Historic Beachfront Investment Property In Benitses, Corfu

Located in the heart of Benitses, one of Corfu’s fastest-growing luxury destinations, this exceptional 240 m² historic stone building occupies a prime absolute beachfront position and offers outstanding redevelopment potential. Requiring full renovation, the property presents a rare opportunity to create a landmark residential or hospitality project in one of the island’s most sought-after waterfront locations.

Rich in history and character, the building was the first hotel established outside Corfu Town and the first hotel to operate in Benitses. In 1969, it welcomed Sir Paul McCartney along with other notable international visitors, playing an important role in the early development of tourism in the area.

The property is ideally suited for a luxury beachfront restaurant, boutique hotel, exclusive beach club, or the creation of three luxury seafront maisonettes of approximately 90 m² each (subject to the necessary planning approvals). It also represents an excellent opportunity for developers through redevelopment or a joint venture.

Benitses continues to attract significant investment, driven by its modern marina, luxury hotels, high-end residential developments, and the nearby Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa, making this an outstanding long-term investment opportunity.
