The Aristocratic Onassis Heritage in Corfu
Originally created in the late 1960s by Aristotle Onassis to host his cosmopolitan circle of international heads of state, artists, and film icons—including Jackie Onassis and Maria Callas—Domes Miramare today stands completely reborn as an adults-only sanctuary on Corfu’s eastern coastline.
The resort grounds are defined by an extraordinary natural grove of ancient, gnarled olive trees, some carbon-dated to more than 400 years old. Low-rise modernist pavilions in white stone, Greek marble, and pale timber are arranged so that almost every bedroom enjoys immediate views over the calm, ripple-free waters of the Ionian Sea toward the Greek mainland.
Haute Living Selection & Private Waterfront Living
For the most discerning guests, the resort’s Haute Living Selection features private waterfront villas and pavilion suites with dedicated swimming pools, bespoke check-in, 24/7 dedicated concierge service, and unlimited access to the VIP Haute Living Room stocked with top-tier Greek wines and artisanal canapés.
Interiors are decorated with museum-grade contemporary sculpture and artwork curated by renowned Greek art foundations, paired with muted earth tones, brushed copper fixtures, and bespoke linen upholstery.
Gastronomy at Makris by Chef Petros Dimas
The hotel’s culinary flagship, Makris Fine Dining, is led by multi-award-winning Chef Petros Dimas. Drawing upon ingredients cultivated in the hotel’s own organic micro-farm, dishes highlight the rich Venetian-Corfiot culinary cross-currents: pastitsada reimagined with aged wagyu, fresh Ionian sea urchin risotto, and kumquat-infused chocolate delicacies.
The seaside Raw Bar provides an intimate open-air setting for champagne, fresh sashimi, and artisan sushi prepared live by master sushi chefs.
