If you’re the type of family that loves activity holidays, but likes to chill as well, ROBINSON have resorts made just for you. You’ll find them worldwide, but for 2023 we have our eyes on three ROBINSON resorts in particular. See what you think.
Every family is different when it comes to defining the perfect holiday. Some long for lazy days spent by the pool, others want action-packed activities and experiences. Although now, just as many families are looking for a balance of the two. As specialists in family holidays with 26 resort clubs around the world, ROBINSON have all sides covered. And, as their motto is ‘Share The Moment’, you know that having fun together is guaranteed.
Share The Moment and the fun with your kids at ROBINSON resorts
Each ROBINSON resort is unique, but all have the same philosophy when it comes to family holidays: kids come first.
Although ROBINSON have also thought of lots to make life easier for parents too. ROBY Babysets are free of charge, you only have to ask when you book. As well as babysitting services, ROBY kids clubs look after children from two years right up to age 17. And it’s not one-size-fits-all. In fact there are four different clubs, so you know your child is having the type of fun that’s right for their age and stage.
- SUPER MINIS is where kids from age two are encouraged to do all the things toddlers love like singing, dancing, painting and playing. Fully trained childcare staff – cutely called ROBINS – are in charge of the fun. And the learning can include anything from story time and puppet shows to sandcastle building.
- Children aged from three to six years have their very own activity-packed club. It’s called ROBY CLUB and open between six and seven days a week on family activity holidays.
- R.O.B.Y focuses on sport, fun and creativity for seven to 12 year olds. Activities here can range from beach games and hip-hop classes to art workshops.
- Teenagers aren’t overlooked at ROBINSON, quite the opposite. ROBS for 13 to 17 year olds lets teens hang out with other teens and just chill. But it’s also the club for sporty kids and creative kids. Plus it comes with an exciting activity programme, adult-free space and gentle supervision.
ROBINSON kids clubs are available at most resorts. So, for families that love to take active holidays together, here are three of the best resorts for both children’s clubs and family sporting activities.
ROBINSON NOBILIS: family activity holidays on Turkey’s sunniest coast
Turkey’s Mediterranean region runs along the country’s south coast and is popular with families year round thanks to mild winters and hot summers. Think average temperatures of 14° in winter and upwards of 30° come summer. This idyllic area’s dazzling blue seas earn it the title, Turquoise Coast, and it’s where you’ll find ROBINSON NOBILIS resort, an ideal choice for active families.
Children can get stuck into activities and sports at kids club here. Free swimming and tennis taster sessions are also available. And you can even enrol your kids in the resort tennis school if they get a taste for the game. Meanwhile, with children well cared for and happy, parents can relax and spend time playing on the resort’s beautiful 18-hole golf course, or even book a round or two at one of the 14 other golf courses within a 20 minute drive.
If that isn’t enough activity, why not try the fantastic WellFit programme which features yoga, pilates and aqua aerobics as well as water sports like sailing and water skiing.
Then once you’ve taken advantage of all that and more, take a trip to Antalya and visit the historic old town. Alternatively, go on an off-road tour into the Taurus Mountains, an amazing adventure for older kids. And in the evening, tired but happy, choose from one of the five NOBILIS restaurants before enjoying some of the resort’s evening entertainment.
