A top pick for families, the Labranda Sandy Beach Resort is an All Inclusive paradise. Whether you’re seeking beachfront bliss along the toe-sinking sands of Aghios Georgios South, an action-packed kids’ club for your mischievous monkeys or four supersized pools for endless splash-filled fun, this stay ticks all the right boxes for a premium 4 star getaway.

All 684 rooms have a contemporary flare with whitewashed interiors, tiled flooring and mod-cons like a flatscreen TV, Wi-Fi and air-conditioning. Comfortable family suites sleep a max of six with two sprawling bedrooms, while classic options will suit couples on romantic retreats sleeping up to three holidaymakers. As standard, you can expect a shower or bathtub, hairdryer, in-room safe and a furnished balcony or terrace. Upgrade to a junior, and you’ll benefit from additional perks such as a complimentary minibar (refillable on request), welcome gifts, plush bathrobes and slippers. Not to mention the extra living room space!

When you’re done dozing on your twin bed, follow the smell of grilled meats and you’ll stumble across Ammos Restaurant. This Greek speciality spot not only serves up the most delicious mezze platters but comes with awe-inspiring sea views to match. Transport yourself over to Italy at El Gusto - this a la carte is your go-to for all things pizza and pasta. But Elia is the star of the show luring you in with its international buffet delights morning, noon and night. Fancy a light bite? There are two snack shacks whipping up hot dogs, fries and local street food. And we’ve saved the best until last, the gelateria! Think soft scoops of chocolate topped with sprinkles or blended into a delicious milkshake - now that’s what we call dessert.

For indulgence in the form of massages and relaxation, check out the spa. Disconnect and de-stress with a facial before cleansing your pores in the steam room. And if you’re wondering what to do with the kids while you’re deep in a body scrub, there’s a mini club for ages 4-12 and a teen area for those aged 12-17. That’s if they’re not already making a beeline for the hotel’s waterslides. When it comes to sunbathing you can flit between a Blue Flag awarded beach and four pools. You’ll also find two waterside bars ready to quench your thirst, whipping up everything from cocktails to fruit juice and fizzy pop. And the mojitos aren’t just for daylight hours, head over to Muse for live entertainment and an evening tipple.

Situated just over an hour from the airport (shared transfers may take a little longer), the Labranda Sandy Beach Resort takes up a prime position along Corfu’s southern coast. Just a short stroll from the centre of Aghios Georgios, you’ve got everything from tasty gyros spots to cosy tavernas overlooking the ocean and quaint boutiques selling those all-important souvenirs (yes, that means olive oil and bottles of ouzo by the boatload). When you want to swap cocktails for culture, Corfu Town is around 30 minutes by car. Here you’ll get lost among a UNESCO-listed Old Town housing a 16th century fortress and the Byzantine Museum of Corfu.
