Korumar Ephesus Beach & Spa Resort

With a beachfront location, and loads of great activities on offer, this contemporary resort packs in everything you’ll need for that blissful beach holiday.  

The huge outdoor pool is the star of the show here, with plenty of room to take a cooling dip, and plenty of loungers and parasols to snag a bit of shade. There’s a separate kids’ pool, too, and water slides so you can really make a splash. If you fancy a swim in the sea, the Mediterranean is practically on the doorstep. Wander through the grounds of the hotel down to the beach and you can spend the day chilling out on the powdery-soft sand.

There’s a great list of sports and activities on offer here, too. Everything from tennis, beach volleyball, and basketball to archery is laid on by the hotel. After an active morning why not head over to the spa for a spot of relaxation? Unwind in the sauna, steam room, or Turkish Hammam, while the little ones blow off steam in the kids’ club.

Tuck into a local and international buffet at the main restaurant, or dip into one of the three à la carte places that serve up Turkish, international, and seafood fare. If you’ve got a craving for something sweet, meanwhile, the on-site patisserie is the place to be. There’s a handful of bars, too, so plenty of choice when it comes to grabbing a drink. You can cool off with a cocktail from the beach bar, or grab a beer and watch the match in the sports bar.
