Anadolu Hotels Didim Club

Offering direct access to a private, Blue Flag-rated beach on Turkey’s Aegean coast, this hotel scores top marks for location – and its extensive array of facilities is just as impressive. 

The centrepiece is the main outdoor pool with three water slides, while the separate adults-only relaxation pool is ideal if you’re looking for a quieter spot for a swim. It’s an excellent choice for families in particular, with a shallow children’s pool, a mini club for ages four to 12, a playground and a dedicated children’s buffet. 

There’s never a dull moment to be had, whether you fancy a game of tennis, beach volleyball or basketball, or you fancy getting involved in an aqua aerobics session in the pool. Later on, expect all kinds of live entertainment, with regular music performances, themed shows and karaoke nights to look forward to. 

In the mood for some pampering? Head over to the spa for a dip in the indoor pool (open 1-15 May and 15-31 October) or a session in the Turkish bath or the sauna. Massages and skin treatments are also available on request if you fancy treating yourself. 

You’ll be spoilt for choice at meal times, with the main buffet restaurant supplemented by a choice of five à la carte restaurants covering everything from traditional Turkish cuisine and Italian classics to fresh seafood and Mexican favourites. With several bars dotted around the resort, including by the poolside and down by the beach, you’ll never have to venture far for a drink or a snack. 

If you find yourself yearning for a change of scene, you’re only a few minutes’ stroll away from Altinkum’s lively seafront promenade, which is lined with plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants.
