Why book Baia Lara Hotel?

There's plenty of competition on Lara Beach-here's what sets Baia Lara apart from the crowd.

• A compact layout that actually works-

  Most large Antalya resorts require a lengthy walk just to reach the beach. Here, the pools, shore, and main building are all within easy reach- a real bonus when you're travelling with young children or mobility concerns.

• Premium drinks genuinely included ☀️-

  The ultra all-inclusive package covers real imported spirits-Jack Daniel's, Chivas Regal, Absolut- available 24 hours a day. A complimentary on-site Starbucks kiosk is regularly flagged by returning guests as one of the standout inclusions.

• A private pier unlike anything nearby 🏖️-

  The hotel's 2,000 m² wooden sun pier extends directly into the Mediterranean, with built-in loungers, shade parasols, and its own bar. As a guest, it's yours to enjoy throughout your stay.

• Families are thoughtfully catered for-

  The Baia Kids Club runs daily supervised activities for children aged 4–12, from T-shirt painting to sandcastle competitions. There's a toddler splash pool, nine waterslides in the Aqua Park, and a shaded beachside playground.

• Spa access included from day one-

  The on-site hammam, Finnish sauna, eucalyptus steam room, and heated indoor pool are all included at no extra cost. Thirteen private therapy rooms are available for paid treatments if you'd like something more tailored.

• Drinks service that keeps pace 🍹-

  Poolside waitstaff- some on rollerblades- serve drinks directly to your sunbed throughout the day, so you rarely need to leave your spot.

How far is the nearest beach?

Baia Lara Hotel sits directly on Lara Beach-there are zero metres between you and the sand. The beach is accessed straight from the resort grounds, with a private 2,000 m² wooden pier also available for guests. No road to cross, no shuttle needed, no waiting around. It's as direct as beach access gets. 🏖️

Distance from the airport

✈️ Antalya International Airport (AYT) is approximately 15 km away. Transfers by taxi or private car typically take between 15 and 20 minutes, depending on traffic. The hotel also has direct public bus connections via the LC07 line, which stops just outside the main gate- a handy and affordable option for independent travellers.
