Beach Club Playbook: Beds, Shade and Seamless Days

Pick the right bay, secure shade and keep a flexible route.

Start with wind

A good beach day begins with the bay, not the brand. We start with wind and water, pair that with the mood you want, and only then choose a venue. When the meltemi pushes from the north, the south draws the line between a bracing dip and glassy, kid‑friendly water. On calmer days, you can trade shelter for scenery or energy.

Booking that breathes

In August and on weekends, we pencil beds three to five days ahead with clear notes on shade and row; mid‑week in shoulder season, a day or two is plenty. Requests are specific - row, orientation, proximity to the water - so you don’t spend the first hour negotiating a swap on the sand.

Day‑of pivots

A driver on standby shrinks the island: a late breakfast becomes an early swim; a loud lunch becomes a quiet cove; sunset slides west without a parking scramble. Share a rough budget and preferred vibe and we’ll set expectations with the venue so bills arrive as expected.
