, help customers of hotels and beach resorts to improve their experience. That’s why the installation of umbrellas is an important investment for hoteliers on many levels. Here are some things we would suggest you consider before making such an investment.

Legal restrictions. Depending on the area, the installation of umbrellas and beach equipment is subject to certain rules and restrictions. A very important prohibition set by the Greek legislation is the alteration of the natural morphology and biotic elements of the natural environment. Therefore, the choice of equipment should take into account their aesthetic integration with the natural environment and the materials of construction.

Quality and durability. It is important to pay attention to the quality of the umbrellas you choose. Their resistance to beach conditions, with frequent winds and sand, is an important feature. (On our page you can see the average lifespan of our umbrellas.) Maintenance and repair, included in our services, can significantly extend the life of your umbrellas.

Placement. The placement of umbrellas is another factor that affects the quality of the bathers’ experience. The distance between the umbrellas offers the necessary privacy and space to enjoy their stay. The size of the umbrella (and sunbed) is also important so that it is functional without wasting valuable beach space.

Usage. Are they going to be a provision of your hotel to customers or will they have a purely commercial use? Determining the use will help you choose the right type of umbrella, features, cost and support you will need for maintenance.

Maintenance. The maintenance of the umbrellas is an important selection criterion. It ensures their functionality and the safety of bathers. Quality umbrellas (construction, material) do not have high maintenance requirements. However, make sure that your supplier provides this service to ensure a trouble-free season, without loss of profit and positive experiences due to equipment wear and tear.

Environmental footprint. It’s not just about building a green brand but several times it is also required by legislation. The use
raw materials
environmentally friendly raw materials, and the ‘ecological’ withdrawal of old ones, are essential sustainability features.
