Located a short stroll from the crystal clear waters of Kavos Beach, Ekati Mare first opened its doors travellers in 1990.

The chic boutique hotel in southern Corfu began as a small apartment complex and has expanded steadily over the years.

Owned by the Tsoukias family, Ekati Mare Boutique Resort has a planned expansion for the summer of 2024, when 40 new swim-up suites will be added to the property.

The hotel is just steps from the Kavos Strip, known for having the best nightlife on the island. It’s the perfect spot for nighthawks looking to dance into the wee hours of the morning at the lively clubs and bars that are a short 10 minute walk away.

Kavos Village is filled with local restaurants, shops and bars. It is considered one of the most popular entertainment hubs in Corfu since many dance clubs stay open until the wee hours of the morning.
