OCTOBER HALF TERM

Make summer last that little bit longer

Children in red life jackets sit along a floating wooden pontoon in a rocky cove while an instructor stands ready to assist, with a beach club's white umbrellas, loungers, and stone steps visible on the shoreline behind them.
There’s something special about October half term at Peligoni. Even though the focus is firmly on families, the tone is undeniably calmer than the main school-holiday months of July & August. We like to think of it as a gentle summer swansong to round off the season. The temperatures soften and families can enjoy all the charms of The Club without the peak-season crowds (or the peak-season prices). Best of all, it’s the last chance to draw out summer before winter arrives in full swing back at home – without missing out on Halloween celebrations.
Children play on a soapy slip-and-slide laid across artificial grass in a walled garden, with one girl mid-slide in the foreground and a staff member spraying a hose to keep the mat wet.
A quiet cliffside deck area with three cream umbrellas shading wooden loungers overlooks the sea, a diving platform with a lone swimmer standing at its edge visible on the rocky outcrop below against a hazy horizon.Guests dance and celebrate at a Halloween-themed evening event under a marquee decorated with white ribbon streamers, hanging pumpkin lanterns, and coloured stage lighting, with costumed partygoers including a pirate hat visible among the crowd.

Seasonal celebrations & a weather-proofed courtyard


As the sun sets, our Courtyard comes alive. And we're ready for anything; with the tent up, our programme of evening events continues whatever the weather, bringing families together over open-fire feasts, an evening of raucous plate smashing, and our communal food festival. 


And we don’t forget about Halloween either! Bringing a touch of seasonal magic and mischief, our Halloween party encourages fancy dress, themed activities, and one final celebration to round off the week – and the season.


Sun-warmed waters in the pool & the sea


One of the greatest joys of visiting in October is discovering just how much summer remains. The sea is still wonderfully warm from months of sunshine, and pool heating mean swimming remains firmly on the agenda for guests of every age. Many of our villas also offer pool heating, meaning families can make the most of every last sunny afternoon.

Tailor-made activities for every age


Whether your kids are toddlers, teens, or somewhere in-between, age-tailored activities keep our youngest guests busy and social all week long, from Wingfoiling 101 to our dedicated TARKA evening party.

And what can parents do while all of that’s going on? That’s entirely up to you! Try out watersports, keep active with some tennis, or take the chance to switch off and indulge in some ‘me time’. There’s nothing more relaxing than knowing the whole family is having the kind of holiday they'll remember long after the school term begins again.


Softer temperatures for active days


While summer is made for lazy days beside the sea, October brings ideal conditions for those of you looking to get moving. The cooler temperatures are the perfect excuse to hop on a bike and explore the island on two wheels, join a group tennis session on the courts, or start your day with some waterfront yoga. This is the time of year to fully embrace the active side of Peligoni, and to balance your downtime with a hearty boost of endorphins.

Children in red life jackets paddleboard and kayak together on open sea, with two sailing dinghies with lime-green sails visible in the distance and calm blue water stretching to the horizon.
Guests relax on cushioned sun loungers along a whitewashed timber sundeck lined with furled cream umbrellas, with a lush green hillside dotted with villas and a turquoise cove visible beyond the rocky coastline.

It's summer, stretched a little longer...
