Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of Wyndham Corfu Acharavi, a new beachfront resort located in the charming coastal village of Acharavi on the northern coast of Corfu. The opening marks Wyndham’s first namesake hotel on the island, one of Greece’s most sought-after year-round destinations. The property has been developed in collaboration with Mercan Group, one of Europe’s leading hotel developers.

Set along a picturesque seven-kilometre-long sandy beach, Wyndham Corfu Acharavi offers uninterrupted views of the Ionian Sea, framed by lush greenery and dramatic sunsets. Its location combines peaceful seafront living with easy access to the village centre, allowing guests to enjoy both tranquillity and authentic local experiences.

“The Emerald Isle of Corfu stands among the Mediterranean’s most exceptional destinations,” said Vassilis Themelidis, Regional Director, South & East Europe, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Situated on one of the island’s longest beaches, Wyndham Corfu Acharavi marks an exciting milestone as our first namesake hotel in Corfu. As our portfolio grows to 15 hotels across Greece and Cyprus, our partnership with Mercan Group strengthens our presence in a market with strong long-term potential.”

The resort features 163 thoughtfully designed rooms, suites and apartments, with plans to add over 100 additional premium rooms in the coming months. Select accommodations include private plunge pools, offering enhanced privacy and comfort for leisure travellers.

Dining at the resort is designed to cater to diverse tastes, with Theos Main Restaurant offering live-cooking stations and buffet dining, while Olive Specialty Restaurant presents a contemporary take on the traditional Greek taverna. Additional cafés and snack bars serve both poolside and beachfront areas, ensuring guests enjoy all-day dining options.

Wellness and recreation are central to the guest experience. Facilities include a full-service spa with sauna and treatment rooms, a fully equipped gym, two outdoor swimming pools, a children’s pool, a tennis court and a dedicated children’s playground. The resort also offers private parking, a mini market featuring local products, and access to nearby activities such as cycling routes, sea excursions and scenic hiking trails.

With excellent air and sea connectivity to mainland Greece and neighbouring islands, Corfu serves both as a standalone destination and a gateway to the wider Ionian region.

Speaking on the collaboration, a Mercan Group representative noted that the opening of Wyndham Corfu Acharavi marks the beginning of a long-term partnership with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, with plans to further enhance the property and meet growing demand as travel seasons continue to extend across the Mediterranean.

With its beachfront setting, family-friendly facilities and strong sense of place, Wyndham Corfu Acharavi is positioned as an inviting choice for travellers seeking a relaxed Greek island escape throughout the year.

Kanchenjunga, standing tall at 8,586 metres, is not only the highest peak in India but also the third-highest mountain in the world. A symbol of pride, awe, and natural grandeur, the mountain continues to captivate travellers from across the globe. Sterling Darjeeling offers guests a rare opportunity to experience uninterrupted views of this iconic peak, placing the mountain at the heart of the stay experience.

Located atop Ghoom, the highest point in Darjeeling, Sterling Darjeeling provides what can best be described as a ringside view of the Kanchenjunga range. Guests are increasingly drawn to the resort for its thoughtfully designed vantage points that allow them to observe the mountain’s ever-changing moods throughout the day. The resort’s restaurant, Delicacy, is one such space where families and groups can come together to enjoy panoramic views while dining in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

The resort places a strong emphasis on shared experiences that foster connection and togetherness. Guests can begin their mornings with breakfast served on the lawns, soaking in sweeping views of Kanchenjunga as the day unfolds. High tea by the viewpoint offers another memorable moment, set against Darjeeling’s calm mountain backdrop, encouraging guests to pause, unwind, and immerse themselves in nature.

While select rooms at Sterling Darjeeling also offer views of the Kanchenjunga range, the resort’s focus remains on open, accessible spaces designed for guests of all ages. These shared areas invite travellers to connect with both nature and one another, complemented by Sterling’s signature warm hospitality and comfortable stay experience.

Commenting on the offering, Mr. Harinath M., Senior Vice President – Marketing, Sterling Holiday Resorts, said, “Kanchenjunga is not just a mountain, it is a landmark that defines the spirit of Darjeeling and India. At Sterling Darjeeling, we have consciously created shared spaces where guests can experience these celebrated Kanchenjunga views together, at different points of the day. As a brand with a wide presence across leisure destinations in India, Sterling remains committed to delivering experiences that are rooted in the destination and memorable for families.”

With its elevated location, destination-inspired experiences, and focus on togetherness, Sterling Darjeeling continues to strengthen its position as a preferred mountain retreat for travellers seeking comfort, connection, and unforgettable views of one of India’s most celebrated natural wonders.
