Malia Hen Holidays 2025

Malia turns up the heat from May to September—starting around 24°C and peaking at a sizzling 32°C mid-summer. The sun’s fierce, so don’t skimp on the suncream unless you’re aiming for the lobster look by day two. Cute sunnies? Absolute must. Not just for the pics at Agenda Beach Club, but so you’re not squinting through every catch-up and cocktail. Hydrate (yes, actual water—not just prosecco), and pack some aloe vera in case you end up having a cheeky nap in the sun. Look after yourself, keep it glam, and save some stamina—because the Malia Booze Cruise? That one’s legendary and definitely not for the faint-hearted.

• Oasis Studios (4/5): Adults-only and right on The Strip, perfect for lads who want to be in the thick of the nightlife. Features a pool and hot tub for chilling between parties. Expect some noise from the late-night crowds.
• Sarpidon Apartments (4/5): Located in Malia’s Old Town, offering spacious apartments and a peaceful vibe. Great if you want to relax by the pool during the day before hitting the bars.
• Happy Days Studios (4/5): A social spot close to the beach and nightlife, with two pools and a lively bar. Ideal for meeting other travelers and keeping the party going.

Malia Beach is the go-to for girls who want the best of both worlds. Cheap cocktails, chilled vibes, and plenty of space to unwind when you need a breather. Feeling adventurous? You’ve got jet skis, paddleboarding, and even flyboarding (if you’re feeling bold) to spice things up. Rough morning? No worries—there are loads of sunbeds and shady spots to recover in style. The clear blue water is perfect for those Insta-worthy snaps too. Don’t miss Pleasure Beach Club—fab drinks, great tunes, and a party atmosphere that brings the beach to life.

Malia’s party season kicks off in May and peaks from June to August, when the weather is blazing hot (we’re talking 28-33°C) and the clubs are rammed with partygoers. July is when it’s absolutely heaving, with a buzzing atmosphere you won’t forget. Fancy a slightly quieter scene? Early June or September still brings the heat and the vibes, without the full-on crowds.

• Drinks: €2-€5 for beers and spirits, while cocktails go for €6-€10. Pre-drinks from the supermarket? Even cheaper.
• Food: Gyros and kebabs for around €3-€5, and a decent sit-down meal for €10-€20. Perfect for lining your stomach.
• Clubbing Tickets: €10-€30 depending on the night and the DJ. An events package such as our Essentials events package, (boat parties, pool parties) give you way more for your money.

Absolutely—Crete still packs a party punch, especially in spots like Malia, which is one of Europe’s go-to party destinations. The island mixes legendary nightlife with amazing beaches and daytime activities, so whether you’re hitting the clubs till dawn or chilling by the sea, there’s plenty going on with our Ultimate Events Package, and perfect for groups. Other areas on Crete tend to be more laid-back, but if it’s a proper party vibe you want, Malia’s strip is still the place to be.

Malia is all about big nights, beach days, and non-stop energy—it’s the perfect pick for students, first-time partygoers, and lads looking for a budget-friendly stag weekend abroad. It’s one of the top spots in Europe for 18–24s, but if you’re up for a laugh, love a bit of chaos, and can handle a few late nights, you’ll fit right in. The Strip is buzzing every night, the drinks won’t break the bank, and with top events included in our packages, Malia delivers serious party vibes from start to finish.
