The Mar-Bella Collection, a family-owned Greek luxury hospitality brand, is delighted to announce that it will open a new hotel, Avail, in summer 2025.
Nestled in the prime beachfront setting of Agios Ioannis Peristeron in south-west Corfu, the new hotel is less than 600m from the brand’s established MarBella and Nido hotels. The hotel will open following the meticulous rebuild of an existing property with 76 rooms and suites, catering to free-spirited young families, solo travellers and groups of friends seeking barefoot luxury.
Named Avali – a dialect of Corfu, meaning ‘a small bay’ – the property is set between verdant mountains and a 300m sandy pebbled beach on the sparkling Ionian Sea. It will be home to an expansive infinity pool, three-acres of lush gardens and a Beach House, which will be available for guests from across the Mar-Bella Collection portfolio to enjoy.
Developed with sustainability in mind, state-of-the-art energy-efficient materials have been used throughout and the team have partnered with a horticulturist to showcase native plant species. The natural surroundings – including the mountains, olive groves, foliage and beach – have also inspired Avali’s fresh design. A calming colour palette will be used throughout, harnessing warm natural tones that reflect its beachside setting.
