Lara or Konyaalti: fifteen Antalya hotels for a trip with children

Lara or Konyaalti: fifteen Antalya hotels for a trip with children

In Antalya there are more family hotels with a water park and kids' club than in any other city in Turkey. Choosing by photos is easy. Understanding the difference between the resort areas is harder.

We've put together fifteen Antalya hotels that families with children book most often. Seven of them are in the city near Konyaalti Beach and in the center, eight are in the Lara resort area. The difference is visible already on the drive from the airport: Lara is closer.

The areas differ more than the hotels themselves. Lara is a wide sandy beach, spacious grounds, and large complexes. Konyaalti is a city promenade, a pebble shore, and the old town of Kaleici nearby.

Below is a comparison by area, beach, kids' facilities, and the catches mentioned in reviews. We don't list prices: each hotel description has a link to search dates for that specific hotel.

How to choose a hotel in Antalya for a family vacation

💡 In short:

  • First choose the area: Lara is more convenient with toddlers, Konyaalti also works with older kids.
  • Check what exactly is included in "all inclusive": at some hotels water sports cost extra.
  • Look at the kids' club, sea entry, and whether there are slides.
  • As of 09/2026, verified on the official website of the Antalya municipality.

The city beach of Konyaalti stretches along Antalya and consists of five developed sections (according to the Antalya municipality, 09/2026). Here you'll find lounger rentals, showers, cafes, and a promenade that's easy to walk along with a stroller.

Lara lies to the east, between the city and the airport. It's a strip of sandy beaches lined with hotels that have green courtyards, pools, and water parks.

Club Hotel Sera sits on the first line of Lara Beach, in the eastern part of Antalya. The airport is nine kilometers from the hotel (verified 14.09.2026, official hotel website). From the outside it's a calm white building, but inside it's an Ottoman palace: gold, velvet, and painted ceilings.

The hotel's beach is long, with loungers, umbrellas, and a bar where you can have lunch right on the shore. With the all-inclusive package you get access to the outdoor and indoor pools, Turkish bath, sauna, and fitness center.

Children have enough activities for the whole day: a kids' club, playroom, playground, animation, tennis court, and water sports. Guests keep the hotel's rating high: 3,800 reviews on Tripadvisor and a score of four out of five (as of 09/2026).

The interiors are done in white, so the rooms feel bright and spacious. The furnished balcony is a nice spot to spend the evening.

The kids' program is extensive: animation, a playroom and playground, trips to the water park, and bicycles. Windsurfing and diving cost extra, so it's worth asking before check-in.

Harrington Park Resort sits next to a public beach. An underpass leads to the sea, so with a stroller or bags it's easier to take that route rather than cross the highway.

Inside, you'll find rich finishes and good furniture, while two outdoor pools are surrounded by terraces with loungers and umbrellas.

In reviews, this hotel gets more criticism than others in this selection: there aren't enough loungers and umbrellas on the beach, the restaurant menu is called repetitive, and the building's appearance doesn't remind everyone of a five-star property. After a management change, service improved noticeably, but some reviews were written before that.
