Spice Hotel Spa

Spice Hotel and Spa is on a sandy stretch of beach a short drive from the town of Belek, in the Antalya region of Turkey's Mediterranean coastline, known as the Turkish Riviera. The hotel, renovated in 2018, has a heated indoor pool and four outdoor pools, one of which has a water park featuring seven slides up to 22m high. The beach is steps away through the hotel grounds, which feature lawns and mature shady trees, and you can relax on the sunbathing areas of the hotel's pier or try out one of the hotel's jet skis. The hotel has a spa with a Turkish bath, sauna and whirlpool, and a range of massages and beauty and wellness treatments are on offer. You might like to try a relaxing game of boules, challenge the family to table tennis or darts, or join in with aerobics, football or beach volleyball. In the evenings, Spice Hotel and Spa offers family-friendly shows, and there's a nightclub for adults. The area around Belek is known for its beaches, with kilometres of sand dropping gently into shallow waters. You might spot a turtle in the clear waters and there are boat trips available to explore the coastline. Golfers will enjoy the many international-quality courses in the region, set among pine forests and groves of pistachio trees.

Spice is 10m from the beach and 2km from Belek. In the town you can enjoy shopping in the Kadriye market which has stalls selling spices, hand-painted pottery and jewellery. You can also try traditional Turkish food in the informal restaurants called lokantas. The nearest golf course, the 18-hole Montgomerie, is 700m away from the hotel. On the outskirts of Belek is the Zeytin Tash cave with wooden bridges allowing you a close-up view of the stalactites. Day trips from the area include the Koprulu Canyon National Park, 48km away, where you can look for colourful birds in eucalyptus and cypress forests, or the ancient city of Perge, 20km away.

The international buffet restaurant at Spice is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and includes a kids' buffet. The hotel has five ala carte restaurants that specialise in international, seafood, Italian, Turkish and Chinese cuisine. Turkish pancakes are available and there's a cafe and patisserie. Spice has six bars, including a 24-hour lobby bar.
