Map & location


Ovacik, Dalaman Area, Turkey

Ovacik is a peaceful hillside village in south‑west Turkey, perched above the famous Blue Lagoon at Oludeniz. Orka World Hotel & Aquapark sits in spacious, well-tended gardens in a quieter part of the resort, with mountain views and easy access to beaches and nightlife. Stroll around 700m into Ovacik for low-key bars and eateries, or head 1.5km down the road to lively Hisaronu for neon-lit nights, shops and family attractions.

The hotel is also well placed for day trips: the Blue Lagoon and Oludeniz beach are within easy reach, Babadağ Mountain is nearby for paragliding and panoramic cable car rides, and boat trips along the Turquoise Coast are a must for sea-lovers.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Pool days are a big part of the Orka World story. On site you’ll find three outdoor freshwater pools, including a dedicated children’s pool and a main pool with shallow children’s section, all backed by sunloungers and parasols. The vibe ranges from lively around the animation areas to more relaxed corners for reading and sunbathing. Inflatables and water toys are permitted in selected pools, ideal for younger guests.

There’s also an indoor heated pool (typically heated between late April and early November), useful at the start and end of the season.

The star attraction is Orka World Aquapark, located around 1km away and accessible via a regular shuttle. Here you’ve got 13 slides for thrill-seekers, a winding lazy river, wave pool, splash zone and surprise shows from the animation team through the day (seasonal opening: usually 01 May–31 October 2025, and 01 May–15 October 2026; dates can change). Remember that food and drink purchased inside the aquapark are not part of the hotel’s All Inclusive plan.

The nearest sandy beaches and the iconic Blue Lagoon at Oludeniz are about 4.5km away, easily reached by taxi or local dolmuş buses, where you can mix pool time with days by the Aegean Sea.

Spa, sports & wellness


Stay active at the compact but well-equipped gym, with cardio machines and fixed strength equipment (typically open 08:00–18:00, minimum age 16). Elsewhere you can join in with darts, table tennis and small-sided football, plus organised team games and family activities run by the animation crew.

For wind-down time, head to the spa. Facilities typically include a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and a menu of massage and beauty treatments (local charges apply; spa services usually for ages 12+). It’s a great way to soothe muscles after a day at the slides.

Around the resort you’ll also find a children’s playground, landscaped gardens and practical services such as a 24-hour reception with luggage storage and motorised scooter charging (charges may apply). Entertainment is a big part of the experience, with daily daytime activities between mid-May and late October, regular evening shows, karaoke, live music, mini-disco and professional performances in peak season, plus a softer programme with occasional entertainment outside those dates.

Height, weight and age restrictions apply for certain slides, and opening dates are usually May–October but can change.

All Inclusive typically covers buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main restaurant, plus snacks at selected times between meals for at least five hours per day.

Premium brands, fresh juices and some speciality coffees can attract an extra charge, and anything consumed inside Orka World Aquapark itself is payable locally.
Are there quiet room options away from the main pools?
If you’re looking for a slightly quieter setting, the annex rooms – including standard annex rooms, swim-up annex rooms and annex rooms with private pool – are located approximately 400m from the main hotel building. These are popular with couples and families who like access to the facilities but prefer a more peaceful base, especially the private pool and swim-up categories.
Does the hotel have heating or indoor facilities for early and late season stays?
Yes. In addition to the outdoor pools and aquapark (seasonal), Orka World Hotel & Aquapark offers an indoor freshwater pool, typically heated from late April to early November, as well as an indoor spa area and a full entertainment programme that adapts to the season, with a lighter schedule during the cooler months.

Can I walk to Hisaronu from the hotel?
