Turkey is one of the easiest destinations for a family holiday: a straightforward flight, all-inclusive, kids' clubs and gently sloping beaches. Here's how to pick a resort and hotel for your children's ages.

A holiday with children calls for a different approach to choosing a hotel than a trip for two. A beautiful view takes a back seat, while the beach, pools, food and distance from the airport come first. Turkey’s strength is that along its coast you can find an option for almost any child’s age and family budget.
A resort with long sandy beaches and large hotels with spacious grounds. There are many family hotels with water parks, kids’ clubs and entertainment. The transfer from Antalya airport is relatively short.
The urban part of Antalya, with sandy beaches and big hotels. It’s close to the airport, which is convenient with little ones, and you can easily go into the city or to a water park.
Sandy beaches, shallow water near the shore and a historic centre with ancient ruins that’s lovely for an evening stroll. A good balance between hotel time and exploring.
Pine forests, mountains and clear sea, but the beaches are mostly pebbly. It suits families with school-age children who love swimming and excursions.
Alanya is further from the airport, but it has many hotels across different price ranges and sandy beaches. It suits families who like being able to head into town.

With little ones, early or late summer is best: June or September. The sea is already warm and the sun isn’t as harsh as in July. If your trip is tied to school holidays, book early: family rooms in popular hotels sell out first.
Most families choose all-inclusive: there’s no need to think about where to feed the children, and drinks and snacks are available all day. But hotel restaurants differ: some have a separate kids’ buffet line, others only the main buffet. Ask the manager about this in advance.
For children, the whole journey counts: the flight, waiting for luggage and the transfer. A private transfer costs more than a shared one but saves time and energy, especially at night. Our manager will find flight options from Tashkent, both direct and with connections, for your dates.
A first-aid kit with your children’s usual medicines, high-SPF sunscreen, a sun hat, swimming armbands or a vest and a favourite toy for the journey. And be sure to get insurance for every family member.
With school-age children you can add a couple of days in Istanbul or Cappadocia to your beach time. Children usually love a hot-air balloon flight (subject to age limits), the aquarium and boat trips.
With teenagers, the key is making sure the holiday isn’t boring. Look for hotels with water slides, sports grounds and teen programmes, or choose resorts where you can go out in town in the evening. Many teenagers enjoy rafting, beginner diving and jeep safaris, but always check the age limits with the organisers.
Children need a few days to adjust to the new climate and routine. That’s why we usually recommend 7–10 nights or more for families, so the first days of adjustment don’t take up the whole holiday.

Families with little ones usually choose Belek, Side and Lara, which have plenty of sandy beaches with a gentle slope into the sea. Kemer has more beautiful scenery, but its beaches are mostly pebbly.
There are no age restrictions for travel, but with infants you should consider the length of the flight and transfer. It's worth consulting a paediatrician before travelling with a baby.
Families usually look for a kids' pool with slides or a water park, a mini club, a children's menu, family rooms and a sandy beach. For babies, a cot and a high chair in the restaurant are important.
Most families choose June and September: the sea is warm and it's less hot than in July and August. Many families are tied to school holidays, in which case it's best to book the hotel early.
