FAMILIES
Big experiences for little people
A world of their own — play, creativity and discovery
Suite and villa guests can enjoy access to world-class childcare run by the renowned and trusted Worldwide Kids, for babies aged six months and up. Know that your baby or toddler will be safe and stimulated at Willow Village Crèche, which can also be pre-booked before you arrive. Now you just have to decide whether you want to head out for a long lunch, practice your plank at a yoga class… or just doze off on your terrace or balcony sunbed.
Willow Village Children’s Clubs
Let children have some fun of their own at Willow Village Kids, who run two lively and action-packed clubs—one for 4-8 year olds and one for 8-12 year-olds. BAYOU’s childcare offering is run by the renowned and trusted Worldwide Kids.
Willow Village Teen Club
Older children will be kept busy, with their own bespoke programme and club. Willow Village runs a host of teen-friendly activities. If your 12-17 year olds are unsure, we have two words for them: gaming room. They’ll have a gaggle of friends in minutes.
Aqua Parks and Theme Parks
Some of the best memories at BAYOU are made with a trip to the onsite theme parks and water parks at Anda and Lara. There is a huge selection of slides to get the adrenalin going, as well as more manageable options for smaller children (or, for that matter, nervous adults).
Spa & Wellness
Add another layer of self-care to your suite or villa holiday with wellness touches at every turn
Wellness is at the heart of everything at Lara. Head barefoot down the ‘road of sense’ reflexology walk. Choose from classes to suit every mood/ fitness level, including the fun aerial yoga, in the outdoor yoga studio. If you relax more during cardio, swap the yoga out for crossfit or zumba. Later, switch off with a gentle swim in the beautiful thalasso hydrotherapy pool or in a traditional hammam at the spa.
Anda
Take your wellness in whatever form you wish when you stay at BAYOU Anda. Order yoga equipment to your room for a private workout, or head outdoors to walk and peruse the wealth of unique flora and fauna that’s all around you. Head for a yoga, pilates or zumba class of your choice or find your zen in the spa instead. There’s no need for anything more than a gentle breaststroke in the thalasso pool, followed by a traditional hammam and sauna. And breathe.
Acanthus
Self-care is taken seriously at Acanthus, with breathwork and sound healing both available during your visit. Keep up your home self-care routine and order a yoga belt and roller to workout in your room. Book in a session with a BAYOU PT or head to zumba with friends. Later, make use of the beautiful Acanthus spa, with a long session in the steam room and Turkish hammam.
Entertainment & Activities
Allow the carefully thought out programmes at BAYOU to enrich every part of your stay, and do as much or as little as you like.
Expand your knowledge at artisan workshops, or time your visit around BAYOU Music & Arts Festival. It only takes a quick glance at our walls to see that at BAYOU, art matters to us.
Watersports
Experience the stunning Delice Peninsula coastline at Anda, with a trip that can be as adrenalin-fuelled or calm as you prefer. Wander down to the watersports centre and choose anything from a ride on jet skis to a sunset sail. The sunset sail is also offered at Acanthus and Lara.
Signature Sounds
Dance until the early hours at one of BAYOU’s signature parties, offered at all three properties. Guest DJs will play tunes guaranteed to get you up on your feet, before you head back to the zen of your suite or villa.
Local Area
Explore beyond your suite or villa and take in yout stunning local surroundings. Soak in the incredible history of Turkiye, with ancient ruins and amphitheatres, or seek out hidden beaches. There’s lots of adventures ahead.
Take a drive of around 45 minutes from your suite or villa at BAYOU Anda, and you’ll come to a sight unlike any you’ve seen before. Marvel at the archeology of an incredibly preserved theatre, as well as Miletus’s ancient baths and streets.
Köprülü Canyon
Experience something different with a drive—it should take approximately an hour and a half from BAYOU Lara—to this watersports hotspot. Children will love the high-octane activities and parents will love the dramatic scenery. Win-win.
Aspendos
Discover the historical side of Türkiye, away from Side’s beaches and clear seas, with a day trip to this Roman theatre. Your car journey will take you approximately 35 minutes. That gives you plenty of time to be settled back at Acanthus with a cocktail in your hand in time for the evening entertainment. Alternatively, as Acanthus is a slightly smaller property than Anda and Lara, you may want to keep your vehicle and explore more. There is so much history to uncover in Side.
