Beach Club family holiday in Turkey

The club has been completely redesigned adopting sustainable design solution and construction methods and material. Thought has been given to the design of pathways and steps to allow guests with partial mobility to enjoy the facilities. Two special needs rooms have also been included in the accommodation.

Low energy/LED lighting systems have been adopted and within public areas scene setting dimmer control panels will control the lighting.

All rooms have wonderful sea views and an automatic irrigation system will be installed throughout the gardens. The system will be supplied by suitably treated grey water.

The resort is Turkish owned and many of the staff are Turkish, progressing through the company by means of training and promotion year after year. Returning customers are delighted to be remembered by our local staff and constantly remind us that this is an important part of their holiday experience. Our flexible half board meal plan allows our customers to try the many local restaurants in nearby Yashi and Bodrum. A bike ride or gentle stroll offers the opportunity to further support the local community and we recommend visits to the local market, Turkish Hammam (bath) and other places of interest.

Children taking part in our kid's clubs enjoy nature walks, learning about the local seaside and culture. The kids’ weekly menu includes local dishes, such as pide and moussaka served by our Turkish staff. Our chefs also show the children how to make Pide and then they make their own! The children learn a Turkish word daily and are actively involved in making decorations for Turkish night and also take part in traditional dancing. A special Turkish night is organised during the week and is a great favourite with our guests.

Our environmental policy includes the use of Eco Line cleaning products for room and boat cleaning. Safety boat/outboard engines are 4 stroke, reducing emissions and fuel consumption. We use energy saving room keys and light bulbs. Our hotels operate Bio Packs, biological sewage systems in order to treat sewage and reuse the water on the gardens. We offer customer tips on environmental responsibility in our brochure, website, pre-holiday information and during briefings. This includes advice on litter and waste disposal, water conservation, energy saving, and care for local flora and fauna. We are keen to learn from our customers and invite their feedback and recommendations on our post holiday questionnaires.

Our chosen charity is currently the Amazing Grace Foundation in Antigua. The foundation runs a small home on the island for homeless and severely disabled children. Last year due to our generous guests over £7000 was raised for Amazing Grace which will be used towards the build of a new home for the children.

In addition to the above we support VISAR. Virgin Islands Search and Rescue (VISAR) is a voluntary organisation dedicated to saving life at sea. It is the officially recognised search and rescue service in the British Virgin Islands and to date we have raised several thousands pounds for this worthwhile cause. Getting youngsters on the water is important to us and we have therefore sponsored RYA's new OnBoard programme to introduce sailing and windsurfing as a sport for young people.
