A Family Holiday To Get All Ages Jumping For Joy

Give winter the cold shoulder and step into Spring with a holiday in the Turkish sunshine at Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort & Spa

This Easter and Summer put a spring in the step of the whole family with a memorable holiday at the luxury beach resort Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort & Spa. A fantastic resort for all the family, guests young and old will relish the variety of activities on offer. From a 650m private, sandy beach, watersports galore, 10 swimming pools, aqua park, excellent kids’ club, an extensive spa, tennis courts, plus a choice of 21 restaurants and bars – there really is something for everyone at Hilton Dalaman.

Whether you’re a family of adrenaline junkies keen to fill every moment of your holiday with activities, a family of culture vultures eager to explore the ancient history of the area, or a family of sun worshippers desperate to soak up as much sun as possible, Dalaman is the ultimate destination. A vast array of activities awaits, from watersports on the Dalyan River to turtle watching on Iztuzu beach and shopping in the vibrant markets of nearby Sarigerme. The Hilton Dalaman, positioned on a beautiful sandy beach on the Aegean coast, is the perfect base from which to enjoy all of the family-friendly activities on offer in this diverse area. 

Activities Aplenty: In addition to a 650m private sandy beach and 10 swimming pools, guests can enjoy a wide choice of watersports, tree tennis courts, archery, squash, yoga, Pilates, basketball, a 24-hour fitness centre, walking and jogging trails, plus cycling and more. The Hilton’s superb Teen’s Club encourages older children to mingle and make the most of their holiday with an exhaustive choice of activities and excursions.

Younger guests will make a beeline for the Kids Paradise Pool, complete with waterslides plus an additional two heated pools just for children, as well as the top notch kids’ club Capri Kidz Paradise and playground. The kids’ club even has its own on-site children’s farm where little ones can enjoy feeding and stroking the farm animals. A special picnic trip to the farm is a must for animal lovers (included for all guests) and includes a delicious box of edible treats such as croissants, juice and cakes. 

Safe in the knowledge that youngsters are happy, making friends and enjoying a range of arts, crafts, sports and more, parents can enjoy precious adult time. Relax poolside with a good book, enjoy a revitalising Turkish Bath or dreamy massage at the Elysion Spa, or enjoy a day on the beach in one of the resort’s luxurious private gazebos, the choice is yours. 

Set sail: Located on the beautiful coastline of Lycia, Dalaman is the ideal place to charter a yacht for the day. With pristine beaches and stunning, untouched coves to explore, setting sail on the calm Mediterranean Sea is the perfect way to entertain the whole family. Visitors can admire the gorgeous Turkish sights by sea or dive into the crystal clear waters to explore the underwater paradise, which is home to a number of shipwrecks and loggerhead turtles.

Get active: If you prefer to keep your feet firmly on land, Dalaman offers an impressive selection of adventure activities and exploration trails the whole family will enjoy. Don walking boots and sun hats and set off on an exciting walk from Iztuzu beach to Gökbel and see who can spot the most birds of prey. Adventurous families will relish the chance to raft down the River Dalaman or try their hand at abseiling and climbing. 

Explore ancient culture: Dalaman is rich in history and culture and offers a vast array of sites and ruins to explore with the family. The Lycian Rock Tombs located in Dalyan are particularly striking and a must-see; carved into the rock face, these tombs date back to the fourth century BC and were elaborately designed to mimic traditional wooden Lycian houses and impressive temples.

And relax: For a more relaxing alternative, families can enjoy a leisurely ride across Lake Koycegiz in wooden boats, through the calm waters and swaying reed beds. Here, families will find the Dalyan Mud Baths, suitable for all ages, where they can immerse themselves in the rejuvenating Turkish mud and pose for a photo before cleansing their skin in the warm sulphur pools, known for their healing qualities. 
After fun-filled and active days, families can come together in the evening to relive the day’s highlights while enjoying a meal at one of the resort’s many restaurants, from traditional Turkish treats to Italian, sushi and Teppanyaki.

With plenty of activities for all ages, a choice of spacious rooms and suites (including options for families with two and three bedrooms, swim-up access or private pools) and 21 restaurants and bars to keep even the fussiest of eaters happy, Hilton Dalaman Sarıgerme Resort & Spa is proud to be a hotel the whole family will love.
