Just 50 metres from the beach on one side and with the mountain range on the other, the Elexus occupies a prime stretch of the city’s headland. A five-star family favourite, it has six pools and an aquapark, a Mini Club for kids (where they can also eat together) regular dance shows, live concerts for all ages and an Alexis Wonderland. Those needing some adult time can hang out at the exclusive over-18 Beach Club (where DJs play by night) and spend some time at the in-house full-service spa. Dining takes place in the Reflection and Leaf Main Restaurants, with snacks at Gozleme.
