Overview
The antidote to the one-size-fits-all approach, Peligoni caters to a laid-back crowd seeking an independent family holiday with unbeatable childcare. There’s no accommodation on-site – instead, families can choose from a hand-picked selection of properties in the surrounding countryside, from traditional hillside cottages to sprawling seafront villas. There’s something to suit everyone’s taste, whether you’re a family of four or a group of 20, and guests can enjoy the privacy of a villa holiday alongside all the activities on offer at The Club itself. Back at Peligoni, you’ll find sprawling sun decks, a variety of restaurants, thrilling watersports options, and a highly coveted crèche and kids’ entertainment programme, with childcare for under sixes available all summer long. During half-term weeks and summer holidays, Peligoni partners with TARKA, a London-based children’s exercise company, to provide an extensive range of activities focused on movement and making friends. As the children are entertained, parents can try out cycling and tennis, enjoy a session in the spa, or simply relax in the sun – it’s all about balance, and guests can dip in and out of Club activities as much as they like. Special feast evenings cater to all ages, where guests of every generation can mingle with new-found friends. Or, if you fancy a night to yourselves, CRB-checked babysitters can come to your villa and take over childcare for the evening

The kids facilities on offer at Peligoni were better than our daughter's nursery at home to be honest! It totally lived up to the hype. It’s a unique proposition, chic and child friendly. It seems to be world famous this year, everyone you know will know someone who has been. There is a good reason for that. I am already trying to work out how to convince my husband to book again
Worth waking the baby for
01
Watersports
Located on a coastal Greek island nook Peligoni is a world class destination for watersports. Choose from paddleboarding and kayaking to windsurfing, wakeboard and more. Kids can learn to sail with expert instructors, whilst adults can get certified in powerboat driving
02
Agios Nikolaos Village
A small fishing port set in a beautiful bay a short stroll from the club. The locally loved tavernas serve up fresher than fresh fish and superb seafood
03
Shipwreck beach
Go snorkelling in the blue caves near Shipwreck Beach, one of the most photographed in Greece. Accessible only by sea, the towering limestone cliffs frame the famed sand swept boat. The shores are sugar sweet and the waters crystal clear
Reviews from other parents
Finding a holiday with babes under 18 months that ticks all our boxes for logistical necessities, atmosphere and food can be quite stressful. But, the Peligoni Club certainly did that and more, not only can you preorder baby boxes for your villa but they have a service where you can have shopping stocked in your fridge on arrival! A relief for any parent travelling with under 2s! The on-site crèche was incredible and all evening babysitters were staff from the crèche which was an added bonus! The club's food offering is fantastic, especially for kids, but for a real authentic Greek experience the local eateries are second to none and worth pre-booking in advance. I highly recommend the Art Cafe, The Old Windmill and Mikro Nisi. We came away refreshed, relaxed and ready to book our next stay!

When it comes to travelling abroad, Greece is a firm favourite; short flight times and so many beautiful islands to choose from.We’ve been going for many years and have always loved Peligoni, and love it just as much now we’re a family and had Willow with us. Whilst the creche offering is wonderful (such a great space and set up for them), and most babies were there, we actually kept Willow with us. Spending time at the pool (which is the most child friendly sun and swim spot) and in the club itself, where the catering options are great for children of all ages
