Rizom Tatil Koyu

Rizom Tatil Köyü is ideal for those who want to get away from it all and discover a peaceful, natural environment.

• The holiday village is a popular choice for Muslim families who will enjoy the family-friendly environment and the convenience of being able to stay in the comfortable family bungalows. Young children will love the sense of freedom which comes from having so much space to run around.
• Rizom Tatil Köyü is a good choice for anyone who wants to combine a stay in Istanbul with a visit to the coast, or combine a stay on the Sea of Marmara with sightseeing in historic Bursa.
• The Sea of Marmara location is perfect for those who have to holiday in school summer holidays and find the heat of the Mediterranean overwhelming in July and August – being further north the climate is much more pleasant, with an average temperature of 22°C.

Rizom Tatil Köyü is an alcohol-free holiday village, serving only halal food. It enjoys a range of halal-friendly amenities including dedicated women-only and men-only outdoor and indoor pools and spas. Modest swimwear is worn on the beach.

Rizom Holiday Village is set on the beachfront, which is a long strip of golden sand. It is on the south coast of the Sea of Marmara. The Sea of Marmara connects the Aegean with the Sea of Marmara so it is largely surrounded by land. Its water is much less salty, particularly on the surface, than other seas, which is pleasant for swimming, but means that sea plants are more likely to grow here.

One of the big attractions of the Rizom Holiday Village is the extensive women-only section which stretches over some 5000 square metres and incorporates 4 open-air swimming pools, waterslides, activity and entertainment area, café, indoor heated swimming pool and a spa centre with a sauna, Turkish Bath, steam rooms, salt rooms and massage rooms. It is the largest women-only facility in Turkey’s Marmara region.

It also has a dedicated men-only section with outdoor swimming pools, indoor pool and spa.

The sandy beach is a mixed gender family area, where modest swimwear is worn.

One of the best things about the Rizom Holiday Village is the sense of space. There are grassy lawn areas as well as the long sandy beach. Younger children will enjoy the attractive playground with swings, slides and see-saws. There is also a games room and in high season children’s activities are organised as part of the Kids’ Club. Over the summer months, children can use the kids’ pools with waterslides adjacent to the men-only and women-only outdoor swimming pools. As a general guide, girls over 6 are only allowed in the women-only section and boys over 6 are only allowed in the men-only section.

The accommodation at Rizom Tatil Köyü is ideal for families, with a choice of air-conditioned Family Bungalows and Deluxe Family Bungalows which have a bedroom with a double and single bed, a bathroom and a separate living room with a sofa bed and a balcony.
