Three words for tired parents planning their one holiday of the year that must, against all odds of air strikes, lost luggage and tantrums over melty sticks, be entirely perfect: The Peligoni Club. Other family resorts promise a “home away from home” ethos, but the draw of the north Zakynthos coastal nook is that guests actually get their own bolthole. More specifically, one of a smattering of sea-view villas dotted among the winding hills at the island’s edge. A stone’s throw away from the beach club itself, groups can pop in and out of the paddle-boarding sessions and happy hours before retreating back to their base, where the whitewashed walls and wicker furniture even make an explosion of Uno cards and Toomies eggs look photogenic.
Even better? You don’t really want to pack your Liewood and Little Dutch, as the Petit Peligoni service offers rental kits, from the Bathtime Box, which includes the essentials of Stokke, Munchkin, and Nuthrough, to the Playtime Box, which provides enough ELC treats to entertain people of all ages. which has drastically reduced the number of Trunkis dragged around Gatwick. Special details, such as the much-publicized bed linen for cribs, are added free of charge. (with the nearby Peli Deli promising pink at the time of pickup), book your return tour.

If Peligoni can pull off the most unlikely when designing a child’s room, then the rest of the interiors, from the spa set in tumultuous bougainvillea to the noisier seating platforms that snake along the cliff (the members-only front ensures there are no chairs in the living room). Policy. at Dawn), are as organized as social media suggests. Think of it as a combination of Soho Farmhouse and beachfront Oakley Court, but with the added perks of being able to get away from the crowds of Whispering Angel and spritzes through your own infinity. swimming pool. Staying at Menta, a sublime villa overlooking the port of Agios Nikolaos, you will find it difficult to get out of the jacuzzi, while the daily replenishment of the basics (sparkling water, lighter for frying fish) through a discreet collaborator of Etheria Villas organization will really make you happy. They’re ready for the week.

Other vital business issues to consider for concerned parents: Pelipassni is a 45-minute drive from Zakynthos Airport. This reduces the risk of youngsters wasting it entirely during a long move after a complicated flight powered by Pringles and Peppa Pig. The hotel’s kids’ club states that parents will need to be close to the nursery at all times, to facilitate an excursion to a shipwreck on a beautiful beach or charter the club’s Odyssey yacht for part of the day. This is not unusual in giant resorts. It’s also unimaginable to have your own resource person, who will go out of his way to pick you up after Mikro Nisi’s drunken lunches, and a babysitter, who will whip up a new pack of Huggies for you when you unfathomably run out.
