Corfu Private Retreat — 7 Nights Luxury Package
Corfu is the Ionian at its most complete — a UNESCO World Heritage Old Town that is as much Venice as it is Greece, four million ancient olive trees producing oil since Byzantine times, beaches ranging from golden crescents to pebble coves of crystalline Ionian blue, and a reputation for natural beauty that attracted everyone from the British royal family to Lawrence and Gerald Durrell.
The ETHER Corfu retreat introduces you to a Corfu that exists beyond the package holiday infrastructure: a private hillside villa nested in olive groves, private sea access to the island’s most beautiful coves, a private yacht day crossing to Albania’s astonishing Riviera, and insider access to the culinary and cultural life of one of Greece’s most sophisticated islands.
“We had no idea Corfu could be like this. The Old Town private tour, the Albanian Riviera by yacht, the villa in the olive groves — ETHER completely changed how we see Greece.”
Your Private Accommodation
Your private villa sits in the hills above the Ionian Sea, surrounded by Corfu’s famous ancient olive groves. All are selected for their seclusion, private pools and gardens, panoramic sea views and design quality — from restored Venetian estates to contemporary island architecture. Private chef specialising in Corfiot cuisine: a unique fusion of Greek, Venetian and French cooking traditions.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1 — Arrival
Private Arrival in Corfu
Private jet or helicopter arrival — one of the world’s most dramatic landing approaches, between mountains and sea. Private transfer to your olive grove villa. Welcome with local Corfiot products. First night dinner on your terrace.
Day 2 — History
Corfu Old Town — Venetian Masterpiece
Private guide through Corfu’s UNESCO-listed Old Town: the two Venetian fortresses, the Liston arcade (modelled on the Rue de Rivoli), the covered market and the Church of Saint Spyridon. Private lunch in an aristocratic Corfiot mansion.
Day 3 — Sea
Private Yacht to Albanian Riviera
Full-day private yacht crossing to Albania’s extraordinary, almost-undiscovered Riviera: the bays of Ksamil and the ancient city of Butrint (UNESCO site). Albania’s coast offers some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean. Return to Corfu by sunset.
Day 4 — Nature
Sea Caves & Palaiokastritsa
Private boat exploration of Corfu’s western coastline: the emerald sea caves of Palaiokastritsa and the cliff-top Byzantine monastery above. Afternoon snorkelling in the caves, private picnic on deck.
Day 5 — Gastronomy
Corfiot Cuisine & Olive Oil Heritage
Private tour of one of Corfu’s ancient olive estates — some trees over 700 years old. Olive oil tasting and estate lunch. Private cooking class: sofrito, pastitsada and kumquat tart — the unique flavours of Corfiot cooking.
Day 6 — Adventure
Kayaking, Hiking & Village Life
Private sea kayaking through the sea caves of the north coast. Afternoon visit to the mountain village of Pagi. Sunset at the Afionas headland over the twin bays of Porto Timoni — one of the most beautiful views in Greece.
Day 7 — Leisure
A Day of Absolute Rest
Your villa, your pool, your olive grove. Optional in-villa spa treatments. A long lunch in the shade of the olives. Farewell dinner as the Ionian turns gold and the cicadas fall silent.
Day 8 — Departure
Private Departure
Private transfer and VIP departure. Corfu’s silhouette disappears below the clouds — and is already drawing you back.
