The Architecture & Design of Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa

Perched above the Ionian Sea, Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa is a masterpiece of modern Greek island architecture, blending contemporary elegance with natural harmony. Conceived as a sanctuary where nature, culture, and contemporary elegance intertwine, the resort offers a holistic experience inspired by its surroundings, where each space feels connected to the rhythm of the island and the sea.

A Contemporary Vision of Greek Island Architecture

The resort’s architectural narrative captures the essence of Corfu’s Mediterranean charm, combining traditional forms with modern sensibilities. Warm stone, light teak, and expansive glass facades open to breathtaking sea views, creating a dialogue between indoor and outdoor living.

Each of the 37 Ionian pool villas and public spaces celebrates the balance between minimalist luxury and natural beauty, designed to evoke a sense of calm, comfort, and timeless connection to place.

Designed by Rockwell Group: A Blend of Nature and Luxury

The overall design of Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa was envisioned by the acclaimed Rockwell Group (New York) in collaboration with Banyan Group’s in-house design team. Inspired by Corfu’s natural beauty and cultural heritage, the design harmoniously fuses contemporary elegance with local craftsmanship. Airy interiors, warm wood textures, and an open-flow layout invite a constant dialogue between indoor and outdoor spaces, while panoramic sea views frame every guest experience. Each area — from the infinity pool terrace to the intimate dining venues — reflects the philosophy of relaxed sophistication and connection to nature that defines Banyan Group’s vision.

Lighting & Landscaping: Harmony with the Ionian Landscape

The resort’s lighting design, crafted by Focus Lighting (New York), creates an atmosphere that transitions beautifully from sunrise to starlight—highlighting natural textures and architectural details. Landscaping by Doxiades & Associates integrates Mediterranean flora, including olive trees, herbs, and green roofs across 37 villas, echoing Banyan Group’s commitment to sustainability and wellness.

Art & Craftsmanship: The Soul of Angsana Corfu

Every artwork and decorative element was commissioned exclusively for Angsana Corfu. The resort serves as a living gallery celebrating Greek artistry and local craftsmanship.

Notable pieces include:

• Sail, an outdoor sculpture by acclaimed sculptor Dimitris Fortsas.
• A beachside mural by Cacao Rocks (Jason Megoulas), a leading street artist from Athens.
• Boat motif paintings by Antonis Kastrinakis, inspired by Corfu’s maritime heritage.
• The Swimmers series by Diana Iordanidou, adorning the pool level.
• Key lobby artworks by Kris Betta, reflecting the island’s light and vitality.

Local craftsman Manolis Martinis also created bespoke woodwork pieces, including the striking decorative feature at the A-Lounge bar—a true homage to Corfiot tradition.

Sustainable Materials and Inspired Details

Sustainability lies at the heart of Angsana Corfu’s design. The resort uses Burmese massive teak, African iroko wood, and marine-grade materials to ensure durability while maintaining a natural aesthetic.

Future Development

The next phase of the resort’s development will introduce 40 new residential villas across the estate—continuing the legacy of design excellence. These villas will reflect the same architectural DNA of sustainability, wellness, and Mediterranean sophistication that define the Angsana Corfu experience.
