Ela Quality Resort Belek

Ela Quality Resort Belek is impressive, to say the least. The property is vast, comprised of gardens, a private sandy beach with loungers, a pier unfolding over the sea (and leading to a rather scenic spot for sundowners) and seemingly endless pools where the whole family can have their fun. Waterslides, splash ponds, Olympic size lap pools, and freeform waters crisscrossed by bridges all surrounded by patios and combine to make up 6,630sq m in total, so you won’t be short of places to bathe in the sunshine either. Nor will you be left wanting for somewhere to dine, with 12 bars and eight restaurants at your fingertips that offer everything from haute French fare to Japanese teppanyaki, relaxed beach bars to fun nightclubs. Entertainment is something Ela Resort delivers exceedingly well, with performances taking place in the outdoor amphitheatre or cabaret stage, movie screenings, games rooms and much more. Children can entertain themselves and coordinate fashion shows, play doctor or dentist and other roles, all in Q City at the Fashion House, Hospital, Dentist House and Fire Station. The aim is to help kids learn while having fun, though there are countless more activities for them including treasure hunts, festivals and arts and crafts, among other things. This leaves the grown-ups to play some sport, have a romantic meal, relish a spa session (the hammam is particularly special) or enjoy a fitness class – whatever you feel like doing while in Turkey, rest assured you’ll find it here.
