Where to Stay in Belek for Non-Stop Fun and Relaxation

The dreaded family holiday comes but once a year – twice, if you’re lucky – and planning for it never gets much easier. Catering to all the needs of your varied household is tough enough, let alone when you’re attempting to do so on international soil and with the intention of making the best possible holiday! Here, a rope from me to you. If you’re stuck on where to take your family next, you aren’t anymore; you’re going to Belek, Turkey. And in the following paragraphs, you’re going to find out both where, and why.

Belek is a south-facing coastal town on Turkey’s coast, which enjoys Mediterranean waters and all the incredible weather that comes with it. It’s quiet, beautiful, well-connected and the perfect basis from which to enjoy a full-featured week that combines high-energy fun with opportunities for the adults to relax and unwind. But how do you format this trip of dreams?

01. Choosing the Right Family-Friendly Resort

Naturally, your aim is to secure family-friendly lodgings in Belek – which, in a resort context, means a number of specific provisions that ensure your children won’t be unsafe, upset or even moderately bored. At the most basic, this means supervised facilities and provisions for younger children. Further up the scale, this means kids clubs, supervised activities, and maybe even onsite facilities like water parks.

Location is key too, as nearby attractions could solve a lot of problems as far as keeping your kids happy throughout the holiday is concerned. You might choose to stay in Antalya near the Land of Legends Turkey, a theme park with Nickelodeon-inspired designs and fun enough to entertain your little ones from morning until bedtime.

02. All-Inclusive Comforts & Parent Chill-Out Zones

Now, resort stays aren’t just about ensuring your children are safe, happy and looked-after. This holiday is also for you – and the things that benefit your kids could benefit you too in this regard. A good resort would have a supervised kid’s zone included, enabling you and your partner to escape to a dedicated hammam spa or rest zone without having to worry too much. All the better if it’s a pool bar overlooking said kid’s area for peace of mind!

03. Activity Bonanza: Slides, Theme Parks & Adventure

The best resorts for families are those that pack in a number of on-site activities, enabling you to salvage a day of poor weather or low energy. Rather than relying on your own get-up-and-go to get you somewhere special on the other side of the Turquoise Coast, you can take a lazy day and propel your children towards the nearest kid-friendly slide pool!
