Map & location
Moraitika, Corfu, Greece
Mitsis Messonghi enjoys a prime seafront position between the villages of Moraitika and Messonghi on Corfu’s green east coast. The shoreline here is long and family-friendly, with calm, shallow waters and colourful sunbeds lining the sand and shingle beach.
Stroll a couple of minutes to reach local shops, bars and tavernas, or head 1.7km into Moraitika’s centre for more choice, Roman ruins and the Old Village climbing the hillside. Nearby Messonghi, just along the river, is perfect for sunset walks and boat trips south to quieter coves.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
With four outdoor pools and a dedicated splash and aqua park, water babies are well catered for.
• 4 freshwater outdoor pools, three with separate children’s sections, surrounded by sunbeds and parasols.
• A main activity pool with slides and shallow area for little ones.
• Quieter pools that are better suited to relaxed swims and sunbathing (seasonal opening, usually late March–early November, weather and occupancy dependent).
• A seafront aqua park with waterslides and aqua loop slides, generally operating 10:00–19:00 during the main season.
• Splash park with sprinklers, water dome features, spouts and waterfall play areas, ideal for younger children.
• Complimentary pool towels are provided.
The hotel backs directly onto a long stretch of sand and shingle beach where you can stroll, paddle or join water sports such as pedalos and inflatables (often run by an external provider, local charges apply). Age, height or weight restrictions can apply around the slides and aqua park.
Spa, sports & wellness
For active guests, there’s an air-conditioned gym featuring cardio equipment, free weights and a stretching area (typically 10:00–12:00, six days per week; minimum age around 18 years). Organised activities often include aqua aerobics, basketball, darts, football, pétanque, table tennis, tennis (court hire and floodlights may be chargeable) and beach volleyball.
Off the sports field, the resort has a small spa corner offering beauty treatments and massages for guests aged 16+ (extra cost), plus an on-site mini-market for holiday essentials, beach toys and snacks. The atmosphere is informal, lively and family‑oriented, with most facilities geared around outdoor living and the sea.

Food & drink
All Inclusive at Mitsis Messonghi is geared towards no-fuss family days. There are three buffet restaurants, including:
Nafsika Main Restaurant – buffet with show cooking for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A relaxed setting where you’ll find Mediterranean and international favourites, plus live cooking stations. Gentlemen are usually asked to wear long trousers and beachwear is discouraged at dinner.
Ulysses Main Restaurant – buffet venue with kids’ buffet, highchairs and microwave, ideal for younger families. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner in peak season.
Beach Restaurant – buffet-style lunches and dinners practically on the sand, perfect when you don’t want to stray from your sunbed.
Snacks, ice creams and drinks are never far away thanks to a generous bar line-up: Levante beach bar, gelateria, two pool bars, terrace coffee bar, pizza-pasta station and River Bar and snack outlets along the seafront. Opening hours and inclusions vary by season and board, and some items may carry a supplement.
Rooms
Twin Room with Sea View
Similar in layout to the Garden View rooms but with a sea-facing balcony so you can wake up to the Ionian and enjoy those soft Corfiot sunsets from your room.
Twin Room with River View
These rooms look towards the river and surrounding landscape. Facilities mirror the standard twins and include balcony or terrace, Wi‑Fi, air‑con, shower bathroom and refreshments station.
Quadruple Room with Garden View
A great-value option for larger families, with sleeping for up to four guests, terrace access and the same practical amenities as the twin rooms – including air‑con, fridge and daily housekeeping.
Beachfront Double Bungalow
Set closer to the water’s edge, these bungalows are made for beach lovers. They feature a terrace with sunbeds, creating a private sunspot just a short stroll from the sea, alongside in‑room comforts such as Wi‑Fi, TV, safe, fridge and air‑con.
Beachfront Family Bungalow
Sleeping up to four, these larger beachfront units give families extra space plus a terrace and sunbeds, so you can base yourself by the sea all day. Great if you prefer a low‑rise, almost villa‑style feel but with full resort facilities.
Family Bungalow with Garden View
Designed for families or small groups, these duplex-style bungalows are split over two floors and sleep up to four plus an infant. You’ll have a balcony or terrace, shower bathroom, Wi‑Fi, air‑conditioning and a fridge – ideal for keeping drinks cool for little ones.
All rooms benefit from daily cleaning and towel changes, with cots available on request (subject to availability).
