Warm pool + splash park + sandy beach??

[wellingtonsandwaffles]

Would love any recommendations you might have please for somewhere that meets as many of our holiday wish list as possible!

1. warm pool - DS refuses to get in anything not actively “warm” - even better if the heated pool is outside
2. splash park or fun slides for primary kids
3. sandy beach walkable / shuttle bus
4. no car needed
5. ideally Europe

after a year of failed DIY summer holidaying in the UK we want to save up to afford something c.£1k pp for 7 days in summer holidays 2024, including travel and accommodation but not necessarily food. Possibly October half term otherwise.

does anywhere like this exist? No successful googling so far! Happy for it to be caravans / resorts / apartments! Thanks!

How many of you are there? Some companies (E.g. Jet2) offer a free child place which can make the maths a little more complicated than price pp.

Which airport would you want to fly from? How hot are you happy for the temperature to be?

The bit which will be most difficult to work out from online information is the pool temperature - but once you’ve identified some potential resorts then TripAdvisor reviews can be helpful and most destinations or even hotels with a decent British presence will have Facebook groups where you can ask for real experiences of pool temperatures

Aqua Fantasy hotel Turkey

Jet2 porto platanius beach resort or porto platanius village resort
Charnia create. 4 hour flight so not too stressful.
Stunning hotels very child friendly.
The beach resort is 50 steps to the beach and the village resort is just across the road but this one has the splash slides. The beach resort guests can use this for a small fee.
I'm here now with my DC and really loving it! The beach is very child friendly with sun bed & parasols for small daily charge. Jet2 have been faultless so far!!

I asked the beach attendant about October weather here and he said usually very nice 25/26 but can get some overcast days so if the pool is not heated (I suspect it isn't) them could be on the cooler side so that's a negative. The pool temperature at the moment is around 29/30 so average indoor pool temp but the sea is like a bath!! 🤣

Thank you!! Will look at these. Some great options. We can fly from London or Birmingham. There’s four of us, two kids two adults. Ideally it wouldn’t be much over 30 degrees, hence not Northern Africa or southern Europe in august. But we do want sun so would do it if it was the best option!

Le Sérignan Plage in the south of France has several heated pools and a decent splash park. It’s close to Beziers airport and has direct beach access.
