The Eftalia Hotels in Türkler: A UK Visitor's Guide

If you're a UK holidaymaker heading to Alanya, there's a good chance you've come across the Eftalia hotels — one of the best-known resort groups in the area, and hugely popular with British visitors. They're all based in Türkler, on the coast west of Alanya, and built around big, all-inclusive family holidays with a shared headline attraction: the Eftalia Island beach and waterpark complex. Here's an honest guide to what the Eftalia hotels are, what to expect, and which might suit you.

Where are the Eftalia hotels?

All in the Türkler area, on the coast roughly 18 km west of central Alanya, between Konaklı and Avsallar. That puts them about 1 to 1.5 hours from Antalya Airport and around 5 km from the centres of Konaklı and Avsallar for shops and local life. It's a calm, resort-focused stretch — exactly why it's so popular for relaxed family holidays. For the area itself, see our Türkler guide.

The big draw: Eftalia Island

The group's standout feature is Eftalia Island — a large seafront beach complex with a private beach, masses of waterslides, pools, multiple bars, dining and entertainment for all ages. The key point: all-inclusive guests staying at any Eftalia hotel get free daily access. So whichever Eftalia you book, you can enjoy the same big beach-and-waterpark hub — a major part of the appeal for families.

The Eftalia hotels at a glance

The group is made up of several all-inclusive resorts in Türkler. They differ in age, size and style, but share the family-friendly, all-inclusive approach and Eftalia Island access:

• Eftalia Aqua Resort — a large resort (opened around 2011) known for its own on-site aquapark with multiple slides, plus seven outdoor pools and a spa. A big hit for waterpark-mad families.
• Eftalia Splash Resort — a 5-star resort (opened 2013) with a strong reputation for lively entertainment and a fun, energetic, family-friendly atmosphere.
• Eftalia Marin Resort — a newer 5-star (opened 2014), directly connected to Eftalia Island, with a private sandy beach, swim-up rooms and extensive facilities; suits families and couples alike.
• Eftalia Ocean — a modern resort with a private sand-and-pebble beach, adult and children's pools, waterslides and kids' club; a comfortable family choice.
• Eftalia Holiday Village — a seafront option with pools and waterslides, spa (Turkish bath, sauna), a Mini Club for children, and a relaxed village feel.

The group has also continued to expand with newer additions. Exact facilities, star ratings and what's included can change, so always check the current hotel factsheet and recent reviews before booking.

What to expect

• All-inclusive — buffet meals, snacks, local drinks and à la carte options at most; check each hotel's specifics. See all-inclusive explained.
• Family-focused — waterslides, kids' clubs, pools and entertainment, with the huge Eftalia Island complex on top.
• Grown-up corners — many have adults-only pools, gyms or spa areas for some calm. See adults-only vs family.
• British-friendly — these resorts work closely with the UK market, so you'll find a familiar, well-organised experience and plenty of British company.

Which Eftalia might suit you?

As a rough steer based on their reputations: if an on-site aquapark is the priority, the waterslide-heavy resorts like Aqua stand out; if you want lively entertainment, Splash is known for it; if you'd like a newer 5-star right on Eftalia Island, Marin fits; and the Ocean and Holiday Village offer comfortable, family-friendly bases. That said, they all share Eftalia Island, so you won't miss out on the big attraction wherever you stay. The best approach is to compare current factsheets and recent reviews for the specific dates and rooms you want — and to weigh up the wider question of how to choose a hotel.

Getting there & making the most of it

From Antalya Airport it's around 1–1.5 hours to Türkler, so the easiest arrival is a pre-booked transfer straight to your Eftalia — a driver waiting, no taxi haggling after a long flight. See airport-to-hotel options or book a transfer. And during your stay, if you fancy a break from the buffet, want familiar fast food, a coffee or a few bits from the market, we can deliver to your hotel — handy on a quiet night in.
