Turkey's Turquoise Coast for families
⛵Fethiye
Turkey
Updated 1 July 2026
Fethiye and the wider Ölüdeniz coast are where south-west Turkey does the classic family summer: calm, shallow bays like Calis and Sarigerme, big all-inclusive resorts with aquaparks and free kids clubs, and the famous Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz for a picture-perfect swim. The value is strong, the sea is warm from late spring to autumn, and the days fill themselves with gulet boat trips, the turtle beach at Iztuzu and, for teenagers, paragliders drifting down off Babadag onto the beach. Dalaman airport is close, roughly 25 minutes to Sarigerme and up to an hour to Ölüdeniz, so you can be in the pool the same afternoon. If you want a relaxed, good-value family week with a proper mix of beach, pools and boat trips, this coast is hard to beat.

Best areas to stay

- 2Calis Beach: a long, flat, shallow shore with a walkable promenade, calm and good value for young families
- 3Sarigerme and Dalaman: quiet sandy beaches closest to the airport, home to the polished flagship resorts
- 4Fethiye town and Yaniklar: the working harbour town and the greener coast just north, handy for markets and boat trips

Our KidProof picks
Hand-picked and scored on the eight things that matter to families.
in Fethiye
Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort & Spa
Rooms are set across low garden blocks, and the family categories matter here: standard family rooms are two interconnecting rooms, so parents and children each get a door to close, and the two-level Family Duplex suites suit a party with teenagers who want their own floor. Cots and high chairs are free on request, and the layout keeps a napping baby apart from the evening balcony.
in Fethiye
Liberty Lykia
Accommodation is spread through a huge pine estate in low buildings and bungalows, with family rooms and connecting options that keep everyone close. The scale is the trade-off: a sea-view room can be a hike from the main pool, so ask for something central with young children. Cots are free on request and the family categories give parents real room to spread out a week's worth of kid clutter.
in Fethiye
TUI BLUE Sarigerme Park
Rooms are tidy and modern, and the two-bedroom family villas sleep up to five with twin beds and a double sofa bed, so children get their own room. Free cribs and infant beds are available and the rooms are soundproofed, which parents of light-sleeping babies will appreciate. A calm, well-kept base rather than a flashy one.
in Fethiye
Belcekiz Beach Club
Rooms are set in low blocks around the pools, a short, flat walk from the beachfront, with family and larger apartment-style options for bigger groups. Cots are available on request. Nothing is far here, which is the real appeal with young children: beach, pool, room and restaurants all sit within a couple of minutes of each other.
in Fethiye
Club & Hotel Letoonia
Rooms and bungalows are dotted across a private peninsula of pine and garden, which is beautiful but means steps and slopes between the beach, the pools and your door. Family rooms take four comfortably, cots and baby chairs are included, and a sea or garden view is the reward for the uphill walks. Ask about buggy-friendly locations if you are travelling with a baby.
in Fethiye
Jiva Beach Resort
The resort is built around lagoon-style pools, and the two-bedroom family rooms, around 45 square metres, sleep four with the children in their own room. Free cribs and infant beds are available, and the flat, low-rise layout is kind to pushchairs and to parents carrying beach bags. Rooms are comfortable rather than luxurious, which is reflected in the friendly price.
in Fethiye
Club Tuana Fethiye
Rooms are spread across a large, green holiday-village site, comfortable and family-sized rather than smart, with family rooms that take four. Cots are available on request. It is the kind of place where the grounds, the three pools and the petting zoo matter more than the decor, and the children barely see the inside of the room until bedtime.
in Fethiye
Golden Moon Hotel
A small aparthotel where many rooms come with a kitchenette, a fridge, an oven and a microwave, which is the whole point for families with a baby or fussy toddlers: you can warm milk, store snacks and cook simple meals on your own schedule. Apartments are modest and a little dated, but they are flexible and genuinely family-sized for the price.
