Crystal Admiral Resort and Spa

If you’re looking for a hotel that’ll welcome you with warm Turkish hospitality, beautiful views and plenty of food and drink, the search is over. The Crystal Admiral Resort and Spa is set in a coastal spot, just across the road from its private beach. It’s also less than a 30-minute cab ride from Side, where you’ll find time-stamped ruins and a string of bars, shops and restaurants.

Back at the hotel, you’ll find six big outdoor pools and an aqua park with a team of rainbow-coloured slides that provide fun for the whole family – part of it is themed and looks like an anchored pirate ship. There’s also an indoor pool in the luxurious spa centre, which is perfect for a relaxing swim. Little ones, meanwhile, will be kept busy at the Crispy Mini Club – an all-singing, all dancing kids’ club, which hosts an A to Z of activities. Elsewhere, you’ll find tennis courts, a mini-golf course, and courts for basketball and beach volleyball. The entertainment doesn’t stop at sunset, either – there’s an al fresco amphitheatre, where you can watch shows every evening.
