Barut GOIA has a varied dining scene that works brilliantly for both adults and children:

Inanna Buffet Restaurant is the main hub, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with show cooking, a children’s buffet section, highchairs and handy microwaves for warming baby food.

Two stylish à la carte restaurants add extra flavour:
– Fely À la Carte – international and Turkish specialities for dinner.
– Olea Kitchen – Italian and Turkish dishes for dinner plus daytime snacks.

Snacks and sweet treats are covered by the Patisserie, while daytime drinks and bites are handy at the Beach Club and pool bar. Evenings can be spent in the relaxed Ivy Lobby Bar, lively Q Sports Bar or the rooftop Sunset Bar with views and cocktails.

A smart‑casual dress code applies in many venues (no beachwear), and reservations or supplements may apply depending on your chosen board basis.

Families are really well catered for around the pools:

– Two outdoor freshwater pools, including an infinity‑style main pool with children’s section (some pools heated in cooler months, weather dependent).
– Dedicated children’s pool with slides, heated from mid‑October to end of April (seasonal dates and opening subject to change).
– Indoor freshwater pool with children’s section, heated in spring and late autumn/winter.
– Sunbathing terraces with loungers and parasols, plus complimentary pool towels.

For sand between your toes, head to the nearby beach club, around 600m away, with a daily shuttle service, sunbeds and a beach bar serving drinks and snacks.
