Antalya Resorts Guide
How to Choose the Perfect Spot for Your Holiday?
Antalya is the "Pearl of the Turkish Mediterranean," but each of its areas has a distinct personality. Although they all offer the famous All-Inclusive concept, choosing the right resort can turn a good holiday into a memorable one. Here is the profile of each resort to help you decide:
Lara: Turkey’s "Las Vegas"
Located closest to Antalya airport, Lara is famous for its themed hotels built as replicas of famous buildings (such as the Titanic).
- Best for: Families and couples wanting quick transfers and imposing hotels.
- The Beach: Golden sand and a gentle entry into the water, ideal for children.
Belek: The Capital of Luxury and Golf
Belek is the most exclusive area in Antalya. Here you will find immense resorts with professional golf courses and world-class SPA centers.
- Best for: Discriminating tourists, sports enthusiasts, and those seeking peace and refinement.
- Attraction: The Land of Legends theme park, often called the Disneyland of Turkey.
Kemer: Where the Mountain Kisses the Sea
Unlike other areas, Kemer is located at the foot of the Taurus Mountains. The landscape is spectacular, with lush greenery and pine forests descending to the shore.
- Best for: Nature lovers, hiking enthusiasts, and those who prefer a slightly cooler climate thanks to the mountains.
- The Beach: Predominantly pebbles, which makes the seawater incredibly clear (crystal-like).
Side: An Open-Air Museum by the Sea
Side is a fascinating blend of a modern resort and an archaeological site. The old town is built among Roman ruins, offering a unique romantic atmosphere.
- Best for: Families and history buffs. The resort is famous for its very wide beaches with fine sand.
- Attraction: The Temple of Apollo at sunset—the most photographed spot in the region.
Alanya: Fun and Budget-Friendly
Located about 120 km from the airport, Alanya offers some of the most accessible rates, along with a vibrant nightlife in the harbor.
- Best for: Young people, nightlife lovers, and travelers on a fixed budget.
- The Beach: Home to the famous Cleopatra Beach, considered one of the best in Turkey due to the quality of its sand.
Tekirova: The Exclusive Retreat in the Heart of Nature
Located at the edge of the Kemer region, Tekirova is the destination where Mount Tahtali dominates the horizon, offering fresher air and a lush green landscape, rare for the Mediterranean zone.
- Best for: Tourists seeking absolute peace, families preferring "garden" style resorts with immense green spaces, and couples looking for a romantic setting away from the noise of big cities.
- The Beach: A combination of sand and fine pebbles, awarded the "Blue Flag" for water cleanliness. The entry into the sea is steeper than in Lara, but the water clarity is unmatched, making it an excellent spot for snorkeling.
