There’s water, water everywhere at Azura Deluxe. You won’t find just one kids’ pool here - you’ll find eight of them in the main resort and 15 in the adjacent waterpark (open mid-April to mid-October). A further 22 swimming pools are available for adults across the two sites. Plus, there’s 27 waterslides (13 reserved for the young guests). If you prefer an indoor swim, you’ll find separate pools for both grown ups and kids. Not keen on being in the water? Relax on a sunlounger on the beach, while breathing in the fresh Mediterranean air.

The children don’t have to spend the whole holiday splashing around. At the kids’ club they can learn to bake, get creative with some paints, make new friends in the play area or join in the activities led by the animation team. There’s fun for the grown ups too, including foam parties and competitive sports games. Prefer to take it easy? Visit the spa, boasting five massage rooms, a Turkish bath and a sauna. If it’s a nice day you may choose to relax in one of the outdoor Jacuzzis®.

In addition to the main restaurant, there are four a la cartes open for dinner (7-9pm), specialising in seafood, Italian, Turkish and Mexican dishes. If you’re staying for at least four nights you can enjoy one included evening meal at the a la carte restaurant of your choice. For a surcharge you can upgrade to a traditional Anatolian breakfast in the garden, where you can sample delicacies including sheep milk cheeses, börek, kaymak, soups, spicy sausages and traditional Turkish tea.

Light bites are available from the Tropicano Snack Bar. For a hot beverage visit Azura Cafe (open 10am-10pm), while a variety of soft and alcoholic drinks are available from the Piano Bar (open 9am-midnight), Aqua Bar (10am-5pm) and the poolside Flamingo (open 24 hours). You may choose to end the day with a cocktail and a dance at the Disco Bar (open 11pm-2am).

Standard rooms are a generous size of at least 30m2 with a sofa that converts into a bed for a third person. Families of up to four can be accommodated in the two bedroom Family option. Suites have a living area and two separate sleeping areas, with space for five guests. Some also boast a Jacuzzi®.

Azura Deluxe is 5.5km from the town of Manavgat, where there’s a market plus a wide range of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Just 4km north of the town lies the magnificent Manavgat Waterfall. This is an ideal spot for a picnic lunch before a short trek along one of the riverside walkways.

The beach has some restricted zones to protect the Caretta Caretta nesting areas. If you visit between July and October you may be lucky enough to see baby sea turtles emerging.
