Hilton Dalaman Resort and Spa, Mediterranean Turkey

With the beach at the front and a luscious backdrop of mountains, the luxury Hilton Dalaman Resort and Spa on Turkey's Mediterranean Coast is regularly placed among the top hotels for families in Europe in the annual TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards.

A plethora of modern facilities for all the family includes seven swimming pools (some for kids, some indoors), an aquapark with waterslides, tennis courts, watersports and a world-class spa. There are also fitness classes should you want to get active, organised morning bike tours and a fitness area including treadmills and bikes specially designed for kids.

This is an all-inclusive resort, so most activities and facilities are included in your holiday price, along with the super-stylish bars and restaurants. The chic bedrooms have either a balcony or terrace, with a mountain or sea view. They include options ideal for larger families, sleeping up to six, and even some with steps direct to the pool.
