Sails On Kos
Hello, my name is Alexi, and with my wife Madeleine, father George, mother-in-law Louisa and our two young sons we run a glamping resort on the island of Kos. To start we would like to express that not only is this our business and income, it is also our community, passion and home where we believe you will have an unforgettable experience.
We aim to provide an inclusive community for people to enjoy our site, the island and the culture of Greece. We absolutely love having volunteers and staff from all around the world work and live alongside us to help run our eco village resort, contribute to guests having an amazing experience, and to maintain and love our property and business in a way that nourishes everyone involved. As a volunteer we welcome you into our home as a personal guest, and many of our volunteers return on following years. We have volunteers from all over the world come to stay with us and in the height of the season you might be living alongside 20 other people at any time, so we have a real community spirit.
We have a mixed team of staff, from the village we live in to all around the world, Yemen, UK to Canada and Australia. We try to bring our staff into our family and work as a large family team

About the experience in: Kos Island, Greece
France
I highly recommend it to anyone looking to meet people from all over the world: Australia, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Lithuania, the USA, Canada…
Life here is simple — a bit of work, then it’s off to the beach or the pool.
As for the work, everything is well organized: a schedule is shared on Sunday for the following week, allowing you to plan accordingly. Working hours are respected.
In terms of work benefits: the meals are generous and you rarely lack anything. The facilities for volunteers at the campsite are simple but more than enough.
Thanks again!

I can recommend sails on kos to everyone. The hosts are very kind, it is not too much work and you are in a fantastic location, waking up to a great mountain view and close to the sea.
Also you have all three mals and very good Dinner, so you also don't have to worry about food. The volunteering postition is just great in every way and you can meet a lot of people there, other volunteers and permanent staff.
And while Kos is a seemingly small island there is a lot to explore.
I can only recommend.

I had the most amazing time at Sails! This experience has taught me so much within myself, and life. Maddie and Alexi have been an absolute delight and I’m very grateful to have been given this opportunity to care for their beautiful, loveable kids, Jethro and Dante. During my time here, I’ve met some of the most wonderful people who have really made me grow as a person. This was my first time camping, I can confidently say that I’ve become stronger as it was out of my comfort zone but I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you to everyone here and will definitely be returning! Miss all already❤️

Can't be happier after my time at Sails! This family has something real happening here. The atmoshpere feels so heartwarming. I got very lucky during my stay, Maddy and Alexi were super flexible as I still worked online, therefore could help in the restaurant in the morining and still do my job in the evenings. Will forever be grateful for this experience. Thank you for welcoming me into your house, business, community and life. I hope to see you all soon<3

Even though i had to leave early, my time at Sails on Kos was the best experience in my entire life and i will forever be grateful for this opportunity. Maddie and Alexi are amazing people that were always open for a healthy conversation no matter what happened. I got to meet so many great people and learned a lot from this experience. The hours of the job were as we agreed to, the kids were really lovely, and in my free time i got to experience almost the entire island. I'll never forget this place and how healthy and respectful the environment was. Big thanks to everyone at Sails
