The Cavo Bianco Hotel sits directly on the sandy beach at St Peter’s, in the quieter southern end of the Kavos resort area on Corfu. It is worth noting there is also a separate, unrelated boutique property nearby using a similar name, so if you are comparing listings, this is the large family-style beach complex, not the small luxury suites hotel.
With shallow, calm water on the doorstep, kids staying free and a British entertainment team running the daily programme, this is a straightforward, well-priced family beach holiday. Here is the full breakdown.
The beachfront position is the main draw: guests step straight from the grounds onto sand, with shallow water that makes this one of the safer swimming spots on this stretch of Corfu for younger children.
Its location at St Peter’s, in the quieter southern part of Kavos, gives guests genuine peace at the hotel while keeping the resort’s livelier bars and restaurants within easy reach, close to the action without being in the middle of it.
Both kids stay free here too, a straightforward saving that makes a real difference to family holiday budgets.
Double rooms feature a shower, hairdryer, telephone and TV with local and satellite channels, along with a private balcony or terrace. Air conditioning is fitted throughout, though it is payable locally during the peak heat of July and August.
Rooms are simply furnished rather than luxurious, in keeping with the hotel’s straightforward, good-value positioning.
Two children’s pools are available on-site with highchairs provided in the dining areas, useful additions for families with younger children who want a pool option alongside the beach.
Lunch and dinner are served buffet-style in the main restaurant, covering the straightforward international and Greek dishes expected at this style of hotel. It is functional rather than gourmet, suited to families wanting simple, reliable meals without fuss.
A British entertainment team runs daily activities including sports, table tennis, pool table, darts and tennis with equipment available for hire. Evening entertainment covers quizzes, cabaret and karaoke, with two themed nights each week: a BBQ night and a Greek night.
Beach volleyball and watersports are available directly on the beach, though these run under separate management rather than being included in the hotel’s own facilities.
This is primarily a family hotel, and a strong one: shallow safe water, kids’ pools, highchairs, a free-kids policy and a full daily entertainment programme cover the essentials well.
Couples looking for quiet will also find the St Peter’s location genuinely calmer than central Kavos, while still being close enough to walk into the resort’s livelier bars when they want to.
St Peter’s sits at the southern, quieter end of Kavos, Corfu’s most famous resort for younger crowds and nightlife. The hotel’s position here means genuine peace at the property itself, with the nearest bar 200 metres away and the resort centre around 600 metres.
A local bus service runs from directly outside the hotel to Corfu Town, making a day trip into the island’s historic capital straightforward without a hire car.
St Peter’s beach — directly in front of the hotel, sandy with shallow entry water.
Kavos resort centre — around 600 metres away, with the resort’s bars, clubs and restaurants for evenings out.
Corfu Town — a UNESCO World Heritage old town with Venetian architecture, reachable by local bus directly from the hotel.
Cape Asprokavos — the southernmost tip of Corfu, a short drive away, with dramatic cliff views over the Ionian Sea.
Lake Korission — a coastal lagoon and nature reserve a short drive north, popular for birdwatching and quiet walks.
Corfu Airport is around 45 minutes to an hour from Kavos by transfer coach, at the opposite end of the island. Direct flights from the UK in summer take around three hours.
Once at the hotel, most of what you need, beach, bars, restaurants, is within easy walking distance, and the local bus covers Corfu Town for anyone without a hire car.

Kavos has a shorter, more concentrated season than many Greek resorts, running roughly from May to October, with July and August the peak weeks for both weather and crowds. June and September offer warm seas and a noticeably calmer resort atmosphere.
Corfu’s climate is greener and slightly cooler than the Greek islands further south and east, which keeps the island’s countryside lush and is part of why day trips inland are so rewarding here.
Greece uses the euro, and a UK two-pin adapter is needed for charging devices. Sun cream and a hat matter as much here as anywhere in the Mediterranean, particularly for children spending long days at the beach and pools.
A hire car is useful for exploring the quieter south of Corfu and Corfu Town properly, though the local bus service from directly outside the hotel makes a day trip to the capital straightforward without one.
Mornings on the beach directly in front of the hotel suit most families, with the shallow water particularly good for younger children, while the two kids’ pools provide a change of scenery when needed. A short walk covers the nearest bars and restaurants for lunch.
Evenings bring the hotel’s own entertainment programme, quizzes, cabaret and the weekly BBQ and Greek nights, with the livelier Kavos resort centre a ten-minute walk away for anyone wanting more.
Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site with Venetian, French and British architectural influences layered through its old town, is a highlight for anyone spending more than a beach week on the island. The local bus service from outside the hotel makes this an easy independent day trip.
Paxos and Antipaxi, two small islands south of Corfu, are reachable by day-trip boat from Kavos harbour and offer a quieter, clearer-water contrast to the main resort, worth considering for a change of scenery mid-holiday.
Greek taverna staples, moussaka, souvlaki, Greek salad and fresh grilled fish, are widely available throughout Kavos and St Peter’s, with the hotel’s own buffet covering the basics well for guests who prefer to eat in. Local wine and ouzo are the classic accompaniments for anyone wanting to eat like a local.
The weekly Greek night at the hotel is a good introduction to the cuisine for anyone not planning to venture far from the resort during their stay.
| May | 20–24°C, green and lush after spring rains, quieter resort |
| Jun–Sept | 25–30°C, warm sea, peak season July/August |
