As our collection of chic retreats and unique hotels duly affirms, 'big' is not usually our style. But in Ela Quality Resort, we have found a breathtaking exception. Ela is a large resort hotel extending along the Mediterranean coast at Belek, just 50 minutes from Antalya Airport. Yet, for all its vastness, Ela Resort embraces guests with the luxe amenities and stylish character essential to every Elixir hotel. Above all, it is simply one of the best hotels for families you will ever encounter.

500 rooms and suites offer unmatched choice, from standard rooms and deluxe suites, to private villas and two-storey family rooms set around a lagoon-like pool. In most cases, accommodation is on an all-inclusive basis. Interiors are smart, stylish, clean-lined and cosy, upgraded to first-class in every respect compared with the usual "family" hotel - plus the option of 24-hour room service.

As well as a complex of pools around the resort, Ela has its own private Mediterranean beach. Here, wooden gazebos (Beach Suites) are available for hire, complete with butler service and interior cooling system. Ela is also home to 8 restaurants, over 10 bars, extensive sport and entertainment options, a spacious games room and an opulent 4,200 square-meter spa - along with so much more. This hotel offers every flavour - gastronomic, experiential and aesthetic - that you could ever want in an unforgettable holiday. You might have to extend your stay just to experience everything.
