When it comes to family holidays, many questions arise. And above all, they concern the time spent by children at the resort. We found an ideal location on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, where leisure activities are planned for guests of all ages. Spoiler alert: this is a 5-star BIJAL resort.
Last July, another resort was opened in the ancient Side on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey: the 5-star BIJAL opened its doors. The idea and concept of the resort is that every guest who finds himself here tries to experience a new sensory experience, to get to know himself and himself better, first and foremost. Away from the noise of the city, surrounded by a real oasis and thanks, among other things, to the well-kept interior and exterior of the villas. To make the immersion in the desired state as comfortable and organic as possible, one of Istanbul’s most famous studios, Autoban, was involved in the creation of the project. Its portfolio includes work on projects such as the Joali Being wellness center, the Joali Maldives flagship in the Maldives, and the iconic Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus, built in 1955.
There is no time to get bored at BIJAL (unless you want it that way). The resort team has taken special care to create a cultural and entertainment programme. If you have long wanted to try your hand at the tennis court, it is for your hands and feet. If you have dreamed of a truly powerful culinary masterclass, even better. The latter is also accompanied by wine tastings and private film screenings. For those who like to get down to earth and slow down, all the right conditions have been created here as well. We are talking, of course, about a spa centre with a Turkish bath, sauna, steam rooms and massage rooms. And, as you can see, all of the above sounds doubly pleasant if you spend an hour or two in a fitness or yoga studio, training Pilates or dancing.
BIJAL solves one of the most pressing problems for parents in an organized and fast way. Yes, they know how to make a holiday with children comfortable for everyone. First of all, in each villa you will find board games and an entertaining game specially developed for the resort with cards and Instax photos (we are sure that parents will like it too). It is possible to set up a tent on the territory of the villa (let it be just a little camping adventure), ask the concierge for inflatable toys for the pool and even a trampoline. For each child there is a personal bicycle corresponding to his age, height and experience. BIJAL has a mini club that welcomes guests from 3 to 12 years old. By the way, the option of a private babysitter is also available. The animators’ program includes an impressive list of interactive and entertaining master classes: in pottery, painting and cooking. But that’s not all: for the little ones, the kids’ club has a restaurant with a special menu.
