Food is a real highlight at Adalya Elite Lara, with variety to keep both adventurous eaters and fussy kids happy.

The bright, spacious Main Restaurant handles buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner, with live cooking stations and plenty of options for younger guests, including a kids’ buffet, kids’ menu, highchairs and a handy microwave.

In the evenings, five à la carte venues add extra flavour:

Bars are dotted throughout the resort: a Beach Bar for daytime drinks and snacks steps from the sand, a sociable Lobby Bar, relaxed Mahall lounge bar, a pool bar (seasonal), plus a Patisserie for coffee and sweet treats.

A smart-casual dress code typically applies in the restaurants (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen in the à la cartes). Reservations and supplements for à la cartes depend on your stay length and board, and opening days can vary by season.

• Aqua park with multiple slides (seasonal, age/height restrictions may apply) – a huge hit with teens and older children.

• Splash park with tipping buckets and sprinklers for younger kids, typically open May–October.

• Infinity-style beachfront pool with easy beach access and baby-changing facilities.

Pool towels are free, and inflatables or water toys are usually permitted in the designated children’s pools. Heating periods and opening hours can vary by season and weather, so check locally for the latest information.
