Ask any child to design a holiday and it will probably look a lot like a Turkish family resort: waterslides, splash pools, kids’ clubs, ice cream on tap and a beach a few steps away. Add the all-inclusive value Turkey is famous for, and it is easy to see why so many families come back year after year.

Tips for a Turkey family holiday
Choose a short transfer: Lara and Belek are 20 to 45 minutes from Antalya airport, which makes a big difference with young children. All-inclusive is best value: with snacks, ice cream and soft drinks included all day. Book family rooms early: the best room types sell out first for school holidays. Avoid peak heat: late May, June, September and October half-term are warm but kinder than mid-summer. See also where to stay on the Antalya coast.
