Turkey: which destination suits you?
Not every place suits every trip. Here is how the destinations differ, with the hotels we list in each and the guides that narrow the choice further.
Cities1
Coast8
Belek
16 hotelsTurkey's golf and all-inclusive heartland, a stretch of pine forest and long sand east of Antalya, built almost entirely of large five-star resorts. Right for a resort holiday where the hotel is the destination; wrong for anyone who wants a town to walk out into.
Fethiye
10 hotelsA harbour town on Turkey's southwest coast, ringed by pine-covered mountains and the bays of the Gulf of Fethiye, with Calis Beach north of the centre and Oludeniz over the hill. Right for small boutique hotels and boat days; wrong for anyone wanting a single large resort strip.
Antalya
9 hotelsOne of the Mediterranean's biggest all-inclusive markets: enormous resorts in Belek and Lara with waterparks, kids' clubs and premium drinks included. Built for families; go elsewhere for quiet or authenticity.
Guides
Kemer
7 hotelsA coastal strip west of Antalya where the Taurus mountains drop straight into the sea, with pebble and sand coves at Goynuk, Beldibi and Tekirova. Right for mountain scenery with an all-inclusive resort behind it; wrong for anyone set on wide flat sand.
Side
7 hotelsRoman ruins beside the beach and a row of large all-inclusive resorts east of Antalya. Good value for families who want the resort formula; a smaller luxury choice than Belek.
Guides
Bodrum
6 hotelsThe Turkish Aegean's stylish peninsula, with international five-star resorts in private bays around Yalıkavak and Türkbükü. For couples and yacht-minded travellers; more expensive than Antalya.
Marmaris
5 hotelsA big natural harbour, pine forests and a lively resort town, with a few upmarket hotels on the bay. Best for boat trips and a lively holiday; not the place for exclusivity.
Alanya
3 hotelsCleopatra Beach, a castle on the headland and Turkey's most affordable all-inclusive resorts. Right for a budget-conscious family week; the luxury choice is small.

Frequently Asked Questions
With 18 hotels, Antalya is the premier luxury destination, featuring properties like Mardan Palace with its private white-sand beach and 6 swimming pools. Istanbul offers 14 hotels, including the historic Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul, which features 19th-century imperial architecture. Other options include Bodrum with 7 hotels and Marmaris with 5 hotels.
Choose Concorde De Luxe Resort Lara Antalya- Prive Ultra All Inclusive if you want on-site tennis courts and a wellness spa near the beach. Choose Aska Lara Resort & Spa Hotel if you prefer a dedicated multi-zone aqua park and theme park, though note that beach access here requires a short shuttle ride.
Luxury hotel prices vary by destination and facilities. In Antalya, Aska Lara Resort & Spa Hotel starts from 464 EUR per night, whilst Limak Arcadia Sport Resort Belek peaks at 852 EUR per night. In Istanbul, staying at the historic Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul costs 660 EUR per night, with prices ranging up to 905 EUR.
For a historic stay, Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul is the obvious candidate. Located in Istanbul, which has 14 hotels, this property is set in a restored 19th-century Ottoman imperial palace and features an infinity pool overlooking the Bosphorus. On-site dining is premium, and it is located away from the Sultanahmet historical sites.
Active travellers should choose Limak Arcadia Sport Resort Belek in Antalya. It provides professional-grade sports and fitness facilities alongside 5 swimming pools. Alternatively, Concorde De Luxe Resort Lara Antalya- Prive Ultra All Inclusive offers well-maintained on-site tennis courts, whilst Aska Lara Resort & Spa Hotel has a multi-zone aqua park and theme park.
