Beach Club Day Bed Prices
in Crete
What a sunbed, a daybed and a cabana really cost.
The verdict
- Typical costRates and any minimum spend move with the season, the beach and the seat, so the venues quote on the day. We hold every figure as to be confirmed rather than guess at a number that will be wrong by the weekend.
- Best value pickLiokalyvo on the vast sands of Falassarna for a cabana and a famous sunset, or Red Havana near Chania for the most polished all day club with a pool and palms.
- One thing to knowJuly and August are the dearest across the island, and the front row and sunset slots cost the most, so a weekday or a shoulder week is a good deal kinder on the bill.

A day on a Crete sunbed can cost anything from the price of a pair of loungers at a simple beach taverna to a serious minimum spend at a headline club, and the gap between the two is wide. The figure depends on the venue, the day of the week, how close you sit to the water and whether you take a plain sunbed, a full daybed or a front row cabana. Crete is a big island with very different scenes, from the polished clubs west of Chania to the party beaches near Rethymno and the simpler spots east toward Heraklion, and the price follows the scene.
Every venue here is a real, established club, from Red Havana near Chania to Liokalyvo out on Falassarna, and the note tells you what shapes the cost at each. Where a club runs on a minimum spend rather than a fixed bed rate we say so, and where we cannot verify a current figure we mark it to be confirmed, because an honest blank beats an invented number. Send a date and party size through the form and the club confirms the real cost of the day you want.
What a day costs, club by club
Real, established venues only. Rates and any minimum spend move sharply with the season and the seat, so we mark them to be confirmed and let the club quote your date. See the full Crete beach club directory for the vibe of each.
| Club | Beach | Sunbed or daybed | Minimum spend | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red Havana | Agia Marina, Chania | To be confirmed | To be confirmed | A polished all day club on the sand at Agia Marina, roughly six kilometres west of Chania, with plush sunbeds and cabanas under a palm backdrop, a heated pool and a water slide for children. It runs on a per person minimum spend applied to food and drink with no time limit. Reserve a cabana in peak summer. |
| Liokalyvo Beach Club | Falassarna | To be confirmed | To be confirmed | A stylish, Mykonos leaning club on the huge open sands of Falassarna in the far west, known for private cabanas, full beach service and one of the best sunsets on the island. Busy and social in high season with summer events. Book ahead for a front cabana in July and August. |
| Cabana Mare | Agia Marina, Chania | To be confirmed | To be confirmed | A smart bar and sunbed terrace at Agia Marina looking across to the islet of Agioi Theodoroi, with private jacuzzis, modern loungers and a good kitchen a short drive from Chania. A comfortable, design led spot for a long, slow beach day near the city. |
| Baja Beach Club | Adelianos Kampos, Rethymno | To be confirmed | To be confirmed | A large organised beach of more than twelve thousand square metres near Rethymno, with a swimming pool, cabanas, restaurants and a run of international DJs through the summer. The most party leaning option here, lively by day and louder as the season peaks. |
| Pleasure Beach Club | Malia | To be confirmed | To be confirmed | A relaxed club on the long sands near Malia on the eastern side toward Heraklion, with comfortable sunbeds you can book for the day. A simpler, easier going choice than the western clubs, handy if you are based around Heraklion or the east coast resorts. |
Why the bill moves so much
Three things move a Crete beach club bill more than anything else. The first is the calendar: July and August are the peak, when beds are scarce and rates and minimum spends climb, while June and September hold the warmth for less. The second is the seat, since a front row cabana or a bed by the water costs far more than a sunbed in the second line, and a sunset slot is dearer again. The third is what is included, because some rates cover only the bed while others fold in service or a food and drink credit.
Geography matters here too, because Crete is really several coasts. The polished clubs west of Chania, at Agia Marina and out on Falassarna, tend to charge for their setting and their sunsets, the organised party beaches near Rethymno lean on a lively scene and a minimum spend, and the simpler eastern spots toward Malia and Heraklion are often gentler on the wallet. Read the model before you sit down, ask whether a venue charges per bed or runs on a minimum spend, and whether that minimum is per person or per group, and you will not be caught out.
Lock in a price before you go
The honest way to avoid a surprise is to ask for the number before you sit down. Pick the venue from the Crete beach club directory, then send a date and party size and the club confirms the real cost of a sunbed, a daybed or a cabana and whether a minimum spend applies. A weekday or a shoulder week is gentler on the bill, and reserving ahead secures both the position and the price on the busy western sands.

Before you go
How much does a beach club day bed cost in Crete?
It varies widely by venue, season and position, from a modest sunbed rate at a simple beach taverna to a high minimum spend at a headline club near Chania in peak August. Because the figures move sharply we do not print a fixed price and instead hold each as to be confirmed, then have the club quote the real cost for your date and party size.
Do Crete beach clubs charge a minimum spend or a bed price?
Both models exist across the island. Some venues charge a straightforward rate per sunbed or daybed, while the busier clubs, including polished spots like Red Havana, run on a minimum spend where the bed is included and you commit to a food and drink total instead. Always ask which model applies and whether the minimum is per person or per group before you settle in.
When are beach clubs cheapest in Crete?
Outside the July and August peak. June and September keep the warm water and the scene with smaller crowds and softer rates, and a weekday is gentler than a weekend at any time. The dearest moments are peak summer weekends and sunset sessions at the front of the most famous western clubs like Liokalyvo on Falassarna.
Which part of Crete has the best beach clubs for the money?
It depends on the day you want. The west around Chania, at Agia Marina and Falassarna, has the most polished clubs and the best sunsets but charges for them, the Rethymno beaches lean party and minimum spend, and the eastern coast toward Malia and Heraklion tends to be simpler and cheaper. Match the coast to the scene and the budget you have in mind.
How do I book a Crete beach club and confirm the price?
Choose a venue from the Crete beach club directory, then send your date, party size and occasion through the form on this page. We pass it to the club so they can confirm availability, the real cost of a bed or cabana and any minimum spend, and some bookings may earn us a commission at no cost to you.
