All-inclusive holidays to Antalya

Charming Mediterranean coastal curves, the sensory delights of the Old Bazaar, and a wide selection of all-inclusive holiday resorts make it hard to believe Antalya once sat in the shadow of its Turkish Riviera neighbours. Millions of tourists now flock here every year for its beautiful beaches, mountain scenery, Ottoman-influenced architecture and sizzling June-to-October climate. So whether you want to laze on the beach on a cheap holiday or explore an ancient land, the answer is all-inclusive Antalya.

An Antalya all-inclusive holiday is an experience for all ages: beaches, waterparks and kids’ clubs entertain children and teens, while wellness facilities and evening entertainment help parents let their hair down.

Kaleiçi’s old town is an enthralling spot for mini-adventurers on an all-inclusive getaway, with Roman ruins and Ottoman houses bringing history to life in front of their eyes. It’s well worth hiring a car and taking a day trip. In-resort babysitting services and adults-only areas make the area a great choice for the rest of the gang, too.

For playgrounds, kids clubs and plenty more entertainment for the entire brood, book an all-inclusive stay in Alanya. Pitch up by the pool bar and watch the youngsters happily while away the hours, top up your tan on the beachfront sun terrace or slip away for some me time in the resort spa.

For the ultimate check-in and tune out all-inclusive experience, head for Side. There’s no shortage of resorts here, with kid-friendly activities, waterslides, activity clubs, live shows and day-care facilities. Meaning you can easily keep everyone entertained – young, old and in-between – without ever setting foot outside of your hotel.

Antalya’s all-inclusive resorts provide a great base for a couple’s retreat. As well as the sun, sea and sands of its beautiful beaches, the labyrinthian streets of its old town provide the perfect backdrop for a romantic stroll and some memory-making.

If you're a snap-happy couple, head for the stunning resort town of Side – its long golden sands and Greco-Roman ruins are more than postcard-worthy. With the town’s top sights ticked off, head to your all-inclusive resort for a soak in a jacuzzi tub, a couple’s massage and then dinner with a view out across the Mediterranean Sea.

Belek is another excellent pick for a romantic getaway in the sun – think thermal spas, coastal walks and sunsets that are hard to beat this side of the Med. When you’re not catching rays by the pool or lounging on your exclusive beach, yoga, pilates and aqua fitness classes will nourish your body and soul.

To really get away from it all, head to the luxury clifftop resorts of Lara Beach for a couple’s sauna, massage and your choice of beauty treatments. You can also try a traditional hammam here if you’re feeling up to being pressed and pulled in every direction under a mountain of bubbles.
