Beach Service Staff - Ionian Islands, Greece

With the majority of our guests spending most of their day in the club, food and drink are an integral part of their holiday, and our three bars provide something for everyone.

The Beach Service Team run two of our bars as well as taking care of the decks and those on them. They are enthusiastic, passionate about service and fantastic hosts.

BEACH SERVICE

Built into the striking volcanic rock that makes up the island’s northern coastline, our white wooden decks sit metres above the deep blue Ionian sea and are where the Beach Service Team operate. Keeping our guests hydrated, refreshed or maybe a little tipsy during the sun-soaking hours, the Beach Service Team are there on hand to provide a towel after a dip in the sea and ensure our guests don’t have to move a muscle when topping up on some vitamin D.

The Beach Service Team are responsible for the running of two of our bars; The Yard Bar and The Pool Bar.

The Yard Bar, close to the beach, is a buzzing afternoon spot, where guests can let their hair down after a day out on the water or seek some shade after a day soaking up the sun. Our Pool Bar is a great place to hang out at any time of day – guests can swim right up to the bar and enjoy a glass of rose or a cold beer whilst relaxing in the sun and listening to laid back summer sounds.
