From the first light of day, as the sun timidly peeks over the horizon, a fascinating phenomenon worthy of the greatest epics takes place on the beaches of summer club hotels: the legendary battle of the towels. Witnessing a chaotic ballet full of tension, the deckchairs face hordes of determined vacationers, armed with colorful bath towels and a relentless strategy. In this fierce struggle for the best location, it is not just about comfort, but a sacred quest to escape the shadows of the palm trees, to capture every ray of sunlight, and to guarantee privileged access to El Dorado seaside. Get ready to discover the juicy anecdotes and unsuspected strategies of those who fight fiercely for a perfect lazy morning.
The awakening of the deckchair warriors #
At dawn, as the sun begins to peek out timidly, a fascinating phenomenon is triggered in many club hotels. Vacationers, previously peaceful, turn into real towel warriors, ready at any time to grab the best deckchair by the pool or the beach. A bitter struggle for the precious location begins, often unbeknownst to the promises of rest and relaxation that the vacation was supposed to bring.
Armed with their towel, their sun creams and, sometimes even, little elaborate strategies, these sun lovers do not hesitate to put their sprinting skills to the test. The scene is worthy of sport competition where everyone tries to reach the finish line (or rather the deckchair) first, jostling, outwitting the other competitors, all this under the amused (or shocked) gaze of the other still sleepy vacationers.

Strategies worthy of a great tactician #
It’s not just a matter of laying down a towel: it requires thought and preparation! here are some strategies often observed in these beach champions:
- Early awakening: Get up before the chickens to arrive first on the battlefield.
- Recognition of places: Study the layout of the pool and identify the best locations, even the day before.
- Killer team : Form an alliance with friends or family members to cover more ground.
- The diversion: Disturb an occupied lounge chair to sneak in your own towel.
It is a real spectacle, an event not to be missed, embodying in itself the spirit of the summer holidays in these tourist establishments.
Rules often ignored #
Despite the display of signs prohibiting the reservation of deckchairs, these rules seem to be lost in the gentle sound of the waves. More daring vacationers don’t care about the instructions: a deckchair is considered a good accessible to anyone who dares to get up early enough to conquer it.
Indeed, many people make a good turn against bad luck, comforting themselves in the fact that they have paid for their vacation and therefore, everything is due, right? As a famous psychologist points out, this behavior can be summed up as a insufficient self-control, causing a snowball effect where “if the other does it, why not me?” »

Hotel initiatives to bring peace #
Aware of this morning chaos, some hotels are trying to establish rules to preserve a semblance of tranquility. Here are some initiatives adopted:
- Towel Removal: Some establishments remove towels left on deckchairs before a certain time to avoid abuse.
- Deckchair brigades: Dedicated teams monitor the areas to remind vacationers of the rules of good behavior.
- Incineration of tensions: Alternative activities are offered, such as yoga classes, allowing others to enjoy the place without needing to fight for a lounge chair.
With these measures, the hope of a return to peaceful holidays is sown, even in the heart of this deckchair war which could give rise to a huge summer sitcom.
Changing the game: alternatives to the traditional deckchair #
To escape this towel battle and at false starts, some deckchair adventurers turn to more innovative options. Imagine: a inflatable deck chair, easy to transport, light and suitable for unforeseen events. This device has become the new trend, delighting busy and smart vacationers who want to make the most of every moment without getting ahead of themselves.
A new era of relaxation could well emerge, where towel wars give way to moments of sharing around a good cocktail, with your feet in the sand. Who knows, maybe our summer literature next year will tell stories of cooperation rather than competition on these crowded beaches!
