Delphin BE Grand Resort

Chic accommodation, a private beach, upscale dining and a waterpark are just some of the facilities on offer at this luxury, family-friendly resort. It is less than 30 minutes by car from the city of Antalya, with sea view rooms offering fantastic vistas of the tranquil Mediterranean. There are a wide variety of swimming pools, including quiet and heated options and ones reserved for the kids, while there’s seven waterslides for children and nine for the grown-ups.

The main restaurant offers an open buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with kid-friendly and gluten free options available. When it comes to the evening meal, you may wish to reserve a table at one of the seven a la carte eateries. Choose whether you’d like to get your teeth into delicious meat or seafood dishes or maybe opt for regional cuisine from Turkey, Greece, Mexico, Italy or the Far East.

When it’s time for a refreshing drink, there are numerous options, including a bar on the beach and another on a pier. Be Relax Pool Bar opens at 10am and Be Kings Night Club remains open until 2am, meaning there’s 16 hours per day to make the most of your all-inclusive allowance. And that’s not limited to hot, soft and alcoholic drinks either. You may choose to visit the patisserie, the chocolate bar or the vitamin bar.

When it’s time to relax at the spa, you can benefit from complimentary access to the Hamam, Sauna, steam bath and the Relaxation Room. For an extra special treat you can book a massage, a beauty treatment or a private room for a surcharge.

At the amphitheatre, the animation team will keep the little ones entertained throughout the day and into the evening. Those lucky enough to be primary school age can join the mini club during the day and have fun at the mini disco later on. The teenagers and adults may opt to watch a film at the cinema, pay a visit to the bowling alley or engage in one of the many sporting activities available onsite.

A wide variety of room types exist to suit the needs of different travellers. Nine rooms are fully equipped for guests who are physically disabled. While the Be Romantic option is ideal for couples celebrating or looking for a more luxurious break, equipped with a stylish French bed. Be Deluxe Lofts are similar but offer additional space. Families can choose between a standard family room, interconnecting rooms and suites.

The resort is under 6km from the open air Sandland museum. Here, sculptors show off their skills using sand to mould an impressive range of creatures. At night these figures are illuminated using all colours of the rainbow, creating the perfect conditions for a shot of a lion, knight or temple to post to your Insta feed.

To the east you will find the town of Belek and its many golf courses. Further west is the city of Antalya. While it is now a large city with 2.5 million inhabitants, you can visit the maze-like Kaleiçi district, where perfectly restored whitewashed and red-roofed Ottoman houses line the cobblestone streets. While wandering the streets you should look out for the fortress gate, the stone clock tower and the 18th Century mosque.
