Where the hotel is
Turtle Bay Village is a holiday village in Esentepe, on the north coast of Northern Cyprus to the east of Girne (Kyrenia). Its village-style layout makes it a natural choice for families and longer stays. Carrington Sea Magic and Korineum Golf & Beach Resort are both a short drive away, and the surrounding coastline has a calmer, more rural feel than the centre of Girne.
Travelling with little ones? Add a baby seat or child seat as an extra when you book, and the vehicle will arrive at Ercan Airport with it already fitted. Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign, loads the luggage and takes you directly to the village entrance. Free cancellation means you can cancel without charge if your plans change.
