Join us in Turkey for something a bit special, with our Football Course running between 25th and 29th October 2027. October half term, done properly, with football built into it.
At Regnum Carya in Belek, the Football Escapes experience has room to breathe. You’ve got a private sandy beach, pine forest all around, four full size football pitches used by Europe’s elite clubs, and a luxury all inclusive stay, alongside a football programme that keeps the kids active, engaged, and loving it.
Each morning starts on the pitch, where children train with Rio Ferdinand and our UEFA licensed coaches in a relaxed, supportive setting. It’s focused, but still fun, and it suits all abilities. While that’s happening, parents get time to enjoy the resort, whether that’s the Alia Beach Club, the Revive spa, or a round on one of Belek’s championship golf courses.
Then the afternoons slow things down. Time together on the slides at the aqua park, on the beach, or just doing very little at all.
The week builds nicely as it goes on. Shared experiences like the Parents’ Game, Q&As, FE Games Night and medal celebrations give it a rhythm, and bring everyone into it.
How it works
You book your full holiday through Football Escapes, and we take care of everything else. That includes your stay at Regnum Carya, access to the football course, and flights if you need them. It’s all handled in one place.
Most families stay for 7 nights or longer, with the Football Course running Monday to Friday.
To guarantee your child’s place on the course, the holiday needs to be booked through Football Escapes.
