Set at the foot of a green hillside in Akyarlar, near Turgutreis, Kefaluka Resort looks straight out across the Aegean to the Greek island of Kos. The hotel fronts a private, man-made sandy beach with a jetty and calm, sheltered waters – ideal for paddling and water sports.

Turgutreis itself is the Bodrum peninsula’s second-biggest town, known for its long strip of golden-sand beaches, yacht-filled marina and glitzy shopping streets. This makes Kefaluka a handy base if you want a self-contained resort feel with easy access to local life, markets and day trips around the peninsula.

Turgutreis, Bodrum Area, Turkey

With 10 restaurants and 6 bars, Kefaluka Resort has enough variety to keep even fussy eaters happy over a long stay.

The Kefalonya Main Restaurant is the buffet heart of the hotel, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with show-cooking stations, international classics and plenty of Turkish dishes. Highchairs and a kids’ buffet make mealtimes easier with little ones.

Seven à la carte venues (typically open seasonally) add extra flavour: tuck into meze and grilled specialities at Kebabi – Turkish Food, seafood by the shore, authentic Italian at Luna Piena, Mexican favourites at El Sombrero and Asian dishes at Shi Feng. For lighter bites, Agora Snack, Zuzu Snack, Lokum Patisserie and the Gözleme House keep snacks, gözleme and sweet treats flowing throughout the day.

Bars are scattered from lobby to beach and pool: a dedicated beach bar, pool bars, an Irish sports bar and the Moonlight disco bar on the waterfront mean you’re never far from a cold drink or after-dinner cocktail.

Dress codes (no beachwear) and reservation requirements apply in most à la carte restaurants, and some may carry a supplement depending on your All Inclusive Plus package and length of stay. Opening dates and times can vary with season and occupancy. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Water babies are spoiled here. You’ll find:

• 3 outdoor freshwater pools, including a dedicated children’s pool, sun terraces with loungers, parasols and even swing beds in places
• A splash park with tipping buckets, sprinklers and water cannons for younger kids
• A full aqua park with slides for bigger children and teens (age/height restrictions may apply)
• 2 indoor freshwater pools, one with whirlpool features and a separate heated children’s pool (seasonal opening)

On the seafront, Kefaluka’s private man-made sandy beach shelves into clear, typically calm water – great for families. There’s a pier for sunbathing or boat trips, water polo in the pool, and a range of water sports such as canoeing, pedalos, windsurfing and motorised options operated by an external company (charges apply; minimum ages apply, often from 12 years).

Pool towels are provided free of charge, and inflatables and water toys are generally permitted in designated pools.

The resort’s spa brings the classic Turkish wellness experience to your doorstep, with a hammam (Turkish bath), sauna, steam room, whirlpool and a menu of massages and beauty treatments (charges apply, minimum age usually 12+). There’s even an on-site hairdresser if you fancy a fresh blow-dry before dinner.

The gym is well-equipped with cardio machines, free weights and a stretching zone, complemented by organised activities like aqua aerobics, basketball, football, darts, pétanque, volleyball, squash, tennis (some services chargeable) and table tennis.

Indoors, a bowling alley, pool tables and a games centre (extra charge) keep teenagers and grown-ups entertained into the evening, while an on-site mini-market covers holiday essentials. Reception can assist with wheelchair hire, shuttle services, local information and more, and there’s a concierge-style desk plus luggage storage and newspapers for a small fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is Kefaluka Resort directly on the beach?
Yes. Kefaluka Resort is set on its own private man-made sandy beach with a pier, so you can step straight from the pool area onto the sand. The bay is sheltered and typically calm, which works well for children and for trying out water sports.

3. Is Kefaluka Resort suitable for children and teenagers?
Very much so. There are children’s pools, a splash park, a separate aqua park with slides, a kids’ club for 4–12 year olds, a playground, family rooms and connecting rooms. Older children and teens tend to love the bowling alley, games centre and evening entertainment, making this a strong choice for multi-age families.

4. When is the waterpark open at Kefaluka Resort?
The aqua park and splash park at Kefaluka Resort are typically open from late April to late October, depending on weather conditions and hotel occupancy. Certain slides may have age, height or weight restrictions for safety. Schedules can change from year to year, so it’s wise to reconfirm dates closer to departure.

5. How far is Kefaluka Resort from Turgutreis and Bodrum?
Kefaluka Resort is around 10km from the centre of Turgutreis, and the hotel usually operates a shuttle bus service to the resort centre for a small fee. Bodrum town, with its castle, harbour and nightlife, is further along the peninsula and easily reached by taxi or local dolmuş minibus services.

6. Is Wi‑Fi available at Kefaluka Resort?
Yes. Free Wi‑Fi is available in the communal areas of Kefaluka Resort, such as the lobby and some bar and pool spaces. In-room Wi‑Fi is also listed among the room facilities, although speeds and coverage can vary by location and the number of guests online.

7. Does Kefaluka Resort have vegan or vegetarian options?
The main buffet restaurant generally offers a variety of salads, vegetable dishes, pastas, breads and side dishes that suit vegetarian diets, and there are often clearly labelled options at dinner. Vegan guests will find some suitable choices, although the range may be more limited. If you have specific dietary requirements or allergies, inform the hotel in advance and speak to the restaurant team on arrival so they can advise what’s available.

8. What is the dress code at Kefaluka Resort restaurants?
Daytime dress is casual around the pools and snack areas, but most indoor and à la carte restaurants request that guests do not wear beachwear, and a smart-casual dress code applies in the evenings (for example, no wet swimwear and usually no sleeveless tops for men at dinner). Exact policies can vary slightly by venue, so it’s best to check the hotel information once you arrive.
