Royal Asarlik Beach Hotel & Spa

Overview:
Stepped into the hillside above Gumbet Bay, the resort’s whitewashed buildings cascade down to the Aegean, delivering sweeping sea views from most angles. Inside, 353 recently refreshed rooms pair crisp linens with splashes of Aegean blue, while outside palm-trimmed terraces frame two pools and a private jetty. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, and an energetic animation team keeps the vibe upbeat from aqua-gym to evening cabaret.

Amenities, Sports & Entertainment:
Guests drift between the activity pool, an adults-friendly infinity pool and the wooden sun platform that juts over crystalline water. A compact gym, beach volleyball, darts and water-sports centre satisfy active types, while the spa’s hammam rituals and aromatherapy massages promise blissful downtime. Daytime fun includes yoga, pool games and archery; nights bring live bands, Turkish folklore shows and open-air discos under starry skies.

Food and Drink:
Main meals are served buffet-style in Panorama Restaurant where Turkish grills, Mediterranean salads and live-cooking pasta keep plates colourful. Guests can book an à la carte dinner in the seafood, Ottoman or Italian venues, while the beach snack bar deals in burgers, wraps and freshly baked gözleme. Sweet cravings are sorted at the patisserie with baklava and creamy ice-creams, and five bars pour cocktails, chilled beers and local wines through to sunrise.
