Turkey hotel offers and travel guide
Last updated: 2026-06-17
Turkey is one of the stronger options for travellers who want resort hotels, family facilities and all-inclusive value, especially for longer summer stays and hotel-led holidays.
Why choose Turkey?
Turkey offers a wide range of resort hotels, from large all-inclusive family properties to more premium coastal stays, and hotel facilities are often strong for the price compared with many other beach destinations. A weaker Turkish lira against sterling has generally made on-the-ground costs feel like better value too, though high domestic inflation in Turkey has clawed back some of that gap — worth comparing actual hotel prices rather than assuming it's automatically cheap.
Popular hotel areas in Turkey
- Antalya and Lara Beach — large all-inclusive resorts with strong family facilities
- Side — a mix of family resorts and quieter, more traditional stays
- Bodrum — generally more upmarket and couple-friendly than the Antalya region
- Marmaris — popular for value family holidays and a livelier evening scene
- Dalaman region — covers Fethiye and Ölüdeniz, good for a quieter, scenic stay
Who Turkey is best for
- Families and all-inclusive stays
- Summer beach holidays, broadly May to October
- Value-focused travellers wanting larger hotel complexes
- Travellers who want most costs settled before they fly
What to check before booking
- Entry requirements — UK passport holders can enter Turkey for tourism for up to 90 days without a visa, as long as the passport has at least 150 days' validity remaining
- Resort area and transfer time — Antalya, Bodrum and Dalaman airports serve very different stretches of coast
- Board basis — confirm exactly what all-inclusive covers at your specific hotel
- Seasonal weather — peak summer (July–August) is hot and busy; May, June and September offer a calmer alternative

Frequently asked questions
- Do UK citizens need a visa for Turkey?
- No. UK passport holders can enter Turkey for tourism for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period without a visa, provided their passport has at least 150 days' validity remaining. There's no fee, and you don't need to apply for an e-visa in advance.
- Is Turkey good value compared to other destinations?
- Generally yes. Turkey's weaker currency against sterling has historically made day-to-day costs feel cheaper, and its largest resorts are built around all-inclusive pricing, so most of your spending is settled before you travel.
- Which Turkish resort area is best for families?
- Antalya and the Lara Beach area have the widest choice of large family all-inclusive resorts. Bodrum tends to suit couples better, while Side and Marmaris offer a mix of both.
- Is Turkey all-inclusive or half-board?
- Both exist, but all-inclusive is far more common at Turkey's larger resorts than in most other Mediterranean destinations. Always check exactly what's covered, since premium drinks and à la carte dining are common exclusions.
- When is the best time to visit Turkey?
- The resort season generally runs May to October, with July and August being the hottest and busiest. May, June and September offer cooler, quieter alternatives with the same resort facilities.
