Family Hotels in Corfu with Tennis Courts
5 family-friendly hotels with tennis in Corfu . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Corfu's bigger family resorts were mostly built in the 70s and 80s, when a tennis court was as standard as a swimming pool. The result is a quiet glut of well-kept hard courts and clay courts on the island, often with floodlights, occasional resident pros, and rackets to borrow at reception. The five hotels below all have at least one full court on site, plus the kids clubs, beach access and family-room layouts that make a week with juniors workable.
Corfu's tennis culture is unfussy. You don't need whites, you don't need to book three days ahead, and nobody minds if you cut a set short because the kid wants to swim. Most resorts let you book the court online when you book the room, which beats the lottery of asking at check-in. The mix of British, German and Italian guests means doubles partners are usually around if you ask the activities desk.
🎾Why Corfu Suits Tennis-Playing Families
Court variety: Corfu hotels range from single hard courts at smaller properties to multi-court complexes with floodlights at Aeolos and Kontokali Bay. Surfaces are typically hard or synthetic clay, holding up well in the Greek summer heat.
Junior tennis: three of the five resorts run organised junior coaching during peak season. Group sizes stay small (4-6), and the morning-only schedule means kids are off the court before midday, with the rest of the day for the pool.
Family logistics: tennis week packages aren't standard in Corfu the way they are in Croatia, but ad-hoc lessons cost 30-40 euros for an hour with a pro. Equipment hire (rackets, balls) is included at all five hotels listed below.
Parent's take
A tennis-playing mum we spoke to plays Roda Beach every June with two pre-teens. Her summary: book the courts the moment your room is confirmed, choose a resort where the courts aren't 200 metres from the kids pool, and pack proper shoes. The five below meet those needs without trying too hard.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Corfu with tennis, sorted by guest rating.
Kontokali Bay Resort & Spa
Kontokali
Wonderful
748 reviews
The premium pick on this list. Kontokali Bay sits on its own private sandy beach on the northeast coast, 6km from Corfu Town. Kids' club runs ages 4-12 with indoor and outdoor areas. Two pools (one for kids), tennis courts, a full spa, and baby safety gates throughout. Four restaurants, including a beachside taverna.

€625/night
Why families love Kontokali Bay Resort & Spa
At 625 EUR/night this is the most expensive hotel on our list, and it earns it. The private beach is genuinely sandy, the kids' club is well-staffed (our daughter asked to go back every day), and the grounds are beautiful without feeling stuffy. The beachside taverna served the best grilled octopus we had on the island. What justified the price for us was the small touches: baby gates provided without asking, kids' pool kept at a warmer temperature, and staff who remembered our names by day two. If you can swing it, this is the best family beach hotel in Corfu.
Aeolos Beach Resort
Gastouri
Wonderful
1,091 reviews
Aeolos Beach is Corfu's highest-rated all-inclusive family resort, with 5 restaurants, 4 bars, and a kids club for ages 4-12 that runs daily during peak season. The all-inclusive covers branded cocktails, specialty restaurant dinners, watersports equipment, and a free 15-minute spa massage per adult. The beachfront location in Gastouri faces east, so mornings are sunny and afternoons get pleasant shade from the hillside behind.

€682/night
Why families love Aeolos Beach Resort
This is the resort where we stopped worrying about money entirely. Cocktails, ice cream, snorkelling gear, tennis courts, padel, the kids club, all included. Our kids spent mornings at the mini-club doing crafts and beach games, giving us two hours of quiet by the pool. The evening animation show was genuinely fun, not cringe-worthy, and the mini-disco had our 5 and 8-year-old dancing until bedtime. Dinner at the Ionion restaurant one evening felt like a proper taverna experience, not institutional hotel food. At 682 EUR a night it is the priciest on our list, but you would easily spend that on food and activities separately at a non-inclusive resort.
Almyros Beach Resort & Spa
Acharavi
Wonderful
988 reviews
A 5-star resort on Almyros beach, one of Corfu's longest sandy stretches. The kids' club runs daily activities for ages 4-12, there's a dedicated children's pool, and the private beach section has calm, shallow water. The spa is a bonus for parents who need a break.

€400/night
Why families love Almyros Beach Resort & Spa
Almyros Beach was the sweet spot between resort luxury and actually being on a great beach. The sand here is fine and the water stays shallow for a good 30 metres out, so we relaxed while the kids played. The kids' club took our 7-year-old for the morning, freeing us up for the spa. Evening entertainment was low-key but enough to keep everyone happy. The only downside: the buffet restaurant gets crowded at peak dinner time, so arrive before 7pm or after 8:30pm.

A large 5-star resort on Roda's long sandy beach, with six pools (including a kids' section), a kids' club for ages 4-12, games room, tennis courts, and a full spa. The private beach area has fine sand and shallow water, and all-inclusive packages are available.
From
€405/night
Why families love Roda Beach Resort & Spa
Roda Beach is the kind of resort where you could easily spend a full week without leaving. The kids' club kept our 5-year-old busy every morning, the beach is sandy and very shallow (she could walk out 20 metres), and having six pools meant we never struggled for space even in peak July. The all-inclusive option is worth considering: drinks add up fast in Corfu, and having everything covered made the holiday feel properly relaxing. The spa was a lifesaver after a few long beach days.
MarBella Corfu
Agios Ioannis Peristeron
Excellent
320 reviews
MarBella has the most impressive playground setup on the island: a **large shaded playground** with swings, slides, climbing frame, and roundabout, plus a separate indoor soft play area. The resort also runs a baby club, kids' club (ages 4-12), and a teens' club, making it one of the few Corfu hotels that covers all age groups.

€783/night
Why families love MarBella Corfu
This is the splurge option and it shows. The playground is huge, properly shaded, and our kids had it to themselves most mornings. The indoor play room has soft mats, a small climbing structure, and air conditioning that felt like heaven after the beach. Five restaurants means you never eat the same thing twice. At 783 EUR/night it hurts, but if you have kids spanning toddler to pre-teen, nothing else on the island covers all ages this well.
💡Practical Tips for Booking a Tennis Resort
- 1Book court time when you book the room, not at check-in. Most resorts let you reserve courts online, and morning slots between 8 and 10 fill up first because that's when the heat is bearable for full sets.
- 2Pick a hotel where the tennis courts are visible from the pool deck or main bar. It sounds trivial until you've tried watching one kid swim while the other plays singles 200 metres away.
- 3Bring proper shoes. Most pro shops sell rackets and balls but rarely have shoes in junior sizes, and any decent court won't let you play in trainers with deep tread.
- 4Book one lesson early in the week, even for casual players. A 45-minute session with the resident pro fixes the kid's grip before the rust of the school year sets in, and it's usually 25-35 euros.
- 5Check the floodlights before you book. Mid-July afternoon courts hit 35 degrees plus, so an evening doubles slot under floodlights is often the only realistic family-foursome option.
