Ovacik is a peaceful hillside village in south‑west Turkey, perched above the famous Blue Lagoon at Oludeniz. Orka World Hotel & Aquapark sits in spacious, well-tended gardens in a quieter part of the resort, with mountain views and easy access to beaches and nightlife. Stroll around 700m into Ovacik for low-key bars and eateries, or head 1.5km down the road to lively Hisaronu for neon-lit nights, shops and family attractions.

The hotel is also well placed for day trips: the Blue Lagoon and Oludeniz beach are within easy reach, Babadağ Mountain is nearby for paragliding and panoramic cable car rides, and boat trips along the Turquoise Coast are a must for sea-lovers.

The main Mediteran buffet restaurant is the heart of the All Inclusive offering, serving an impressive spread of international favourites alongside Turkish specialities. Expect theme nights and plenty of choice for families, from British and Italian comfort food to Chinese, Mexican, Greek and French dishes. Kids are well catered for with a dedicated children’s buffet, highchairs and simple options for fussy eaters.

You’re never far from a drink or snack, with up to five bars depending on season: a main bar on the terrace, a lobby bar for pre-dinner drinks, a laid-back pool bar, a holiday pool snack bar and the Lagoon Vitamin Bar by the pool (seasonal). Local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are typically served from morning until midnight as part of the All Inclusive plan; premium brands may be extra and opening times can vary by season.

The All Inclusive package usually includes buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main restaurant, plus snacks at selected times between meals (for a minimum of 5 hours per day). Local wine, beer, spirits, hot drinks and soft drinks are generally available from 07:30–00:00. Details can change between seasons, so always check the latest information in resort. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Pool days are a big part of the Orka World story. On site you’ll find three outdoor freshwater pools, including a dedicated children’s pool and a main pool with shallow children’s section, all backed by sunloungers and parasols. The vibe ranges from lively around the animation areas to more relaxed corners for reading and sunbathing. Inflatables and water toys are permitted in selected pools, ideal for younger guests.

There’s also an indoor heated pool (typically heated between late April and early November), useful at the start and end of the season.

The star attraction is Orka World Aquapark, located around 1km away and accessible via a regular shuttle. Here you’ve got 13 slides for thrill-seekers, a winding lazy river, wave pool, splash zone and surprise shows from the animation team through the day (seasonal opening: usually 01 May–31 October 2025, and 01 May–15 October 2026; dates can change). Remember that food and drink purchased inside the aquapark are not part of the hotel’s All Inclusive plan.

The nearest sandy beaches and the iconic Blue Lagoon at Oludeniz are about 4.5km away, easily reached by taxi or local dolmuş buses, where you can mix pool time with days by the Aegean Sea.

Stay active at the compact but well-equipped gym, with cardio machines and fixed strength equipment (typically open 08:00–18:00, minimum age 16). Elsewhere you can join in with darts, table tennis and small-sided football, plus organised team games and family activities run by the animation crew.

For wind-down time, head to the spa. Facilities typically include a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a menu of massage and beauty treatments (local charges apply; spa services usually for ages 12+). It’s a great way to soothe muscles after a day at the slides.
