HALAL RESORTS IN ANTALYA WITH LADIES-ONLY BEACH

The holiday market is constantly evolving to cater to the needs of travellers and Muslim women travellers have become a positive catalyst for the tourist industry, leading more hotels to cater to the modest scene. Before this progression, many women found themselves restricted to indoor pools where they were limited to set times and didn’t have much space. However, now with women-only beaches and private outdoor pools, the opportunity for swimming with privacy is more accessible than ever. With stunning backdrops, breathtaking views and luxurious resorts in many different locations, the dreams of many are now an easily-attainable reality. Ladies-only beaches are not only perfect for Muslim woman, but will be enjoyed by women of all backgrounds and religions, as they create a safe haven where modesty can be celebrated and enjoyed. Women no longer have to feel on display and can enjoy the simple luxury of going to a sun-soaked beach on holiday with their friends, enjoying halal cuisine and drinks, and relaxing on a sun lounger or taking a dip in the turquoise oceans. What more can give a deeper sense of relaxation and fulfilment than knowing you have privacy and the contentment you are upholding your values whilst enjoying your time on the beach? We are sure that you will enjoy the feeling of liberation.

An Inspiring Example
Take inspiration from the Muslim women professionals in sport who keep Islam as a fundamental aspect of their identity. Breaking stereotypical barriers and beating discrimination, these influential women are a prime example of what you can achieve whilst maintaining modesty. Islam promotes good health and fitness, and these women take pride in this with one prime example being Dr Rania Elwani - an Egyptian Olympic swimmer who has won medals for Egypt and become an inspiration for many Muslim girls who thought they could follow their dreams, but were apprehensive of discrimination. Take your swim at a ladies-only beach and become your own Rania Elwani, break your own barriers and relax in comfort in a place where your privacy is assured.

The benefits of attending a women’s-only beach are many - with enjoyment and spending quality time with the other female members of your family, you can enjoy the sun beaming on your skin and feel the cool water lapping around your ankles. Use the sand as a natural exfoliant, soak up the Vitamin D, de-stress and relax on a sun lounger amongst the tranquil waters, without a care in the world. Many Muslim-friendly hotels offer all-inclusive packages including use of a ladies-only spa and the possibility to enjoy halal food and drinks by your side, offering the ultimate in relaxation and making you feel like a queen.
