Balmy Foresta

Balmy Foresta, formerly known as Paloma Foresta, is a luxurious retreat where everyone is welcome. From its envious setting between the majestic Taurus Mountains and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, to the huge array of activities open to all ages, it has all the right ingredients for an unmissable holiday destination.

Children will especially love it here. For thrill-seekers, there’s a pool with three slides, while the kids’ club is open throughout the day to keep them busy on dry land, and there’s even a space reserved just for teenagers. Grown-ups who crave the quiet life, however, can unwind in the relax pool, which is heated in the spring and autumn months.

Feeling hungry? The folks at the Balmy Foresta put a big emphasis on locally sourced ingredients for all their food. That includes when you sit down for dinner at any of their five à la carte restaurants. Whether you fancy seafood, Mediterranean, Chinese, or sizzling steaks, there’s something here for every type of palate. Plus, with six bars dotted around the premises, including a traditional Irish pub, you’ll find your favourite cocktail is never more than a hop, skip, and a jump away.

When it comes to boredom-busting activities, the Balmy Foresta knows a thing or two. Serve and volley on the tennis courts, work up a sweat in their state-of-the-art gym or head to the water and try your hand at paddle-boarding. Prefer more relaxing pursuits? Head to the luxurious spa, where you can indulge in a soothing sauna or Turkish bath. And when the evening draws in, it’s time to let your hair down at the hotel’s nightclub and dance the night away.
