Labranda Sandy Beach Resort
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
Agios Georgios South has the beach that Corfu's family reputation is built on: a long golden strand that shelves so gently you can walk a small child out a long way and still be in shallow water. Labranda Sandy Beach sits directly on it, with three large pools, a dedicated waterslide pool, a kids club, mini disco, cinema and playground. It is a big, friendly, unpolished machine, and the beach is the reason to book it.
Our verdict
Book it for the beach, which is arguably the best family sand on the island, and treat the pools and slides as a bonus. Accept the token system and the busy water and you get a lot of holiday for the money.
The rooms
A vast four-star estate laid out along the beach, with rooms and family rooms in low blocks through the grounds. Family rooms sleep four without drama and are clean rather than stylish. The site is big enough that your block genuinely determines your week, so ask for something between the pools and the sand.

🗓️A day here with kids
- 8:30
Breakfast
Then straight to the beach. The sand is emptier than the pools all week.
- 10:00
Beach, not pool
You came for this beach. The pools will still be there at 15:00.
- 13:00
Lunch and tokens
Get in the habit: cup back, token back. It is annoying and it is the system.
- 15:00
Slide pool
Busy and full of inflatables, but this is what they will talk about at home.
- 21:00
Mini disco or concert
Live music most nights. Loud, cheerful, and finished at a civilised hour.
Family things to do nearby
The long shallow beach
The gentle slope means a four year old can stand a very long way out. Widely considered one of the safest beaches on Corfu.
Kids cinema
An indoor, air-conditioned hour when the sun is at its worst. Underrated and genuinely useful in August.
Beach watersports
Various operators on the sand. Prices are separate from the all-inclusive, so agree the cost before anyone gets in a boat.
Is it right for your kids?
Baby
0 to 1 yr
The beach is the asset: shallow, sandy and calm. The site is large and the resort is loud, so expect a compromise on naps.
Toddler
1 to 3 yrs
This is the beach people mean when they say Corfu is good for toddlers. Paddle pool on site, and the sea shelves so gently it barely counts as swimming.
Kid
4 to 11 yrs
Slide pool, mini disco, cinema, playground and watersports. Just verify the mini club hours on arrival rather than assuming.
Teen
12 yrs and up
Watersports and live concerts help, but the resort is remote and the surrounding village is small. Fine for a week, thin for two.

Parents also ask
Is the beach really that good for small children?
Yes. Agios Georgios South is known for an exceptionally long golden beach that slopes very gently into warm shallow water, which is why it is the standard family recommendation for the south-west coast.
What is the token system?
All-inclusive drinks are served against a plastic token: you hand it over, get a reusable cup, and return the cup to get the token back. It works, but it is the thing guests grumble about most.
Is there a proper kids club?
There is one, along with a mini disco and cinema, but reviews genuinely conflict on how many hours it runs. Some families rave about it, others say it only opens briefly. Confirm on arrival.
How far is Corfu Town?
About 35km, but on Corfu that means an hour of winding road each way. Treat Corfu Town as one planned day out with a hire car, not a casual afternoon.

Ikos Dassia
Rooms and suites spread through mature gardens running down to the sea, most with a balcony or terrace. Family rooms and two-bedroom suites give you a door to close at 8pm, and the bungalow suites with private garden or pool are the ones parents of toddlers keep rebooking. Cots, bottle sterilisers and bath supports are free on request, but ask early because stock is finite.

Roda Beach Resort & Spa
A big estate of low buildings and bungalows spread across gardens at the island's northern tip. Family rooms and bungalows sleep four comfortably; some are a genuine walk from the main pool and restaurant, so ask for something central if you have a toddler who naps. Standard rooms are functional rather than smart, and the newer refurbished blocks are noticeably better.

Canvas by Mitsis Messonghi
A very large beachfront estate between Moraitika and Messonghi villages, with rooms in low blocks and bungalows through the gardens. Family rooms take four; ask for one near the pools, because this site is long and the walk back for a forgotten armband is a real one. Rooms are comfortable and unremarkable, which at this price is the right trade.
