in low over the runway, which children tend to love. Paleokastritsa, on the west coast about 45 to 55 minutes away over the mountains, has emerald coves, a clifftop monastery, boat trips to sea caves and good snorkelling, a full day out, with narrow village roads in peak season. Aqualand Corfu, one of Europe's largest waterparks, is about 25 to 30 minutes away, open May to October from 10:00 to 18:00, and takes children from four with a separate area for under-eights; check current admission prices before you go.
Loves and gripes
What families rate and what frustrated them, how it compares with its Corfu rivals, the journey in and the weather by month.
What families love
- The Anemelia Waterpark, the standout of a stay for most families.
- The warmth and long service of the staff.
- The hillside setting and the views over the Ionian to mainland Greece.
- The ease of the all-inclusive and the freshness of the food.
- The Grasshoppers crèche and kids club.
- The short airport transfer.
- The sea views from the upper rooms and the variety from Dine Around.
- The evening entertainment, from the weekly Greek Night to live music and cinema nights.
Common gripes
- The terraced, steep-in-places site, hard work with a pram if your room is far from a lift.
- No separate children's paddling pool.
- Beach entry by steps at the deck, with sea shoes advised.
- Pressure to book the à la carte dinners early in peak season.
- The main buffet getting crowded and noisy at peak times.
- The new 2026 adults-only zones, which set aside sections of some restaurants, bars, the main pool and the beach for adults alongside the family areas.
- A large site that can feel maze-like at first, and average soundproofing in some rooms.
Across the big review sites MarBella rates consistently well: around 4.5 out of 5 on TripAdvisor, around 8.5 to 8.7 out of 10 on Booking.com and 9.2 out of 10 on Expedia. Treat those as a rough steer rather than a precise score.
Against the other Corfu resortsHow it compares
Corfu has more than one five-star family all-inclusive, and the closest comparison is Ikos Dassia on the northeast coast. Ikos is ultra-inclusive, with all watersports and unlimited à la carte dining, and its site is flatter and easier with a pram. MarBella counters with the waterpark, a longer history, the better views and a crèche that starts at four months rather than six, though its à la carte dinners are capped by length of stay. Ikos Odisia, a newer Ikos resort about ten minutes away at Messonghi, is flatter and more modern with no à la carte cap, while MarBella has the waterpark, its heritage and the earlier crèche age. Domes of Corfu, over on the west coast at Glyfada, is smaller and more boutique with a funicular down to the beach, a high-end spa and a crèche from four months, the same starting age as MarBella's; MarBella has the waterpark and the calmer, more sheltered east-coast sea.
From the airportGetting there
Corfu Airport is about 20 to 30 minutes away by road, roughly 10 miles (16 km). The resort doesn't run its own transfers, so most families arrive on a transfer bundled into their package by a UK operator such as Sovereign, Jet2 or easyJet holidays, or by private taxi; the Collection also runs a sea taxi between its own hotels. There's no fixed minimum stay published by the resort, though some UK operators set their own, so check when you book. The resort is open from around late April to late October.
When to goWeather, month by month
MarBella runs from around late April to late October, and on the sheltered southeast coast the water stays calm and warm through the summer. July and August are the hottest, at about 31°C, and the busiest. June and September strike the best balance for young children, with a sea at 22 to 24°C, plenty of sun and thinner crowds, and the full programme still running. Corfu is wetter than many Greek islands in the shoulder months, so late October carries a real chance of rain, though the resort and waterpark stay open to the end of the season.
| Month | Daytime high | Overnight low | Rain | Wet days | Sea temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| April | 19° | 10° | 57 mm | 6 | 16° |
| May | 24.5° | 14.5° | 31 mm | 4 | 20° |
| June | 29° | 18.5° | 19 mm | 2 | 23° |
| July | 32° | 20.5° | 9 mm | 1 | 26° |
| August | 32° | 21° | 27 mm | 1 | 27° |
| September | 27° | 18° | 91 mm | 5 | 25° |
| October | 23.5° | 14.5° | 136 mm | 7 | 23° |
Typical monthly averages from weather-station records. Sea temperature is the open-water figure, so a sheltered bay can feel a degree or two warmer. The resort runs from around late April to late October.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark, and when this guide was last refreshed.
Which room should we book if we have a pushchair?
Ask for a room near the main lifts or at lobby level, or in the beachside annexe, which sits at sea level by the tunnel. The ground-floor Superior Family Room Private Garden is another buggy-friendly option. Email the resort with your dates and say you are travelling with a pushchair, as rooms are allocated in advance.
How young does the crèche take babies?
From four months, run by the UK provider Worldwide Kids to Ofsted ratio standards. Places are limited and July and August fill fast, so book ahead through the Worldwide Kids booking page rather than waiting until you arrive.
Is there a paddling pool for toddlers?
There is no separate paddling pool. The shallow splash areas around the waterslide in the Anemelia Waterpark are where little ones play, so plan for the waterpark rather than expecting a toddler pool among the sunbeds.
What is the beach like underfoot?
Reviewers consistently describe pebble and shingle rather than soft sand, so buy sea shoes before you travel to save paying resort prices. Of the two areas, the Family Beach is the shallower and the one to head for with toddlers.
How many à la carte dinners do we get?
It scales with the length of your stay, so a week of seven or eight nights gives you three. If you do not want to plan around bookings, the La Terrazza buffet takes walk-ins for every meal, so you are never left without a table.
What do the 2026 adults-only zones mean for families?
They are reserved adult sections within Eleonas Bar, Kuzina, La Terrazza and Celeste and parts of the main pool and beach, not a change to who those places are for. You can still use all of them as a family, alongside a set-aside adult area.
Is the main pool heated?
It has a heating system, but it is weather-dependent, so the temperature varies rather than sitting at a set warmth. The private suite pools are the ones kept at a steady 24°C.
Is the beach private?
Greek beaches are public by law, so it is not private, but the sunbeds and umbrellas are for hotel guests only, and snacks and drinks are brought to them through the day.
Can we visit for the day without staying?
Yes, there is a paid day-visitor pass, charged per person. Contact the resort for the current rate and to check availability before you travel.
Is there a minimum stay?
The resort does not publish one. Any minimum comes from the operator, and those vary, so if you want a shorter break it is worth comparing a couple of operators or asking the resort about booking direct.
