Ramada Resort by Wyndham Akbuk

The laidback resort of Akbuk – once a small fishing village – is all about great beaches, a relaxed atmosphere, and almost year-round sunshine. With a prime spot in the town, Ramada Resort by Wyndham Akbuk could be the perfect spot for your seaside holiday.

With the long stretches of golden sand, and the shallow non-tidal waters, a trip to the beach is a must when you’re on holiday here. Take advantage of the hotel’s private patch of sand, which you can reach in about 12 minutes on foot, or hop on the hotel’s shuttle bus to give the legs a rest. And if you want to explore further afield, you can drive to Altinkum in around half an hour. Back at the hotel the large outdoor pool and separate kids pool are ideal for cooling off in the Mediterranean sun. There’s a fully equipped fitness centre and an on-site spa available, too.

The hotel lays on a range of Turkish and international options at the main buffet restaurant, while two à la carte places serve up Turkish and seafood specialties. For something sweet, grab a traditional Turkish pastry from the poolside bar – and maybe a cold beer while you’re at it. For something a bit different, wander out into the main resort. You’ll find plenty of bars and restaurants serving up some great local eats, as well as cosy bars offering the perfect setting for a nightcap.
