Kids Clubs / Childcare



There are 5 Clubs for Children, they are all open every day except Mondays.

Kids Club: 9, 10, 11 & 12 Year Olds. Open 08:30 - 18:30 & 19:30 - 22:30
Teen Club: Teenagers (I didn't get any info on this, sorry. My children were in the younger clubs.

Baby Kitchen, within Lykie Club House is open 24 hours. After 22:30 please contact reception.

Babysitting costs 8 Euros per hour / per child. Needs to be booked a day in advance.

My children were aged 4 and 8 at the time so Josh was in Jokers & Ella was in Snoopies, at first I was a little dubious as to how they'd be being apart from each other but they were absolutely fine & both thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so that every morning we got "Can we go to kids club today, PLEASE!!!" lol

All the kids clubs each have a timetable of activities that you can get from reception, Lykie Club House or Tourist Info centre. These time tables changes each of the weeks we were there, as we arrived on a friday we had 3 timetables whilst we were there and they all differed in activities.

There was a ratio of around 2/3 children per member of staff. What would happen was if more children arrived then within 5 mins or so, more staff would arrive which was just fantastic. The staff at kids club were absolutely fantastic, Josh & Ella certainly bonded with a couple and we had absolutely no hesitation in leaving them with our mobile number and leaving the resort to see the near town of Olu-Deniz one of the days & Fethiye Market on another. Obviously we were close by the first few days just to make sure but after that we were happy to travel further a field both in the resort & out of it whilst they were there.

An example of Snoopies timetable was as follows:

08.30 - Morning Welcome
10.00 - Chu-Chu Dance on the Village Dance Floor
10:15 - Olympic Games in Lykie Club
12:00 - Lunch in the Children's Village Lykie Restaurant

My children obviously met up at dinner time, also for the chu-chu dance, the children's disco etc as some of these events they all did together. The younger groups though were kept out of the midday sun which was good.


This was our first night at Lykia World, Josh & Ella were reluctant to join in the Children's Disco at first (which parents can join in with too if they want to) but after the first song they were up and away frlying their arms about & following the routines that were led by the Kids Club Staff whilst they were wearing funny hats.
