Eftalia Splash Resort

Overview

It's splash-action, all day, every day. Eftalia Splash Resort has all the slides for the youngsters, teens and the big kids (or adults) from the wild racers to a more tame baby slide for the little 'uns. We obviously need to talk about the beach. Just hop on a quick shuttle bus to the beach, so you can get there in a jiffy (without even scuffing your flip-flops). You even get access to Eftalia Island Beach Club. Now that's a fab 2 in 1 deal!

Eftalia Island Beach Club

Hop on the handy beach shuttle and you'll have this place at your fingertips quicker than you can say baklava. Once you get there, you can choose which of the three zones fits your vibe:

• Relax Zone - think comfy cabanas and a laidback beach bar

• Kids' Zone - with a kids' club and splash park for the youngsters

• Activities Zone - waterslides, sports courts and an amphitheatre if you fancy catching a show

If that's got you excited, then wait until you get a load of this. This decked-out beach club also offers:

• 14 waterslides for adults (including the stomach-flipping black hole)

• Playgrounds and splash parks for the kids

• Snack restaurant for all those fast-food cravings (from waffles to fried chicken)

• 4 a la carte restaurants (Italian, Turkish, Asian and a grill restaurant)

• Beer, wine and soft drinks at the beach bar

• Amphitheatre with daily themed shows

• Open-air discos and foam parties

• Slushies and candyfloss (extra charge)

• Starbucks coffee (extra charge)

Just so you know, some activities - such as mini golf, watersports and the zipline - will require an extra charge. A la carte restaurants aren't included in the regular all-inclusive package so will require an extra charge, as well as any spirits from the bars.

Just a heads up, Eftalia Island won't be available through the Winter season (20/11 - 19/03) except for one beach/snack bar on the beach.

Location

• 600m from the beach, or just a few minutes on the shuttle bus to you and me (runs every 20 minutes during summer, from 09:00 - 00:00).

• Just under 1 hour and 30 minutes drive away from Antalya Airport.

• Only an 8-minute walk to the centre of Turkler if for any reason you fancy walking away from the beach and into the streets to soak up some culture!
