Decision first.

Choose the operating model that fits the inventory—not the loudest feature list.

Clubtech is a MySunbed alternative for beach clubs and pool venues that want their own website to carry the sale. Guests choose the exact sunbed, daybed, or cabana on a 3D map, add a package and extras, and prepay under the venue's brand, while each booking reports its revenue to Meta, Google, TikTok, and GA4.

MySunbed, run by the French company SAS MYSUNBED from Nice, combines a consumer marketplace for private beaches and pools with MySunbed Pro, a set of tools for the venue. The decision is mostly about channel mix: how much inventory a marketplace should sell, and how much the venue's own channel should carry.

Best fit for MySunbed

MySunbed is a strong fit when a private beach or pool wants international marketplace demand. Its consumer site covers destinations including the Côte d'Azur, Morocco, Dubai, Mexico, Italy, and Spain, and its business site describes MySunbed Ventes, a sales channel that puts a venue in front of that audience and can be taken on its own (checked 2 Nov 2026).

For venues that want more, MySunbed Pro adds modules for a digital floor plan with real-time availability, a shared customer database, a booking module for the venue's own website, analytics on average basket value and customer habits, reselling a sunbed after a midday departure, sending a booking link to callers the team cannot answer, collecting reviews, and one-click guest notices during bad weather. MySunbed Pro integrates natively with Zenchef, and onboarding includes an audit, training, support seven days a week, and an annual review.

Where Clubtech fits

Clubtech fits when the venue wants its own website to carry the sale. Guests land on the venue's domain, tap the exact daybed or cabana, choose a package, add extras, and prepay in a four-tap checkout. The booker invites the group and each guest adds their own details, so the venue can market to the whole party, not only the payer, and that guest data stays with the venue.

Because each booking reports its revenue to Meta, Google, TikTok, and GA4, the venue can judge its own ads on bookings rather than clicks, and WhatsApp or email recovery returns a guest who drops out to the exact zone, date, and price they left.

What it looks like at a beach club

At FINNS Beach Club in Bali, CEO Beau Whittington describes the change this way: "We have grown from simple on-the-day bookings with no financial guarantee… to now having millions of dollars worth of pre-paid bookings each month." The FINNS case study shows how that direct, prepaid channel was built.

In Cyprus, lasmari beach bar grew booking revenue 69% from the 9 to 22 July fortnight to the 23 July to 6 August fortnight of 2026. The lasmari beach bar case study separates what the season explains from what it does not: a 23% larger average booking.

Coexistence and switching considerations

A marketplace and a direct channel can run side by side. A venue may want marketplace reach for first-time visitors from abroad and its own channel for repeat guests, groups, and premium furniture. Allocate inventory deliberately, deciding which zones or categories each channel sells, so the same sunbed is never sold twice.

MySunbed's published partner terms run to 31 December and renew each year (checked 2 Nov 2026), so check the agreement before changing allocations. Build the direct channel first, then move inventory between channels on evidence: net revenue per booking, repeat visits, package and add-on attachment, and staff workload. How we deliver covers implementation.

Questions operators ask

What is a good MySunbed alternative for beach clubs?

Clubtech is a MySunbed alternative for beach clubs and pool venues that want to sell sunbeds, daybeds, and cabanas on their own website, with the exact spot, a package, and prepayment in the same booking flow. The venue keeps the guest data, and each booking reports its revenue to Meta, Google, TikTok, and GA4.

Can a beach club use a marketplace and its own booking channel at the same time?

Yes, as long as inventory is allocated deliberately. Decide which zones or categories each channel sells so the same sunbed is never sold twice, and review the marketplace agreement before changing the split.

Who owns the guest data from direct bookings on Clubtech?

The venue does. Clubtech runs white-label on the venue's own domain, and each guest in a party can add their own details, so the venue builds a record of the whole group, not only the payer.

Can guests pick the exact sunbed on Clubtech?

Yes. Guests tap the specific sunbed, daybed, or cabana on a 3D birds-eye map with live, color-coded availability, so they book the spot rather than a category.

How are Clubtech commercials scoped?

Commercials follow discovery. We map the venue, inventory, payments, integrations, teams, and rollout, then return with a proposal built around the confirmed operation.

Do we have to replace our POS or PMS?

No. Clubtech sits on top of the POS, PMS, payment, and ad platforms you already run rather than replacing them, with no major IT changes. Which integrations your venue enables is confirmed during implementation.
