Pool day passes in Corfu

Corfu's pool day pass market is thin compared to mainland Greece or Rhodes. Most of the island's hotels are small, independent properties that let day guests use the pool informally if they buy food or drinks at the bar. The formal, bookable day passes are concentrated at three large resorts: Mar-Bella Collection, Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa, and Ikos Dassia.

Only Mar-Bella publishes a firm price: €183 (about $198) for its cruise-passenger package, which bundles buffet meals and aqua park access alongside the pool. Angsana and Ikos Dassia both keep pricing off their websites, so a phone call is the fastest way to confirm the current rate before you go.

Day passes here lean toward cruise-ship visitors docking in Corfu Town, so summer (June to September) is peak demand and the best window to book ahead. Outside that season, several resorts also open earlier pool access and lower rates.

• Mar-Bella Collection — about $198, all-inclusive buffet meals and aqua park access built for cruise-ship day trippers
• Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa — price on request, infinity pool and private beach with sauna, jacuzzi, and hammam included
• Ikos Dassia — price on request, beach, sunbeds, and pools bundled with a meal, best for cruise-day visitors

How much does a pool day pass in Corfu cost?

Only one hotel in Corfu publishes a firm day pass price: Mar-Bella's cruise-passenger package at €183 (about $198), which covers multiple meals and aqua park access alongside pool and beach time. Angsana and Ikos Dassia both run day-pass programs but keep pricing off their sites, so call ahead to confirm the current rate.

Hotel	Price	Best for
Mar-Bella Collection	€183 / about $198	Cruise-ship day trippers wanting meals included
Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa	Price on request	Infinity pool with sea views
Ikos Dassia	Price on request	Beach access with a meal included

Do you need to book a pool day pass in Corfu in advance?

Book at least a few days ahead if you're visiting during cruise-ship season (June to September), when day passes are most in demand. Mar-Bella's cruise package requires a printed pass at check-in, so book online in advance rather than trying to arrange it at the door. Angsana and Ikos Dassia don't publish online booking for their day passes, so call the hotel directly to check availability, especially if a cruise ship is in port that day. Ikos Dassia in particular has been known to pause day-pass sales when the resort is at full occupancy.

Can non-guests use hotel pools in Corfu?

Sometimes, but it's usually informal. Corfu's smaller independent hotels will often let non-guests use the pool for free if you order food or drinks at the bar. The large all-inclusive resorts are the ones that actually charge and formalize the arrangement: Mar-Bella, Angsana, and Ikos Dassia all run structured day-pass products with set inclusions. If you're set on a specific pool, call ahead rather than assuming a policy either way, since it can change with occupancy and season.

Where to stay in Corfu

Corfu Town is the best base if you want to walk everywhere: its Venetian old town is packed with pastel arcades, tavernas, and the Spianada square, and it's the most convenient starting point if you don't have a car. Bella Venezia, a restored 19th-century mansion, puts you right in the middle of it.

If you'd rather be near the beach, the northeast coast around Dassia is quieter and greener, and a favorite with families booking package holidays. Corfu Imperial, A Grecotel Resort sits on its own peninsula nearby with three beaches and several pools, a step up if you want resort-style comfort with your day pass hotels close by.

Mar-Bella Collection

Mar-Bella Collection sits on the sandy stretch of Agios Ioannis Peristeron beach on Corfu's northeast coast. The resort's infinity pool overlooks the Ionian Sea, and it also runs the Anemelia Aqua Park on-site, giving day-pass holders more than just a pool to work with.

The Day Pass for Cruisers costs €183 (about $198) and covers beach and pool access with sunbeds, the infinity pool, an outdoor whirlpool, the Anemelia Aqua Park, towel service, changing rooms, gym, and Wi-Fi. It also includes buffet breakfast, lunch, and a themed dinner at La Terrazza and Kuzina restaurants, plus poolside cocktails and snacks. Access runs from 8am to 9pm.

This package is priced and pitched specifically at cruise-ship passengers docking in Corfu, so it's a premium, meal-heavy option rather than a bare-bones pool pass. If you're not on a cruise itinerary, call the hotel directly to ask whether a cheaper non-cruise day rate exists, since the published price only appears through the cruise booking channel.

Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa

Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa overlooks Benitses on the island's east coast, with an infinity pool and a private beach set against the Ionian Sea.

The hotel runs a dedicated Day Pass for non-guests, giving access to the infinity pool or the private beach with a reserved sunbed, towel, and a bottle of water. It also includes the locker room and complimentary use of the sauna, jacuzzi, and hammam. Pool access starts at 10am in April, May, and October, and shifts to after 3pm during the busier June to September stretch.

Pricing isn't published online, so call ahead to confirm the current rate and check availability, particularly during peak summer months when the resort fills up.

Ikos Dassia

Ikos Dassia sits on Dassia beach, a few kilometers north of Corfu Town, and is one of the island's larger all-inclusive resorts.

Day passes cover beach access, sunbeds, umbrellas, the resort's pools, and a meal, based on guest and cruise-passenger reports rather than a published package name. It's a popular option with cruise-ship day trippers arriving in Corfu Town, since it bundles food with pool and beach time in one purchase.

There's no official day-pass page on the hotel's website, so passes are sold on request rather than booked online. Availability depends on occupancy, and the resort has been known to pause sales when it's full, so call ahead, especially in July and August.

Frequently asked questions

Does Corfu Imperial or Domes Miramare offer a day pass?

No. Neither Corfu Imperial, A Grecotel Resort nor Domes Miramare publishes a day-pass program, despite both having excellent pools and beach setups. Call ahead if you want to ask about informal access, but don't expect a bookable package like the ones at Mar-Bella or Angsana.

Do children pay the same price for a Corfu pool day pass?

Pricing varies by hotel and isn't standardized across Corfu's day-pass venues. Mar-Bella's cruise package is typically sold per person regardless of age, while Angsana and Ikos Dassia set their own child rates, which you'll need to confirm by phone since neither publishes pricing online.

What should I bring to a Corfu hotel pool day pass?

Bring your booking confirmation or printed pass where required (Mar-Bella specifically asks for a printed pass at check-in), a swimsuit, and ID. Towels are provided at all three hotels, so you don't need to pack your own. Sunscreen and a phone charger are worth bringing too, since pool areas can get busy in peak summer.

More pool day passes near Corfu

Corfu's day-pass scene is smaller than what you'll find in Rhodes, where seven venues span budget beach clubs to waterparks. If you want more formal, bookable options with published pricing, Athens and Mykonos both have a wider spread of hotel day passes. See the Greece country page for the full list of cities with pool day pass options.
