Frankfurt am Main, May 7, 2026 | The travel trend of 2026 has a name: The Whycation. More and more people are not just traveling anywhere – they are traveling with a reason. And the most important reason many cite is simple: spending time with the people who mean the most to them. Grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren – going on holiday together is a wish that spans all generations. The challenge: as diverse as the wishes are, the offerings must be equally suitable.

Anda Barut Collection: Insider tip on the Turkish Aegean 
On the Turkish Aegean, on the unspoiled Delice Peninsula, the Anda Barut Collection has developed a new concept for multi-generational holidays. The resort is divided into three areas: an adults-only area, a family area, and a community zone where everyone comes together. This way, grandma can spend the morning relaxing by the adults' pool, while the grandchildren let off steam in the mini-club or adventure park – and at lunchtime, everyone meets for a shared meal. The resort sets culinary standards: seven à la carte restaurants and five bars are included in the comprehensive Premium All-Inclusive offer. Active families will find tennis courts, a running track, and a private beach club. In the evening, the nightclub invites guests to unwind. For those who prefer peace and privacy, penthouse suites with private pools and sea views are available – from the 285 m² Presidential Suite with three bedrooms to the 120 m² Penthouse Suite with two separate bedrooms, ideal for families or two generations under one roof.

Bayou Villas, The Delice Peninsula: Villa living with resort comfort
Those seeking more privacy will find it at the Bayou Villas Delice Peninsula. This villa collection is also located on the grounds of the Anda Barut Collection and has been awarded the Responsible Hospitality Verified seal by Forbes Travel Guide. The 14 villas, with one or three bedrooms, each feature a private pool, a sun terrace, and modern interiors with sea views. At the same time, villa guests can enjoy the full Premium All-Inclusive offering of the Anda Barut Collection, complemented by buggy transfers, personal assistants, turndown service, and priority restaurant reservations. 

Acanthus Cennet Barut Collection: Where it all began
The Acanthus Cennet Barut Collection is the heart of Barut Hotels and the first property from which one of Turkey's most renowned hotel chains emerged. "Cennet" means "paradise" in Turkish – and the resort has lived up to this name for decades: it is located directly on the fine sandy beach of Side and combines light-filled rooms and contemporary design with warm Mediterranean charm. Families who came here as children with their parents now return with their own children. This guest loyalty, which has grown over decades, is no coincidence but an expression of a hospitality spirit passed down from generation to generation. A spacious pool landscape, a private beach, several à la carte restaurants with Anatolian and international cuisine, and a spa with a hammam and aromatherapy fulfill every holiday wish – whether grandparents prefer to relax or grandchildren want to discover the sea.

Lara Barut Collection: Luxury on the Mediterranean for all ages
Directly on the fine sandy beach of Lara near Antalya, the Lara Barut Collection welcomes its guests with a successful blend of modern design, stylish architecture, and warm Turkish hospitality. The expansive beach, the turquoise Mediterranean backdrop, and an impressive pool landscape create the perfect setting for a holiday that delights guests of all generations. Nine à la carte restaurants – from Japanese to Turkish to seafood – ensure that everyone finds their favorite dining moment. The Lagoon Area holds a special charm: Deluxe Lagoon Rooms with direct swim-up access and the coveted Penthouse Suites with private hammams and jacuzzis on the terrace are grouped around the spacious lagoon pool. 17 of these suites are located directly in the Lagoon Area, uniquely combining wellness and living. Family Suites for up to five people and a Grand Family Penthouse Suite make this hotel a top choice for families.

Bayou Villas Lara: Privacy at the highest level
Those seeking a spacious and luxurious private retreat will find it at the Bayou Villas Lara. Across an area of 25,000 square meters, 24 stylish villas in four different design styles offer living spaces from 250 to 1,000 square meters with one to four bedrooms. Each villa features a heated private saltwater pool and access to the connecting freshwater lagoon pool. Highlights such as a private gym, sauna, hammam, whirlpool, and a spa treatment room in the basement, a piano in the living room, or a fully equipped kitchen make each villa a self-contained sanctuary. At the same time, villa guests have full access to the Lara Barut Collection, including all à la carte restaurants. Thanks to all-inclusive, these can also be delivered to the villa free of charge via room service. The day begins and ends in style at the private à la carte restaurant directly in the villa area and in the exclusive Bayou Villas Lounge & Bar.
