Hotel overview, what to expect at TUI BLUE Sensatori Akra Fethiye
Akra Fethiye is a large resort, but its layout helps it feel more flexible than a traditional family hotel. Family, adult and mixed-use zones create different atmospheres across the grounds, so guests can choose where they spend their time.
Families have children’s pools, organised activities, entertainment and dedicated spaces. In contrast, adults can retreat to quieter pool areas when they want a slower pace.
There are five pools across the resort, while the beach sits directly in front of the hotel. As a result, it is easy to switch between pool days and the sea without needing transport or lengthy walks away from the property.
Dining is another major reason to consider Akra Fethiye. Six restaurants range from the main international buffet to Turkish, Italian, Far Eastern and steakhouse menus. Meanwhile, bars and coffee stops are spread around the resort.
The hotel also works well as a base for exploring the Dalaman region. Fethiye is close enough for a straightforward trip, while famous places such as Ölüdeniz and Kayaköy can add sightseeing to an otherwise relaxing resort holiday.

Best time to visit TUI BLUE Sensatori Akra Fethiye
Fethiye has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and a long season for beach holidays. May to October is the main period for warm weather and swimming.
Spring, April to early June
Temperatures start climbing during spring, while the surrounding countryside remains particularly green. May and early June are attractive choices if you want sunshine without the strongest summer heat.
Why go: warm days, greener scenery, easier sightseeing and a slightly quieter resort
Summer, mid June to August
July and August are hot, dry and lively. Temperatures regularly climb beyond 30°C, so most days naturally revolve around the pools, beach and shaded resort areas.
Why go: dependable sunshine, warm sea temperatures and the fullest family activity programme
Autumn, September to October
September remains very warm, while October usually brings more comfortable temperatures. The Mediterranean also retains much of its summer warmth, making autumn particularly good for swimming.
Why go: warm sea, strong sunshine and fewer peak summer crowds
Which month would I choose?
Late May, June or September offer a particularly good balance. You still get proper beach weather, while sightseeing around Fethiye is generally more comfortable than during the hottest weeks of July and August.
Who is TUI BLUE Sensatori Akra Fethiye perfect for?
👨👩👧 Families
Akra Fethiye is particularly strong for families. Children have dedicated pools, a Play House and organised entertainment, while spacious rooms make sharing easier.
The resort’s Play House caters for children aged 3 to 12 and includes activities such as creative sessions, a science lab and cinema experiences.
Best choice: look at family rooms or Family Swim Up accommodation when extra space and easy pool access matter most.
💕 Couples
Couples can enjoy the resort without spending the whole holiday around children’s facilities. Adult zones, quieter pools, spa treatments and speciality restaurants provide a more relaxed alternative.
For an entirely adults-only experience, it is also worth comparing this hotel with The Residence at TUI BLUE Sensatori Akra Fethiye, which sits alongside the main resort.
👶 Families with younger children
Having pools, food, entertainment and the beach together can remove a lot of the logistics from travelling with younger children. In addition, the hotel provides dedicated services designed around families travelling with babies.
🍽️ Food lovers
Six restaurants give Akra Fethiye more variety than many conventional All Inclusive resorts. Turkish, Italian, Far Eastern and grill menus provide alternatives when you want a change from the main buffet.
🏊 Guests who love swim-up rooms
Several accommodation categories include pool access directly from the terrace. If this is one of your main reasons for booking, compare the exact room description because location, occupancy and room size vary.
🎾 Active travellers
You do not have to spend every day on a sunlounger. Tennis, beach volleyball, yoga, Pilates, Zumba, aqua activities, archery and a fitness centre are among the available activities.
Rooms at TUI BLUE Sensatori Akra Fethiye
Akra Fethiye has more than 400 rooms across family, adult and mixed-use areas. Standard rooms are generous compared with many resort hotels, while swim-up and family options provide useful upgrades.
Room names can differ slightly between Akra Hotels and the TUI booking system. Therefore, always check the exact occupancy, outlook and location shown when comparing holiday prices.
Standard land view rooms
These rooms measure approximately 43.5 square metres and can accommodate couples, smaller families or groups depending on the exact configuration.
They are a good starting point if your priority is enjoying the wider resort rather than paying extra for a particular outlook.
Standard sea view rooms
Sea view rooms are also around 43.5 square metres and add an outlook towards the Mediterranean. They work particularly well for couples or smaller families wanting a view without moving into a suite.
Side sea view rooms
A partial sea view can provide a useful middle ground between land view and full sea view accommodation. Selected configurations sleep up to four guests.
Swim-up rooms
Swim-up rooms provide direct access to a shared pool from the terrace. Selected rooms measure approximately 49 square metres and can accommodate up to four people, depending on the booked category.
Booking tip: if direct pool access is important, check whether the swim-up room sits in a family, adult or mixed-use area before booking.
Family Swim Up rooms
Family Swim Up rooms measure around 51 square metres and accommodate up to four guests. The extra space and direct shared-pool access make them one of the most appealing room choices for families.
Family rooms
Larger family accommodation provides more practical living and sleeping space when travelling with children. Different views and layouts are available, so compare the room plans rather than selecting by name alone.
Accessible rooms
Accessible accommodation is available, with selected rooms measuring approximately 43.5 square metres. If you have specific accessibility requirements, confirm the exact facilities with TUI before booking.
Room selection tip: start by deciding what matters most: price, sea view, family space, direct pool access or a quieter adult area. That will make the long room list much easier to compare.

