Limak Lara De Luxe Hotel & Resort

Just twenty minutes’ drive from Antalya Airport, this 5 star hotel boasts a prime beachfront location. When you fancy a dip, there are three outdoor pools, plus a bonus one with slides for the kids. Or you may just choose to sunbathe on the vast terrace in the shade of palm trees or on the private beach area. A further pool can be found at the spa, where you can also book a range of relaxation treatments. And you won’t need to worry about additional costs for meals, as it's an All Inclusive resort.

When you want to have fun, there’s plenty of choice. Bowling, darts, table tennis, squash and billiards are just some of the activities on offer. If you prefer an individual workout, the fully equipped gym will allow you to achieve your fitness goals. For primary school aged children there’s a miniclub, but the teenagers aren’t left out, as there’s a programme for them too. In the evening choose either a night of entertainment, provided by the animation team, or watch a blockbuster at the cinema.

The main restaurant, Zen, has capacity for 1200 people, with seating both inside and out. In high season Laila offers light meals and all-day snacks. For a more formal dinner, there are three a la carte options. La Cucina serves Italian favourites year-round, while in the summer, you can try rich Turkish cuisine and pan-Asian specialities. There’s no shortage of places to grab a drink either, with three bars open 12 months a year. In summer there’s the bonus option of the Tea House, serving your favourite hot drinks. After a sweet treat between meals? Visit the Patisserie for mouthwatering cakes and desserts, throughout the day and evening.

Standard rooms are a generous 32m2 and feature a queen, standard and sofa bed, allowing up to four people to share a room. But if you want even more space for your family, the family option has 65m2 of space with interconnecting rooms. You even get your own Jacuzzi®.

The centre of Alanya is under 20km from Limak Lara. You shouldn’t miss out on the chance to visit the 10th century Church of Saint Constantine or Atatürk's House and Museum, where you can see inside an Ottoman villa. On the way back, consider stopping off at the open-air Sandland museum. Here, sculptors show off their skills using sand to mould an impressive range of creatures. At night they are illuminated using all colours of the rainbow, creating the perfect conditions for an Instagrammable shot of a lion or mermaid.
