Vacation without kids: five hotels in Turkey with a 16+ concept

A vacation without kids screaming by the pool is real. In Turkey there are many hotels with an adults-only concept: children are not accommodated, and the entertainment, bars, and pools are designed for an adult crowd. We picked five such options in Side, Kemer, and Belek.

We verified the adults-only format and the list of services on the hotel websites (09/13/2026). Check the exact age threshold on the hotel website before booking. All five operate on an ultra all inclusive basis, so food, drinks, and entertainment are already included in the price.

Below is a comparison by location, beach, and vacation style, followed by a breakdown of each hotel. Prices depend on the season, so check the current cost for your travel dates.

Our pick: five adults-only hotels

First, a quick cheat sheet. All five hotels are designed for adults and operate on an ultra all inclusive basis. Pashas Princess is right on the beach, while Amon Hotels Belek is about 2 km from the sea. The difference is in the area, beach size, and atmosphere.

💡 In short:

• Side and Manavgat mean tranquility near ancient ruins, Kemer means mountains and pine-fringed beaches, Belek means a quiet area and golf.
• If you want nature and romance, go with Flora Garden Beach. If you want a large new complex, look at Side Stella Elite.
• The Adults & Couples Only format and services at Sorgun Akadia: verified on 09/13/2026 on the official Sorgun Akadia website. Check the age threshold for other hotels on their websites.

1. Sorgun Akadia Luxury 5*

The hotel is located in Titreyengol, a resort village 7 km from Side (according to the map). It opened in 2020 and now operates under the LRS Hotels Akadia Luxury brand with an Adults & Couples Only concept (according to the official website, 09/2026). Rooms face the sea or a pine forest, so road noise won't wake you up.

The beach is sand and pebble, 600 m from the buildings. Loungers, umbrellas, and a bar with drinks are included. In the evening, live music, shows, and discos take place on the property, and during the day you can choose between bocce, step aerobics, and water aerobics.

Yoga, Pilates, and tai chi are offered separately, so people come here to recharge, not just to sunbathe. For couples, this is one of the calmest options in our selection.

• Who it's for: couples who want quiet, sports, and activities without music until morning.
• Not for: those who need nightlife and a city center within walking distance.
• Location: 7 km to Side, about 75 km to Antalya airport (according to the map).
• Prices: check prices at Sorgun Akadia on Trip.com
• The catch: the beach is 600 m from the buildings, so you won't be on the first line here.

2. Pashas Princess by Werde 4*

The hotel is built in Ottoman style and sits right on Camyuva Beach, 5 km from Kemer and 60 km from Antalya (according to the map). Rooms are bright, with air conditioning and a furnished balcony. In the evening, you dine on a terrace with columns and watch the sunset.

The complex has an outdoor pool with hydromassage, a spa center, and a fitness club. The hotel is located next to the Beydaglari coastal national park, and the ruins of the ancient city of Phaselis are about 9 km away (according to the map). This way you combine a relaxed seaside vacation with short trips to historical sites.

• Who it's for: couples who want the beach at their doorstep and trips to Phaselis.
• Not for: those who want to end up in the center of Kemer on foot every evening.
• Location: Camyuva, 5 km to Kemer (according to the map).
• Prices: check prices at Pashas Princess on Trip.com
• The catch: the center of Kemer is about 5 km away, so you won't walk there.

3. Amon Hotels Belek 4*

Third in our selection is Amon Hotels Belek, an adults-only hotel in Kadriye. It sits next to fields, 2 km from Kadriye Beach and 27 km from Antalya Airport (according to the map). Rooms are divided into standard and upgraded, and the difference is in the bathroom: in upgraded rooms you get a jacuzzi instead of a shower.

Food and drinks are included, and guests have access to several bars and restaurants. The property has a spa center, indoor and outdoor pools, and in the evening you can enjoy a program with discos.

• Who it's for: couples who value a quiet area and a short drive from the airport.
• Not for: those who want to stay on the first line by the sea.
• Location: Kadriye, 27 km from Antalya Airport (according to the map).
• Prices: check prices at Amon Hotels Belek on Trip.com
• The catch: the beach is about 2 km away, and the hotel sits next to farmland, not by the sea.

4. Side Stella Elite Resort & Spa 5*

The complex is located in Kumkoy, 10 km from the center of Manavgat and 60 km from Antalya Airport (according to the map). Guests aged 16+ have been welcomed here on an ultra all inclusive basis since March 2023 (according to the official website, 09/2026). This is the newest hotel on the list.

The private beach is soft and sandy, 750 m from the buildings. Umbrellas, towels, and loungers are free. Rooms have air conditioning, a safe, and a balcony with a city view, and in the morning a breakfast buffet awaits you.

