About Lara Beach

Lara Beach is Antalya's glamorous hotel strip and one of the most popular beach areas of the entire Turkish Riviera for German tourists. The wide, fine sandy beach stretches for about twelve kilometers east of Antalya's city center and is lined with impressive five-star resorts that resemble Las Vegas with their elaborate facades. Hotels like Titanic Deluxe, Delphin Imperial, or Kremlin Palace focus on spectacular architecture and top-notch all-inclusive concepts that leave no wishes unfulfilled. What sets Lara Beach apart from other Turkish seaside resorts is its proximity to the big city of Antalya. While you relax on the expansive sandy beach during the day, you can stroll through the historic old town Kaleiçi, wander through the old harbor, or enjoy the nightlife in the restaurants and bars of the million-inhabitant city in just 15 minutes in the evening. This combination of beach resort and city proximity makes Lara Beach unique on the Turkish Riviera. A true natural highlight is the Düden Waterfalls: The Lower Düden spectacularly plunges as a 40-meter-high waterfall directly from the cliffs into the Mediterranean – a sight best admired from excursion boats. The Upper Düden in the hinterland invites you to picnic in a shady park. For German tourists, Lara Beach is extremely convenient: Antalya Airport is only ten kilometers away, and the transfer time often takes less than 20 minutes. The season runs from April to November, with water temperatures above 24 degrees from June to October. The price-performance ratio of the all-inclusive resorts is excellent, and many hotels offer German-speaking service.
