Min 2 bed suite all inclusive active resort - does it exist?!

Does anyone have any recommendations for an all inclusive resort in Europe that has minimum 2 bedrooms in one suite? Or a resort that has villas (this would be ideal as we’re a family of really light sleepers and other people’s noise in a hotel block easily wakes us up).

We would love it to have a great swimming pool with slides and the option for activities like paddle boarding / horse riding / kayaking (happy to pay extra) or the ability to travel from the hotel to do these things. Alternatively, a hotel that was close to historical sites.

Long story short: DH, DD12 and DS11 all love a pool holiday, whereas I’d prefer to break the day up with the odd exciting thing as otherwise I’ll go stir crazy. We like an evening show as it breaks up the intense time together (they all have ADHD and can be a lot!).

We are happy to spend up to £10k for a week for the right room type. If anyone has any recommendations, I’d be hugely grateful.

Grecotel La Riviera meets all your requirements.

You might want to check out the 8 Pax Antara Genting Suites by Silaslee in Genting Highlands. It’s perfect for families who need more space since the suites comfortably sleep eight and have multiple bedrooms, so light sleepers aren’t disturbed by other guests. The property also has a pool area and plenty of indoor entertainment options, my kids loved the space for games and movies after a busy day exploring.

While it’s not directly on the beach, there are plenty of activities nearby, and you can easily arrange excursions like kayaking or day trips to local attractions. For more details and photos of the suite layout and amenities, you can check their website.

It’s a great option if you’re looking for a mix of relaxing pool time for the kids and nearby activities for adults, without the usual hotel noise.

Ikos Andalusia might be worth a look. The villas and suites are actually quiet and spaced out, not that usual “thin walls and kids thundering past your door at 7am” thing. The pools are huge and you can actually find calm bits, and they’ve got paddle boarding and kayaking right on the beach, no faff. Horse riding is nearby too, you just book it through the concierge.
Also check out Martinhal in Portugal. Their two bed villas are basically little houses so noise isn’t a nightmare. Loads of activities for kids who need to burn energy and enough things to break up the day so you don’t lose your mind sitting by a pool for seven hours straight.
Both are pricey but fit your budget and vibe pretty well.

Quite a few hotels in Turkey would meet your requirements.

We stayed at the Gural Premier in Belek, they had a variety of family rooms, suites, and villas. There was a lovely large swimming pool, and its own water park. They also have tennis courts with lessons available, and water sports (can't remember if these were included or not), plus an activity programme, but it was a large enough place that you could avoid this if you wanted. We enjoyed it so much that we went back the next year.

Thank you both so much for these recommendations. I’m looking forward to looking at them all.

@budgiegirl we have stayed in a wonderful hotel in Belek the last two years as it had the right room type and fancied a change, so the Gural could definitely work! X