The Restaurant
The Restaurant is the main buffet venue, serving a broad selection of Turkish and international food. It is the easiest option for families and provides plenty of choice when everyone wants something different.
Sunset À La Carte Restaurant
Sunset sits beside the beach and specialises in grilled dishes and steakhouse-style dining. Views towards Kızılada and Şövalye Island make its setting part of the experience.
Basilico À La Carte Restaurant
Basilico focuses on Italian cuisine, with familiar Mediterranean dishes and a menu built around fresh ingredients.
Tao À La Carte Restaurant
Tao brings Far Eastern flavours into the restaurant line-up. It is a useful change of pace after several days of Mediterranean or buffet dining.
Amber À La Carte Restaurant
Amber is the place to explore traditional Turkish cuisine. Kebabs, mezze-style dishes, pastries and desserts showcase more local flavours within the resort.
Neoman Lounge À La Carte Restaurant
Neoman Lounge combines international cuisine with views across the Mediterranean and towards Babadağ. Its terrace gives it a particularly attractive setting for an evening meal.
Bars and coffee stops
Drinks are available across the resort rather than being concentrated in one central bar. Current venues include The Bar, Lime Bar, Yasmine Bar, Neoman Lounge Bar and Caretta Beach Bar.
Başka Ol provides coffee and desserts in a more relaxed setting, while the hotel also has an ice cream shop for a quick daytime stop.
What does 24-hour All Inclusive mean?
The hotel operates a 24-hour All Inclusive concept, giving guests access to food and drinks outside conventional breakfast, lunch and dinner times.
However, not every premium drink, speciality experience or restaurant service is necessarily included without conditions. Restaurant reservations and current inclusions should be checked during your stay.
Dining tip: choose your must-try speciality restaurants early in the holiday and book them as soon as possible, particularly during school holidays.

The sea is generally suitable for swimming, although the mixture of sand and fine shingle means some guests may prefer beach shoes.
Spa and wellness at Akra Fethiye

Location guide, what is near TUI BLUE Sensatori Akra Fethiye?
The hotel sits in a quieter coastal setting outside central Fethiye. This gives you the space and beachfront atmosphere of a resort while keeping some of the Dalaman region’s most popular places within reach.
Fethiye
Fethiye is approximately 10 to 12 kilometres away and can be reached by taxi or local dolmuş. The town combines a marina, harbour, restaurants, shops and traditional market areas.

Ölüdeniz
Ölüdeniz is one of Turkey’s most recognisable coastal destinations. Its lagoon, mountain backdrop and turquoise water make it a popular day trip from the Fethiye area.
Kayaköy
The abandoned stone village of Kayaköy offers a completely different experience from the beach resorts. Exploring its hillside ruins adds history and local character to a day away from the hotel.
Boat trips
Fethiye Bay is filled with islands and small coves, so boat trips are one of the easiest ways to see more of the coastline. Full-day and shorter options are available locally.
