Overview

 
Set on Corfu’s tranquil eastern shoreline, The Ray Hotel blends minimalist, island-inspired design with a cinematic outlook over Perama Bay. A private beach deck, stylish pool terrace with Bali beds and light‑filled rooms and villas make this 4-star hideaway ideal for slow, sun-drenched days and balmy evenings gazing across the Ionian Sea.

Think glassy sea views, clean lines and a palm-fringed pool deck: The Ray Hotel is all about contemporary island living on Corfu’s softer, east-coast side. 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. For couples and friends seeking Corfu’s charm without the crowds, The Ray Hotel delivers a calm, design-forward base on the island’s eastern shore. It’s around 40 minutes from Corfu Airport by road.

Map & location


Perama, Corfu, Greece

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.

  • Private beach deck on-site (access via steps)
  • Perama resort centre 50m
  • Corfu Town 8km (short drive or local bus)
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 40 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


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.
