Hotels near Antalya International Airport
Kepez, around the airport
About 8 minutes by car or shuttle from the terminal.
Best for: Short layovers and dawn flights, staying a few minutes from the terminal instead of heading down to the coast.
- Dedicated airport shuttle at both hotels
- A position halfway between the airport and the city, useful also for those who need to get downtown for work
- No beach within easy reach: the sea still needs 15-20 minutes
- A transit area, of little interest for a genuine holiday
Recommended hotels
- Hampton by Hilton Antalya Airport In Kepez, 8 minutes from the terminal with a dedicated shuttle; free breakfast and parking included. View availability
- IC Hotels Airport 800 metres from the terminal, opened in 2002 by the Turkish group IC Hotels (not linked to the InterContinental chain despite the similar name); indoor and outdoor pool, shuttle around the clock. View availability
Kaleiçi, the historic centre
About 14 km and 20-25 minutes by car from the terminal.
Best for: Those who want the historic centre, the Venetian walls and the evening life of the old harbour.
- Hadrian's Gate, the Clock Tower and the old harbour reachable on foot
- Mermerli beach about 500 metres away, in the heart of the historic centre
- The old bazaar's alleys are noisy and crowded in high season
- Few parking spaces: those with a rental car must leave it outside the walls
Lara Beach
About 12-15 km and 15-20 minutes by car from the terminal, the shortest transfer to a real beach among the zones in this guide.
Best for: Those who want the sandy beach closest to the airport, with all-inclusive hotels a few minutes from the centre.
- Lara's sandy beach just steps away, among the closest to the airport in all of Antalya
- All-inclusive hotels designed for families, with lower prices than Belek or Kemer
- The area is almost entirely hotels and resorts: little to see beyond the beach
- In high season, Lara's seafront is very crowded
Recommended hotels
- Adalya Elite Lara Hotel - Ultra All Inclusive Ultra all-inclusive resort just steps from Lara beach, with a wide choice of restaurants and evening entertainment. View availability
- Holiday Inn Antalya - Lara by IHG More intimate than the area's large resorts, a few minutes from Lara beach. View availability
Konyaaltı
About 15-20 km and 20-30 minutes by car from the terminal.
Best for: Those who prefer Konyaaltı's pebble beach and a more residential district than Lara.
- Konyaaltı Beach Park about 15 minutes on foot, with the city's longest pedestrian seafront

- The beach is pebbly, not sandy like Lara's
- Fewer direct connections to the historic centre than from Lara
Recommended hotels
Belek
About 35 km and 25-35 minutes by car from the terminal, longer in high season on the road to Belek.
Best for: Those coming for golf or wanting a resort on a long sandy beach, away from the bustle of the centre.
- Next to the PGA Sultan and Pasha courses of the Antalya Golf Club
- Wider, less crowded beaches than those in the city centre
- An area made up almost entirely of resorts: without a car it's hard to leave your own hotel
- Further from the airport than Lara or Konyaaltı
Recommended hotels
Kemer
About 45 km and 40-55 minutes by car from the terminal to central Kemer; some resorts in the area, such as Akra Kemer, state up to 65 km and 70-80 minutes on their own official website.
Best for: Those who want the coast at the foot of the Taurus Mountains, greener and less built-up than Lara or Belek.
- Taurus Mountains dropping sheer to the sea, more dramatic scenery than the central beaches
- Central Kemer with its harbour and evening life a short distance from the resorts
- The transfer from the airport is among the longest in this guide
- In high season, traffic on the coast road to Kemer can noticeably lengthen travel times
Recommended hotels
