There’s nothing more emblematic of the Mediterranean than a grove of olive trees where the branches catch the breeze, their leaves sprinkled with the salty spray of the sea. Olive oil is not only a key ingredient in the local diet, and credited with increasing longevity, but it’s also in soaps and cosmetics, and can even be used for candles and lamps. The developers of the Olivar Suites in Corfu, Greece, recognize the ubiquity of the olives, their oil, and the trees, and have not only captured it in the hotel’s branding but in every element of its design.
The focal point of Olivar Suites is an 18th century olive oil mill looking out across Messonghi Beach on the southeast coast of Corfu island.
