Since opening in 2022, Cullinan Belek has become a favourite among families seeking luxury. After recently winning the title of Europe’s Leading Luxury All-Inclusive Resort at the World Travel Awards 2024, you can guarantee everything’s taken care of from meals and activities, all the way down to those finer details.
It knows a thing or two when it comes to family holidays too, with an impressive list of facilities and services focused solely on families. Want to see what all the fuss it about? Here’s why your little ones will love staying at Cullinan Belek...

The pools, beach and aqua park
Keen swimmers in your gang? They’ll be in their element taking their pick from the whopping seven swimming pools on offer here. Most of them are outdoors and feature shallow children’s sections, but there’s also a heated indoor pool available throughout winter that’s great for baby paddlers.
The best part, though, is the aqua park. We’re talking 3,000m² of splash-tastic fun and games. There are 13 waterslides in total, nine of which are in the Aquatower, including Bodyracer, Magichole and Tunnel Freefall. It’s designed for both adults and children, so even the grown-ups can get in on the action too.

If beach days are more your thing, make a beeline for the 800m stretch of private sandy beach. There's a delightful combination of natural sand, pristine white sand and a touch of lush grass, so you can relax on whichever’s best for you. Why not laze under a cabana with a cocktail in hand while the kids work on their sandcastle-making skills?

Range of restaurants
Even the fussiest of eaters will find something they love in the 15 amazing restaurants on-site. From buffet dining and snack bars to Italian cuisine and traditional Turkish dishes, there’s all sorts to choose from.
Need to satisfy a sweet tooth? Chocolaterie Patisserie and Chocolate Atelier showcase delicious pastries and chocolate flavours from all over the world. You can even take your delicate chocolates away in a dainty box.
Midday snacks, cooling drinks and ice creams can be grabbed from one of the pool bars and snack bars. Up extra early or late at night with your little ones? Cullinan Bistro is open 24/7 to curb those cravings and satisfy your need for snacks.

Upupa kids’ club
The expertly trained team at Upupa are on hand to give your little ones the best holiday experience possible. Everyone from tiny tots up to teenagers aged 16 are catered for, with three separate, tailored clubs on offer. It’s open from 10:00 until 02:00.
The club’s named after the native hoopoe bird that lives in the region and aims to reflect its chirpy nature and colourful appearance. In the unique nature workshops, kids can get up close to over 500 different species of Mediterranean plant life alongside more than 100 different bird species.

1-3-year-olds
For the youngest holidaymakers, there’s a sensory play programme available, as well as a food corner, milk minibar, baby bath sets and a special playground for babies. All children under two must be accompanied by an adult.

4-12-year-olds
For the in-betweens, there are multiple playrooms designed for different age groups. They can also make the most of an indoor soft play area and sand playground, mini discos, board games, video games, dance studio and much more. There are even workshops that feature painting, dancing and DJing.

13-16-year-olds
In this specially designed teens’ club, there’s a soft drink and mocktail bar, games room, DJ area and a cinema hall. There’s fashion design, woodwork, drawing and ceramics workshops too.
Within the kids’ club, there’s also the Upupa Kids’ Restaurant which features a healthy and tasty buffet for the little ones, but presented in a fun and entertaining way. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all served here.
