Aura Spa is on hand to soothe away stresses with massage therapies before a few gentle lengths of the indoor pool. You could also try a traditional Turkish hammam.

There’s something going on all day, whether that’s beach volleyball, competitions, or table tennis, and there’s family-orientated entertainment every night. There are lots of swimming pools crossed by bridges, and you’ll find water slides splashing into some of the more child-orientated pools.

A selection of water sports is available on the beach.

It’s a great option for families, not least because it’s all inclusive but the entertainment and facilities here are geared around kids having fun – activities, waterslides, and even a kid-friendly section in the buffet. Add in the well-thought-out family rooms and it’s easy to see why families return to this resort.

Babies and tots aren’t forgotten either. There’s a colourful playroom for babies and pre-schoolers with handy facilities like a bottle steriliser. You can also get nutritious baby food.

A kids club for 4-12-year-olds offers dance lessons and face painting, plus lots of organised sports competitions.

The water park is open from 10am to midday and 2pm to 4pm from mid-May to mid-October depending on weather conditions; selected facilities such as the pier and mini club are seasonal.