The property has several pools, a hammam with a sauna, a nightclub, restaurants, four bars, and a patisserie. You can play table tennis and darts, rent a bicycle or a car, and head to the beaches of Kumkoy and Evrenseki. The ancient ruins of Side are also not far away.

• Who it's for: couples who want a large new hotel with a full range of services.
• Not for: those looking for a small boutique hotel instead of a large complex.
• Location: Kumkoy, 10 km to Manavgat (by map).
• Prices: check prices for Side Stella Elite on Trip.com
• The catch: the hotel's own beach is 750 m away, so you either walk or take the shuttle.

5. Flora Garden Beach 5*

The hotel stands on the Mediterranean coast, 20 km from Side and Manavgat (by map), in a pine park covering 85,000 m² (according to the official website, 09/2026). The format is listed as couples, so evenings here are quieter than at family clubs. Check the age requirement on the hotel's website. After the 2023 renovation, the buildings were made low-rise and "natural."

The private sandy beach stretches for 850 m (according to the Flora Garden Hotels website, 09/2026). Rooms have Wi-Fi and tea and coffee making facilities, and apartments with direct pool access and sea views are booked separately. Suites come with a Jacuzzi bathtub.

Restaurants include a steakhouse, a buffet-style eatery, and Asian and Turkish cuisine. Two bars are located by the pool and on the beach. Guests have access to two pools, tennis courts, and a spa complex. We explain the RO, BB, HB, FB, and AI meal plan types in a separate article.

• Who it's for: couples who value nature, quiet, and a long private beach.
• Not for: those who want to walk around town and visit bars every evening.
• Location: 20 km to Side and Manavgat (by map).
• Prices: check prices for Flora Garden Beach on Trip.com
• The catch: the hotel is isolated, about 20 km from Side and Manavgat.

What to check before booking a 16+ hotel

The 16+ concept almost always comes with ultra all inclusive: food, drinks, and entertainment are already included in the price. Check whether airport transfer is included, because some hotels charge for it. You will also find paid transfers at hotels whose beach is located outside the property.

Adults-only hotels are often not built on the first line. Check the distance to the sea: in this selection it ranges from direct beach access to 2 km (on the map). If having a sunbed by the water without a walk matters to you, choose an option with a beach on the property.

The beach season in Turkey runs roughly from April to November. July and August are more expensive and crowded, while May, June, and September are more comfortable in terms of weather and price. Hotel accommodation and quiet hours rules are covered in a separate article.

⁉️🤔 Frequently asked questions

What does the 16+ concept mean at a hotel?

A hotel with a 16+ concept does not accept guests under 16, so children are not placed in rooms or on the property. All five hotels in this selection follow this rule: Sorgun Akadia, Pashas Princess, Amon Hotels Belek, Side Stella Elite, and Flora Garden Beach. Along with this, you get an adults-oriented program: spa, bars, and evening shows. Check the age policy on the hotel's website before paying.

How much does a stay at an adults-only hotel in Turkey cost?

Giving a single figure would be misleading: the price depends on the date, room category, and season. All five hotels operate in the mid-range and high-end price segments, with 4-5 stars and ultra all inclusive. To see the actual cost, compare offers on Trip.com for your dates. In the low season, a night costs noticeably less than in July and August.

How does ultra all inclusive differ from regular all inclusive?

Ultra all inclusive includes more: not just food and local drinks, but also imported alcohol, coffee shops, a pastry shop, and some entertainment. Regular all inclusive has a more limited selection. We explain what the meal plans RO, BB, HB, FB, and AI mean in a separate article about meal types.

Can I come with a child if the hotel is marked as 16+?

No. A hotel with a 16+ concept does not accommodate children, even if you book a separate room for them. For trips with children, choose family hotels with no age restrictions. Check the age threshold on the official website: some hotels set it higher than 16.

How to get from Antalya Airport to these hotels?

All five hotels are located in Antalya Province. Side, Manavgat, and Kumkoy are about 60-75 km from the airport, Belek is about 27 km, and Kemer is about 60 km (on the map). The drive takes from 40 minutes to an hour and a half. Arrange your transfer in advance, because some hotels charge for it.

In short: what to book

If you are on your honeymoon and need a long private beach, go with Flora Garden Beach. If you want a new large complex with a nightclub, then Side Stella Elite is your option. For a quiet area and a short drive from the airport, Amon Hotels Belek works well; for mountains and a national park nearby, Pashas Princess. Sorgun Akadia Luxury is worth booking for its pine park and evening program without noise.

All five hotels operate on a 16+ and ultra all inclusive basis, so you are not paying for children's infrastructure. Compare dates and prices, then book the option that matches your season: view adults-only hotels in Turkey on Trip.com
