Everything you need to know about working in Malia and landing the best Summer jobs in 2026.
Welcome to the party capital of Crete. Malia is a firm favourite on the European party circuit and one of our newest Summer Takeover resorts. Since 2018, we’ve helped hundreds create their dream summer here — blending sun-soaked days with buzzing nightlife.
Think medieval churches and cobbled streets by day, then neon-lit bars and massive clubs by night. From paint parties and waterparks to beaches packed with banana boats, jet skis and scuba adventures, no two days in Malia are ever the same. It’s the perfect mix of culture, adventure and unforgettable nights out.
Make sure guests have the time of their lives. From sorting out questions to running epic welcome meetings and parties, being a rep in Malia means you’re the friendly face everyone remembers.
Spin the hottest tracks and keep Malia’s clubs pumping all night. You’ll need decent mixing skills and the energy to work the crowd — clubs are looking for DJs who fill the dancefloor and bring big vibes.
Pour drinks, pull pints and keep the party rolling. Bar work in Malia is fun, high-energy and you don’t always need experience — enthusiasm and a big smile are key.
As a PR in Malia you’ll be out chatting to tourists, handing out deals and getting them through the doors. It’s a confident, chatty job that suits people who love the social scene.
Promote boat parties, club nights and excursions around Malia. Ticket selling is perfect if you’re confident talking to groups and want to boost earnings with commission.
Be in the thick of the party, selling shots on busy dancefloors. Most jobs pay commission, so the more fun you bring, the more you’ll earn.
Wait tables, seat guests or help prepare dishes — restaurant work is great for a slower pace than the clubs and means more day shifts.
Keep bars moving by clearing tables and restocking glasses. It’s busy but you’re right in the party atmosphere every night.
Hype up crowds from podiums or bars — short sets in the heat mean high energy. Great for dancers who love the spotlight.
Look after high-spenders at beach clubs or VIP lounges. Your job is to make sure guests have the ultimate night out, from bottle service to big celebrations.
It’s your first night in Malia, and that can only mean one thing — time to get messy. We’ll kick things off at the hotel before hitting some of the best (and cheapest) bars on the infamous strip, ending the night in Malia’s biggest club. Pace yourself, it’s a marathon not a sprint!
After a heavy night, there’s no better hangover cure than chilling by the pool with an ice-cold cocktail. Later we’ll enjoy a family meal at one of Malia’s best spots followed by a couple of quiet drinks. Rest up — tomorrow’s job hunt means an early start.
Time to fix up and look sharp — today’s all about landing that dream job. Make that first impression count! After a morning on the hunt, we’ll celebrate with one of Malia’s biggest events at Apollo Nightclub, famous for incredible special guests.
Saturday is our favourite day of the week. Today’s all about the biggest and best pool party in Malia — a guaranteed sell-out on the party calendar. Afterwards we’ll hit the strip in full force to keep the night going.
After a jam-packed few days, it’s time to chill. Nothing beats a Sunday pool day — crack open a cold one and soak up the sun. As it sets, we’ll fire up the BBQ for an all-you-can-eat feast, the perfect way to round off your first weekend in Malia.
If you haven’t secured your perfect summer job yet, today’s your day. Meet the rep team at the pool bar at 12pm — they’ll go through all the job openings and help match you up. Just remember, we can’t work miracles, so come ready if you’re serious about working in Malia.
The end of your first week! Let’s celebrate in true Summer Takeover style with a fancy dress bar crawl. Best outfit wins a free bottle of vodka, so make sure you go all out.
Now the first week’s over, it’s time to settle into real Malia worker life. Hopefully you’ve landed your dream job, but if not, our reps are always here to help. Staying on longer? We’ve got limited accommodation for June, July and August, so lock it in early!

Summer takeover is not one to miss out on! Met some great people who have become friends for life and had some unreal moments when I was away with the company! I'll be looking to do it all over again.

I went with summer takeover and felt so welcomed. Any worries I had, I felt very comfortable going to Dan and Jordan. They helped me find a job so easily within the first week and showed us the best time. Deffo recommended.

I went on the 16th of May, it was quiet at first but then it got rammed. Worked for Tidal all season — insane experience, met amazing people and made lifelong friends. Doing it again next season!

Definitely a summer to remember. Summer Takeover were a massive help on the job front. They gave me a VIP host job on Tidal, hands down the best job on the island. Made friends for life.
