Located right in the middle of Corfu, Aghios Ioannis is an ideal spot for anyone looking for a dash of traditional Greece. It’s all stone cottages, churches and lush olive groves. It’s the sort of place you can while away the mornings sipping coffee with the locals in the quaint old square. And you’ve got a choice of beaches on the east or west coasts.

The Aqualand Resort is home to one of Corfu’s biggest waterparks, and it’s getting a swish new look for summer 2025.

Everything here revolves around the waterpark. It stretches out for over 75,000 square metres, has 49 slides and boasts the world’s third-biggest wave pool. Its other highlights include a lazy river, a pirate-themed splash park and a spa.

There’s plenty for foodies to enjoy here, too. The main restaurant’s an international buffet number that offers things like homemade pizza, and there’s another themed eatery in the waterpark. Elsewhere, an ice-cream parlour and three bars – including a rooftop option – serve snacks and cocktails throughout the day.

Just so you know, the waterpark is fully open from May 12th to October 6th, weather dependent. From May 1st until May 11th and October 7th until October 31st the park is partially open, and not all of the slides are in operation. The following rides that are open during this period are:

• The Extreme Tower with six slides (including the Family rafting 180m for over 8+ year olds and Deep blue kayak for over 8+ year olds
• Baby pool for ages 0-8 years old
• Bump racers for ages 8+ years old
• Tornado for ages 8+ years old
• Catapult for over 8+ years old
• Free fall 24m high for ages 12+ years old

There are some age restrictions to be aware of for the slides, too. The larger free fall slides have a minimum age restriction of 12 years, while some other rides have a minimum age restriction of 4 years, and some of 8 years. The pirate-themed mini slides have a minimum age restriction of 4 years.

Mobility information – This accommodation only has one lift within the complex, and this is to access the entertainment area located on the rooftop. There are only a few apartments on the ground floor but they are not suitable for wheelchair access. The larger apartments are on the upper floors but only have access via stairs.
