Kusadasi, Izmir Area, Turkey

With four restaurants and four bars, eating and drinking are a big part of the Ephesia Holiday Beach Club experience.

The main Sunset Restaurant is the All Inclusive hub, serving buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner with show cooking, kids’ buffet, microwaves and highchairs – ideal for families with younger children.

In the evening, you can swap buffets for bookings at one of three à la carte spots (typically one visit per stay included, seasonal and with reservation):

• La Veranda A’la Carte – Italian favourites on the roof terrace, perfect for a date night with sea views.
• Nautilus A’la Carte – Turkish and local Aegean dishes right by the beach.
• Royal China A’la Carte – Chinese-style specialities for something different mid-week.

Refreshments are always close by, whether it’s an iced drink at the beach bar, a coffee or cocktail at the lounge bar, or a long cool drink by the pools.

Smart casual dress codes may apply in the evenings and for à la carte venues, and restaurant/bar opening dates and times can vary by season and occupancy. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Water babies are spoilt here. There are seven outdoor freshwater pools including three dedicated children’s pools, plus an aqua park and splash park. Some pools are quieter and more laid-back, others are right by the slides – you can pick your vibe each day.

• Large main pools with sunbeds and parasols all around
• Shallow kids’ pools, one in the waterpark area with slides, tipping bucket and water guns
• Additional children’s pools located by different blocks for easy access
• Inflatables and water toys are permitted in some pools (as signed on site)

Down at the beachfront you’ll find a broad stretch of sand and shingle lapped by the Aegean, with sunbeds, parasols and watersports. Canoes, pedalos and motorised water sports are typically available via an independent operator (extra charge; seasonal, weather-dependent).

When you’re ready to swap the splash park for something calmer, head for the spa area with Turkish bath, sauna and a menu of massages and treatments (16+, extra charge).

Active guests can make use of:
• Gym with cardio machines, free weights area and sauna (16+, seasonal hours)
• Aerobics and fitness classes
• Darts, table tennis and petanque
• Football, volleyball and poolside games

Around the resort you’ll also find a children’s playground, landscaped gardens for shaded naps in the buggy, and plenty of spots to just sit with a Turkish coffee and watch the sun go down. Facilities, opening dates and entertainment schedules may vary by season and occupancy.
