Local shops and restaurants are around 1.1km away for a quick browse or a change of scene, while Side’s harbour, ancient amphitheatre and Temple of Apollo are roughly 18km away – easy to reach by local dolmus or taxi for a day of sightseeing and shopping.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Pool‑days are a big part of life at Ali Bey Park Manavgat. Three main outdoor freshwater pools are spread through the gardens, including a dedicated children’s pool and an adults‑only option for quieter swims. A heated pool (seasonal) extends the swimming season in spring, and all come with loungers and parasols.
The star of the show is the aqua park: a full waterpark inside the resort, with around 25 slides ranging from mini‑slides for little ones to multi‑lane racers, tube slides, kamikaze drops, freefall chutes and family rafting rides. There’s plenty of splash‑around space as well as slides, and opening hours vary with season and occupancy.
Step beyond the pools and you’re right on the Mediterranean. The sand‑and‑shingle beach has sunbeds and parasols, with beach bars close to hand and a choice of watersports available locally.
Spa, sports & wellness
If you like an active break, Ali Bey Park Manavgat is a standout choice. The on-site Tennis Centre is one of the largest in the world, with 61 courts (including kids’ courts and floodlit options), five padel courts, a tennis school with coaching, weekly tournaments, racket hire and a sports shop. Coaching and many services here are chargeable locally.
There’s also an air‑conditioned gym with cardio equipment, free weights and a stretching zone, plus a packed programme of activities such as aerobics, aqua aerobics, mini‑golf, paddle, table tennis, darts and yoga (some may incur a fee).
For something a bit different, the 380m Adventure Park weaves through the trees with cable cars, wooden bridges, climbing nets and zip-style features. Pre‑booking is required and use is subject to availability and local charges.
Down at the spa you’ll find a classic Turkish bath, sauna and steam room, alongside massage cabins and beauty treatment rooms (16+, extra charge). There’s also an on-site hairdresser, mini-market and reception services including luggage storage and equipment hire such as pushchairs, sun tents and wheelchairs (local fees).

Many serve a wide range of local, international and some premium drinks under the All Inclusive Plus programme, with opening times varying by season and occupancy.
