TARKA GOES ABROAD FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH THE PELIGONI
In an exciting collaboration for family holidays in 2024, The Peligoni Club in Zakynthos has partnered with TARKA
From May Half Term 2024, TARKA will be joining The Peligoni Club to host all new kids activities for 6-10 year old’s. With a passion to help children fall in love with being active outdoors in a fun and creative way, TARKA sessions are a total antidote to screen time battles. With real purpose at its core, the new Kids’ Club is designed with well-being in mind to inspire children to build confidence, re-discover imagination and embrace teamwork with new friends – all the while having the time of their lives.
Until now, TARKA has worked exclusively in the UK – running classes at Jaego’s House in Kensal Rise and at Daylesford in the Cotswold’s, among others. The all-new Kids’ Club offering at Peligoni will be TARKA’s first in another country, and an exclusive partnership for the next three years.
Ben Shearer, owner of The Peligoni Club, says: “TARKA’s mission perfectly aligns with Peligoni’s active ethos. Our specialty is creating memorable and purposeful family holidays, so we’re thrilled to share this forward-thinking first-of-its-kind Kids’ Club with our guests.”
Founded by Rufus Gordon-Dean on leaving the Household Cavalry in 2016, the creation of TARKA stems from his love of being active, which he believes is the key to a positive mental state and physical well-being. At a time when so many parents are worried about the dilemmas of children and smartphones, TARKA at Peligoni creates the perfect opportunity for a screen-free holiday.
Children are divided into two groups, The Majors (6-8 years) and The Colonels (9-10 years). Each session has a different theme to keep things fun, engaging and exciting. Activities include The Peligoni Olympics, The Poseidon Pool party and Secret Spy. Followed by a wellness wind down time, at the end of every session, with a focus on breathwork and stretching – a core part of the TARKA experience.
WHAT ELSE IS NEW AT THE PELIGONI CLUB FOR 2024?
