Rixos Premium Belek, the family-oriented flagship of the Rixos Turkish portfolio, is the resort that most completely expresses the Turkish ultra all-inclusive idea — a vast, comprehensively included resort where the design ambition is that a family of four can spend a week without opening a wallet. For families, it is one of the best-executed propositions on the Mediterranean coast.
The Ultra All-Inclusive, at Scale
The package includes ten restaurants (Turkish, Italian, Mexican, Asian, seafood, French, a steakhouse, and several others), premium spirits including selected imported whiskies, a wine list with real depth, and a programme of activities that runs from morning yoga to evening shows. The scale is the point: the variety is wide enough that a week's dining does not feel repetitive, and the quality, while not matching Maxx Royal Belek's, is consistently good.
The Rixy Kids Club
The Rixy Kids programme is, for families, the resort's defining feature. Rather than a token room with a television, Rixy Kids is a structured programme of age-banded activities — a crèche for under-threes, a kids' club for 4-12s, and a teens' lounge — running from morning to late evening. The staffing is professional, the facilities are substantial, and the consequence, for parents, is the rare experience of an all-inclusive holiday where the children are genuinely occupied.
The test of a family all-inclusive is whether the parents actually get a holiday. Rixos Premium Belek passes it.
The Beach and the Aquapark
The private beach is a long stretch of Mediterranean sand, attended by a team that sets loungers generously and runs a water-sports programme. The aquapark — multiple slides, a wave pool, a lazy river — is the feature that most engages older children. For adults, the spa, the adults-only pool section, and the evening entertainment offer the counterweight.
Why It Matters
Rixos Premium Belek is the Turkish all-inclusive for families who want the convenience and comprehensiveness of the ultra-inclusive model, and who prioritise children's facilities and beach over the more adult, golf-led proposition of Maxx Royal. It is, in its category, the benchmark — and a reminder that a well-run family all-inclusive is a genuinely valuable thing.
