Facilities

Nature is a huge part of Castara’s appeal and the hotel is set in two acres of tropical gardens which offer excellent opportunities for bird and wildlife watching. The beach is just a few minutes’ walk away down a winding footpath and is a great spot for swimming, sunbathing or just getting to know the friendly locals. Castara Bay has a wonderful reef, teeming with life and colour, and the snorkelling here is particularly enjoyable. Castara Retreat’s Wellness Studio runs daily yoga classes, which can be booked on arrival, whilst 1:1 yoga sessions and a range of massage treatments are available on request. For those wanting to get out and about to explore the island, a wide variety of activities can be recommended, such as rainforest walks, birdwatching, diving, snorkelling, bioluminescence paddling boarding, island tours and boat trips.

"If you’re seeking an authentic Caribbean experience, you needn’t look further than Castara Retreats - supporting the local community is an important part of the hotel ethos and guests are encouraged to visit the bars and restaurants in the village and get to know the friendly locals."

"Castara Retreats provides a tranquil refuge for both humans and wildlife - the surrounding area is home to more than 200 species of birds, including boobies, frigate birds and osprey."

"Each of Castara’s apartments and lodges has a unique appeal, but we particularly like the one-bedroom Beachscape - it’s one of the closest to the beach and has fantastic views of Castara Bay from its private terrace."

"Be sure to watch the local fishermen haul their daily catch onto the beach, whilst stingrays gather in the shallow clear waters to catch any fish that get away."

Corfu

"There’s a great range of restaurants; my top tip is book a table at Ouzo for a truly Greek experience. For even more options, we recommend you use the shuttle bus to travel into the old town and dine out at one of the restaurants included in the All-Inclusive plan."

"Definitely look to book some treatments at the world-class Ikos Spa by Anne Semonin, a totally relaxing hideaway - There’s some great shopping to be had in nearby Corfu Old Town, but try to avoid the cruise ship day-trippers so you have the pick of the treasures."

"Upgrading to the Deluxe Collection suites brings with it a range of extra perks, including access to the exclusive beach area and upgraded service and toiletries, as well as minibar amenities.”
