Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Club Shark Hotel centres around a compact, sociable outdoor freshwater pool with a separate children’s section. A sunbathing terrace wraps around the water, lined with sunbeds and parasols – inflatables are permitted, adding to the relaxed, fun vibe. Pool towels are available for a small local charge.

When you fancy the sea, head the 400m down to Gumbet’s beach or hop on the hotel’s free shuttle to the shore. The bay’s calm, shallow waters make for easy swimming, while the resort itself offers plenty of independent water sports operators for parasailing, jet-skiing and banana boats (local charges apply).

Spa, sports & wellness


Balance late nights with daytime downtime in the small spa, where you’ll find a sauna, traditional Turkish bath (hamam) and a menu of massage treatments (all usually 16+ and at extra charge). Spa facilities typically operate from late April to late October, between around 10:00 and 19:00.

The on-site gym offers cardio machines and a free-weights area (minimum age 16yrs), perfect for staying active between pool sessions. Light activities such as darts and table tennis add a bit of holiday competition.

Practical extras include a 24-hour style reception with concierge-style assistance, luggage storage and an on-site mini‑market for beach essentials and snacks.
