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.
