Mukarnas Resort & Spa sits on Turkey’s sun-drenched southern coast near Alanya, in the popular Antalya Area. Large beachfront hotels line this stretch, giving you waterparks, long sweeps of sand and plenty of sea-based fun on your doorstep.

A bus stop just outside makes it easy to hop into Alanya or Side for a change of scene – think historic fortresses, harbourfront promenades and Turkish restaurants where you can linger over meze and fresh fish before heading back to your All Inclusive base.

• Beach: direct beachfront access

With five restaurants and a generous All Inclusive programme, you can dine somewhere different most nights.

The main buffet restaurant handles breakfast, lunch and dinner with live cooking stations, kids’ buffet and a mix of Turkish and international dishes. A beachfront snack restaurant keeps you going between meals with relaxed buffet-style bites.

Come evening, three à la carte venues (reservation required, some supplements may apply) add variety:
• Blue Fish – seafood-focused à la carte, open seasonally for dinner
• King Dragon – Chinese and Japanese flavours with show cooking
• Vaspiano – Italian classics in a more intimate setting

Dress codes are generally smart casual in the evenings (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen in à la cartes).

Six bars are dotted around the resort, including a lobby bar, pool bar, beach bar, Amphi snack bar, adults-only Game Bar and a late-night disco bar, so refreshments are never far away. Opening hours and inclusions vary slightly by season and board. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Pool days are a big part of life at Mukarnas Resort & Spa. Outside, you’ll find two freshwater pools including a lively main pool and a separate children’s pool with slides, plus a full aquapark zone. Sun terraces are furnished with loungers and parasols and there are baby-changing facilities and free pool towels.

Indoors, there are two further pools (one for adults and one for children) in the spa centre, with the main indoor pool typically heated in the cooler early-season months.

The on-site aquapark features:
• Multi-lane racer slides
• Kamikaze and half-pipe slides
• Children’s slides and splash areas

The hotel opens directly onto a sand-and-shingle beachfront, where you can alternate pool time with sea swims and beachside drinks from the bar. Age, height or weight restrictions can apply for some slides.

If you like to stay active, this resort has you covered. The air-conditioned gym comes with cardio machines, free weights, an aerobics studio, sauna, steam room and whirlpool (minimum age 16 years). Fitness activities run through the day, from aerobics and aqua aerobics to yoga, pilates, dance classes and team sports such as football, volleyball, basketball, squash, table tennis, mini-golf and short tennis.

For extra fun, there’s a bowling alley (chargeable; seasonal opening) and a programme of daytime entertainment ranging from family games and competitions to water-based challenges.

The spa centres around a traditional Turkish bath alongside sauna, steam room and whirlpool, plus a menu of massages and beauty treatments (charges apply; minimum ages and supervision rules apply for younger guests). There’s also an on-site hairdresser for holiday-ready cuts and styling.

Other practical touches include a 24-hour reception, concierge-style assistance, luggage storage and wheelchair hire (subject to availability, local charge).
