Kemer vs Belek vs Side: Choosing Your Antalya Beach Holiday

Antalya province has three resort areas that dominate most itineraries: Kemer, Belek and Side. Each has a distinct character, and the right choice depends on what you want from the stay.

Kemer

West of Antalya, framed by pine-covered mountains meeting the sea. Kemer suits visitors who want dramatic scenery alongside the beach, a lively centre and easy access to nature and watersports.

Belek

East of Antalya, known for higher-end resorts and as Türkiye’s premier golf destination. Belek suits those seeking polished, spacious properties and manicured surroundings.

Side

Further east, where a classic beach holiday sits alongside significant Greco-Roman ruins. Side suits visitors who want history and atmosphere with their coastline.

How to decide

  • Scenery and activity: Kemer
  • Luxury and golf: Belek
  • History and character: Side

Whichever you choose, timing matters as much as location — see when to visit the Turkish Riviera. For resorts on the Kemer coast operated to international standards, see the Londonos hospitality portfolio.
