Planning your trip?
Book your private airport transfer now and save up to 50% compared to regular taxis.
The Sand
Unlike most of the Antalya coast (which is pebble), Lara has genuine golden sand — fine, soft, and stretching for 8 km. This alone makes Lara the top choice for families with young children who want sandcastle-building holidays.
The All-Inclusive Culture
Lara's resorts have elevated the all-inclusive concept to an art form: - Food: 6-12 restaurants per resort (Italian, Asian, Ottoman, seafood, steakhouse) - Drinks: Unlimited imported spirits, cocktail bars, poolside service - Entertainment: Broadway-style shows, live music, kids' clubs (age 4-12) - Facilities: Waterparks, spas, fitness centers, indoor pools
The Lower Düden Waterfall
Turkey's most photogenic waterfall is actually IN Lara — the Lower Düden Waterfall cascades 40 meters directly into the Mediterranean Sea from a cliff edge. It's visible from the Lara Beachpark and spectacular by boat from the sea. Read more in our Antalya City Guide.
