For families who love the sea, sport, and a sense of adventure, Peligoni in Zakynthos is the place to be this summer

With its laid-back, barefoot atmosphere, Peligoni is designed for both kids and adults. While children can dive into a full programme of activities from just 4 months old, parents can try their hand at different watersports, unwind with yoga, or indulge in a long rosé-fuelled lunch by the sea. Evenings bring everyone together for delicious long-table feasts, live music, Greek dancing and family fun.

New for 2026, guests can learn from Olympic athletes through exclusive masterclasses, take to the floor with Pineapple Dance Studios, and try new watersports together as a family with flexible taster sessions designed for all levels.

The crèche also welcomes a new residency from award-winning children’s food brand LUNE & WILD, while teen skincare brand Spots & Stripes will host hands-on workshops throughout the summer.

Meanwhile, a collection of newly launched villas offers some of the most exciting places to stay on the island - with limited availability remaining for peak season.

Here’s what to expect over the school holidays.
