Türkiye's coast has a wide choice of resorts for Muslim families: hotels that serve no alcohol and only halal food, many with separate pools for women. Most are around Alanya on the Mediterranean, with others near Marmaris, Fethiye and İzmir. Alanya itself is a beach town below a hilltop castle, with a busy harbour and the Red Tower.
A full guide to this place is on its way.
Good to know for Muslim travellers
- Halal food is easy to find in Alanya and the coastal towns.
- Coastal towns and villages have their own mosques.
- Many halal resorts are all-inclusive and sit outside town centres, so check the transfer time from Antalya or Gazipaşa-Alanya airport.
- Women-only pools and beach areas can have set hours, so check each hotel's details before you book.
Best time to visit
May to October is beach season; July and August are the hottest and busiest months.
