Manas Park Oludeniz

Perched on a hillside outside Olu Deniz on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, the view here needs to be seen to be believed. With the Taurus Mountains as the backdrop, the azure waters of the Mediterranean stretching out in front of you, and lush greenery all around, Manaspark Oludeniz offers a slice of tranquillity – and could be the perfect spot for your next getaway.

Kick back at the hotel pool or venture out to the iconic Olu Deniz Beach. Make the 20-minute walk to the famous strip of white sand and you won’t regret it. Chill out on the shore, paddle in the clear waters, or get a thrill from some paragliding – either way it’s a day well-spent. Back at the hotel kids can make a splash in their own dedicated swimming pool. And the fun won’t stop there, either. Darts, volleyball, and table tennis are just a few of the many activities you’ll find on offer. Entertainment-wise there’s a great line-up, too, with live music, karaoke, and live dance performances rounding out the bill.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are generous buffets of Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, so grab a plate and tuck in. Elsewhere you’ll find a snack restaurant if you get peckish between meals, and two bars to keep those drinks flowing. Head into Olu Deniz, meanwhile, and you’ll find everything from beach bars to rooftop restaurants for a chilled-out evening.

After a long day spent in the glorious Turkish sunshine, you’ll be glad of the comfy bed and soft pillow that’s waiting for you back in the room. You’ll find they’ve been decked out stylishly, with warm wooden floors and private balconies or terraces. Some even come with a small-but-perfectly-formed private pool, so you can have your morning dip in total peace.
