Delphin Imperial

If you want the wow factor, the Delphin Imperial is nothing short of showstopping. From its 798 glitzy rooms to its panoramic lifts and nine a la carte restaurants, it’s hardly surprising it boasts 5 flashy stars. When you can tear yourself away from the deluxe spa, cinema and waterpark, you’ll be just as impressed by its stand-out location in Antalya’s prestigious Lara Beach resort. Better yet, the hotel is a quick 20-minute car journey from the airport, allowing you to kick-start your holiday from the moment you land.

When it comes to a place to rest your head, you’ve got the choice of superior and junior options, connecting rooms for large groups, spacious family suites and luxurious lagoon numbers featuring exclusive pool access from the terrace. As standard, your room will include a sprawling double bed, air conditioning, a hair dryer, music broadcast, LCD TV, a minibar as well as tea and coffee-making amenities. If you need wheelchair accessibility, there are disabled superiors available with suitable facilities.

Seeking indulgence? Nowhere does All Inclusive like the Delphin Imperial. Take advantage of 10 eateries (yes, we said 10!) including an all-you-can-eat-buffet, Mexican, Chinese, Greek, Italian, Spanish and most importantly, Turkish a la carte. There’s also a seafood joint, a Japanese kitchen alongside a meat and wine restaurant. Dining times start as early as 7am, perfect for families with tiny tots, and finish around 9:30pm. There’s no shortage of bars either, from snack spots by the pool to a dedicated juice shack and a sports venue serving midnight munch. And we’ve saved the best till last, if you’ve got a sweet tooth you’ll find the chocolate bar located in the lobby, which is open between 3pm and 6pm. The perfect place to satisfy those cravings.

If you think you’re impressed now, wait until you check out the facilities! We’re talking about four swimming spots, one of which is a relaxation pool. And if you want to get your blood pumping, there’s an onsite waterpark daring you to take on its fastest slides. Away from the water, there’s just as much action thanks to the hotel’s bowling alley, cinema, funfair and mini disco. The in-house entertainment will win you over with its acrobatic shows, karaoke, DJs and weekly bingo. Need a place to kick back? The spa centre does amazing anti-stress applications, Cleopatra milk baths and traditional Turkish hammams. Don’t worry about the kids either, they’ll have a blast in the mini club with its supersize playground.

Now you’ve been blown away by the hotel, let's talk about its location in awe-inspiring Antalya. Not only are you positioned along the Blue Flag shores of Lara Beach, but you’re next door to the Sultan Bazaars, a shopping centre with over 70 stores! And you won’t be short of places to grab a cocktail, with Lara Beach often dubbed the Las Vegas of Turkey due to its thriving clubbing scene. But it’s not all about drinks and discos, Antalya Aquarium is a place for families to explore the underwater world with sharks, stingrays and tropical fish among its marine life.
