Club Hotel Turan Prince World

Turan Prince World is a 5 star beachfront resort, 15km east of the Turkish town of Side. There’s something for the whole family here - an aqua park with waterslides for the kids, massages for stressed parents, canoeing for sports enthusiasts, while the evening’s entertainment brings all ages together. Fed up of the wet British weather? Relax on a sunlounger on the private beach and absorb some vitamin D.

Children aged 4-11 will be spoiled at the Mini Club. Here, they’ll get the chance to build sandcastles on the beach, meet horses, get creative at arts and crafts sessions, before burning off any excess energy at the mini disco. 12-17 year olds haven’t been forgotten about either - they’ll have the opportunity to go paintballing, learn how to break dance and be let loose on the DJ decks.

Sofra is the main buffet restaurant where you’ll find a wide variety of foods, including child-friendly options. For a dinner with a difference select your favourite seafood at Bellona Zargana, devour Chinese fresh from the flames at Dragon or experience Mexican cuisine at El Torito. Four snack bars dish up light bites between meals, as well as serving your favourite cocktails and soft drinks. You just need to decide whether to relax on the beach, poolside or in the lobby. For hot beverages visit Tashan Cafe, where you can choose between traditional Turkish tea and coffee. End the day by dancing the night away at the Disco, where you’ll find a further bar.

Standard rooms are a generous 29m2 and include a double bed, a single and a sofa that can convert into an additional sleeping option for a child. If you wish to have a separate sleeping area for the kids upgrade to the 44m2 Duplex. These also have an additional single bed, providing enough space for a family of five.

While there’s loads to do at Turan Prince World, the kids won’t want to miss out on a trip to Thematic Park Antalya Discover (23km away). Here, they can meet the sea creatures in the aquarium, before they come face-to-face with the huge animatronic dinosaur exhibits. History lovers should head up to Seleukeia, an Ancient Greek city (25km away). This site retains more of its original features than other historic sites, as the remote location has prevented the stone from being reclaimed. Maybe stop off at the magnificent Manavgat Waterfall on the way. This is an ideal spot for a picnic lunch before a short trek along one of the riverside walkways.
