Family holiday with teens - private pool and close to buzz?

Help! I'm going round and round in circles. Trying to find holiday for four of us, including two teens, at the start of the Scottish summer holidays (June)

They're not particularly active but would get bored just sitting about all week.

One request was for a private pool (if possible to avoid stress with the sun loungers.

But the kids would like to be close enough to walk to some restaurants and feel a bit of buzz. We have done AI and like the ease of it but happy to look at self catering for this reason.

Maybe Portugal? Spain? Basically not too long a flight. Does such a place exist that won't involve remortgage?!

Dalyan in Turkey would be my suggestion, especially if you can go in June as temps will be better. There are loads of reasonable villas with pools and lots to see and do in town and the surrounding area. It's mainly self catering so lots of bars and restaurants.

It's worth looking at pools shared with just a few other houses. We hired a place last year which was pool shared between 6 apartments, but I'd say at least 75% of the time we had it to ourselves. And they would be much cheaper than a private pool.

Lagos in Portugal is ideal
