Baia Lara Hotel

When it comes to Turkish escapes with all the five-star trimmings, Baia Lara Hotel doesn't miss a trick. Seven pools, a luxury spa, loads of choice at mealtimes, and an enviable spot that's just a short stroll from its own private stretch of beach. What more could you want from a family holiday?

Let's talk a bit more about that pool scene. They include a Half-Olympic pool for serious swimmers, an adults-only number, a Jacuzzi, and a kids'-only pool. For even livelier afternoons, head to the onsite aqua park, which boasts a whopping nine waterslides – especially for children.

There's a dizzying amount foodwise as well. Three à la carte restaurants (reservation required) – specializing in Italian, fish, and sizzling meats – make for a memorable dinner time, while snack spots offering up a variety of light bites in the afternoons help keeps your hunger in check. There's even a late-night restaurant that's open until the early morning. Perfect for guests who fancy a little something after an evening of entertainment.

Speaking of entertainment, expect live music, animation throughout the day, archery, tennis, and a kids' club packed with age-appropriate activities. In fact, Baia Lara Hotel is packed with so much to do, you'll have to make some big decisions on what to leave out. There are only so many hours in the day after all.
