REVIEWS OF HOTEL EXECUTIVE CLUB LOUNGES, KIDS CLUBS AND MORE.
Anyone who has heard about Mykonos probably knows it is a party island. For a long time, this island has been famous for its wild beach clubs where people danced and partied all day and night.
During the pandemic, like everywhere else, things changed. Curfews and rules made the beach clubs quieter and more relaxed. But now that the curfews have long been lifted, you are probably wondering if the beach clubs have maintained the calm and could finally be a place where kids and parents could enjoy together. Read on to find out.
With curfews lifted, many clubs have gone back to their old style. The parties now often last until late at night, especially in famous clubs like Paradise Beach or Super Paradise. DJs come in, music gets loud, and the crowd changes.
While this does not necessarily mean families cannot enjoy beach clubs, you have to be very careful when choosing the time and the club. There are some beach clubs that are still perfect for families, especially during the day.
Not all clubs are about wild parties. Some focus more on food, relaxation, and a luxury beach experience. If you go early, that is, before 5 PM, you will also find that most beach clubs are still calm and relaxed.
You might also want to check out those that offer family services like kid-friendly menus and bigger lounge spaces. Clubs like Ornos Beach or Platis Gialos tend to attract more families.
Check reviews first - If you are not sure about how the beach club operates, the best way to find out is by checking reviews online. Before you book, first check real people's reviews, not just from the beach club’s site, but from travel sites and online forums, and especially look for recent reviews of parents.
Look at the menu - Most places have their main menus online. Check to see if the club offers simple food options that kids will actually eat and enjoy. Kids don’t always enjoy fancy seafood or gourmet dishes, so you might need to check for simple, kid-friendly options.
Ask about facilities - Ask about amenities such as restrooms, showers, and changing areas. Make sure these are clean and well-equipped. Shaded spots or umbrellas are also important for protecting kids from the strong sun. Some clubs even have shallow water areas that are safer for younger children to splash around in.
Avoid the famous party clubs - Clubs like Paradise Beach or Cavo Paradiso are famous for their wild parties. These are great for parents and adults if you are looking to dance all night, but not if you want a quiet family day. Instead, look for less commercial clubs where the focus is on food, swimming, and relaxation.
Go during the day - The best time for families is always in the morning or early afternoon. During these hours, beach clubs are peaceful, the music is soft, and the staff are more focused on serving meals and drinks rather than preparing for parties.
So, whether Mykonos beach clubs are family-friendly now that curfews are lifted depends on the time you visit and the specific beach club you choose.
During the day, many clubs are still welcoming to families. You can relax, swim, eat, and enjoy the beautiful setting without worry. Kids can have fun playing on the beach, and parents can soak up the sun.
Choose beach clubs that are not focused on all-night parties. There are multiple places that are designed to be calmer, with shaded areas, family-friendly menus, and safe swimming spots that make them much easier to enjoy with kids.
