From the bustling streets of Alanya to the historic charm of Side, the Antalya region is designed for those who want a sunshine break where everything is taken care of.

Top Resorts and Hotel Picks

Finding the right base is essential for a great holiday. If you are looking for a beachfront experience, the Xoria Resort in Konaklı offers a premium five-star stay, while the Grand Uysal Beach & Spa Hotel in Tosmur, Alanya, provides wonderful views of the Mediterranean Sea. Families often gravitate toward the AQI Pegasos Club in Incekum, which is well-loved for its large pool complex and water slides. For those wanting a mix of luxury and location, the Trendy Lara in the Aksu district is a fantastic five-star choice, while the Kaila City Hotel in Oba, Alanya, offers a reliable four-star base for exploring the local area.

Beaches and Coastal Towns

The coastline of the Antalya region is exceptionally diverse. You will find everything from sweeping stretches of sand to more intimate, pebbled coves tucked away in towns like Kemer. Alanya is particularly popular for its vibrant atmosphere and access to various beachfront resorts, while Side is cherished for its laid-back pace and lovely setting. Many visitors choose to spend their days lounging at their resort or venturing out to nearby towns such as Konaklı, Avsallar, or Okurcalar to soak up the sun.

Food, Activities and Local Life

One of the true joys of a package holiday in this part of Turkey is the food. You can expect a fantastic array of local and international dishes, often served buffet-style in your hotel or as part of an all-inclusive package. Beyond the dining room, there is plenty to keep you occupied. Watersports are a staple across the region, and many hotels provide their own activities. If you prefer a slower pace, wandering through the old town areas of Antalya or Side offers a great chance to browse local shops and enjoy the warm Mediterranean evenings.

When to Visit and Getting There

Direct flights from the UK make reaching the Antalya region straightforward, with plenty of options departing from major airports like Manchester and Liverpool. The best time to visit is typically between May and October, when the sun is almost guaranteed and the sea is warm enough for swimming. July and August can be quite hot, so many families prefer the slightly milder temperatures of late spring or early autumn.

Who Is It For?

Antalya is incredibly versatile. It suits families who need easy access to kids' clubs and aqua parks, as well as couples who appreciate the high service standards found in the five-star resorts of Lara or the boutique charm of suites in Side. With 173 trips of experience in the region, it is clear that visitors return year after year for the hospitality, the value, and the consistent sunshine.
