Overview
Set on a private swathe of Turgutreis shoreline, Kadikale Resort tumbles down towards the Aegean in a cluster of whitewashed buildings wrapped in bougainvillea. Think sea-view pools, palm-fringed lawns and a lively All Inclusive scene where families and couples can dip between waterslides, sunset cocktails and chilled-out spa time without ever leaving the resort.

Map & location
Turgutreis, Bodrum Area, Turkey
Kadikale Resort sits directly on the seafront a short drive outside Turgutreis, on the sunset-facing side of the Bodrum peninsula. The second-biggest town in the area, Turgutreis is known for its long sandy beaches, yacht-filled marina, open-air bazaars and those classic tangerine sunsets over the Greek islands.
Back at the hotel, you’re tucked away enough to feel relaxed and resort-focused, yet close to local life when you want it – hop in a taxi or dolmuş bus for shopping streets, waterside cafés and day trips along the coast.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Water babies are spoiled here. There are four outdoor freshwater pools, including two separate children’s pools and main pools with integrated shallow sections. One kids’ pool features colourful slides, while inflatables are generally permitted, keeping little ones very happy.
Sunbeds and parasols line the terraces, and complimentary pool towels are included. From the main pool you’ll overlook the sea, with steps leading down to a narrow beachfront and wooden platforms over the water – ideal for jumping into the Aegean or simply stretching out with a book and a cold drink.
Do note that facilities and opening dates for the pools can vary slightly by season and weather.
