The rather fancy-looking Swandor Hotel and Resort Topkapi Palace enjoy a splendid beachfront location in the super popular area of Lara Beach in Turkey. Lara Beach features a Vegas-like strip that is packed with hotels which are all modelled on world-famous landmarks.
The Topkapi Palace is modelled on its namesake, a very famous palace in Istanbul and features the sort of archways, domes and pillars that you would expect from such a regal building. You will also find masses of bars, nightclubs and restaurants at Lara Beach. All of this lies along an epic eight-kilometre stretch of golden sandy beach, where long lazy days can be spent soaking up the Turkish sun.
Highlights
There are plenty of family-friendly facilities here. For example, there is a great-sized main pool which is the ideal spot for family games and lap swimming. There is also a mini water park complete with colourful waterslides where the whole family can have fun making a splash.
There are plenty of dry land activities too. You can make the most of activities like tennis, yoga and volleyball, or adults may choose to visit the luxury spa where there is also an indoor pool, a Turkish bath and a sauna.
