Family-friendly resort (children’s facilities from 4–12yrs; no minimum adult-only age policy – ideal for mixed-age groups).

Orka Lotus Beach is tucked along the coastline just outside Icmeler, in Turkey’s Dalaman Area. The resort backs onto wooded hills and faces a calm bay, giving you that “Turquoise Coast” look and feel straight from the sunbed.

Stroll along the tree-lined seafront promenade or wander 1km into Icmeler resort centre for low-key bars, family-friendly restaurants, markets and mini-marts. Marmaris, with its marina, bazaar and nightlife, is an easy taxi or dolmuş ride away, so you can dip into livelier evenings then retreat to your quieter cove.

The All Inclusive at Orka Lotus Beach is built for variety. The main Pine Restaurant lays out buffet breakfasts, lunches and dinners with international dishes, Turkish flavours, a kids’ corner and live-cooking stations.

In the evenings, you can mix things up with specialty à la carte venues: Italian classics, authentic Turkish cuisine and a dedicated Chinese restaurant (seasonal, with reservations and possible supplements depending on your stay).

A generous spread of bars keeps drinks and snacks close to hand – from the beachfront bar and pool bars to a lobby bar and patisserie-style lounge for coffees, cakes and light bites during the day.

Dress codes tend to be smart casual (no beachwear in restaurants), and opening times and inclusions can vary seasonally; check the latest details when you arrive. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Water babies are spoilt for choice here. There are three main outdoor freshwater pools, including:

– A heated pool (early season) with sunbathing terrace and loungers
– An adults-only pool for quieter swims
– A main activity pool close to the action and snack bars

You also get a separate indoor pool, handy for cooler days at the start and end of the season. Towels are included, so that’s one less thing to pack.

Younger guests (and plenty of adults) will love the on-site aqua park, with slides operating at set times, plus a splash park with waterfall features that’s ideal for smaller children. Age, height or weight restrictions can apply for some slides.

Down at the water’s edge, a long stretch of beachfront and jetty area gives you direct access to the sea, with watersports like canoes, pedalos and motorised options available for an extra charge and run by the hotel (usually 18+).

Wellness takes centre stage in the spa, which includes a Turkish bath, sauna, steam room and a menu of massages and beauty treatments (charges apply; children 8+ allowed in some areas).

The air-conditioned gym is equipped with free weights and fixed machines and opens during daytime hours in season. Fitness activities might include aqua aerobics, yoga, dance classes and volleyball, alongside easy-going games like darts and table tennis.

Around the resort you’ll also find:

– Daily entertainment throughout the year, with different programmes for summer and the cooler months
– Evening shows, live music, DJs, karaoke and mini-disco for kids (seasonal)
– Mini-market on site for essentials and snacks
– Reception with concierge, currency exchange and luggage storage
