Map & location
Lara Beach, Antalya Area, Turkey
Fame Residence Lara sits right on the beachfront in the heart of Lara Beach’s hotel strip, east of Antalya city. Step out from the gardens and you’re on soft sand lapped by clear, usually calm water – perfect for paddling or trying watersports.
Lara Beach itself is known for its glitzy, all-singing resorts, long promenade and shopping malls, while historic Antalya Old Town (Kaleici) with its harbour, Roman walls and bazaar is an easy day trip by taxi or local bus. This base works well if you want a full-service resort with simple access to city sights, waterparks and the region’s mountain and waterfall excursions.
- • Beach beachfront – direct access from hotel gardens
- • Lara Beach resort centre 1km
- • Local shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance along the main strip
- • Antalya city centre (Kaleici/Old Town) 15–20km
- Approx. transfer time from airport 20 minutes (Antalya AYT)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The centrepiece of Fame Residence Lara is its vast, lagoon-style pool that winds through the gardens towards the Mediterranean. Sunbeds and parasols line the terraces, and inflatables and water toys are generally permitted, making it a big hit with younger guests. There’s also a dedicated outdoor children’s pool with slides, a children’s section and whirlpool features. Fresh pool towels are provided.
The on-site aquapark adds extra splash factor, with slides including a half pipe and aqua bowl operating at set times between April and October. Age, height or weight restrictions may apply on some slides but there’s plenty to keep older kids and teens entertained.
Beyond the pool, you’ve got direct access to Lara’s long sandy shoreline. Watersports such as canoeing, pedalos, motorised activities, snorkelling and scuba diving are typically available here via an external provider for an additional charge.
Spa, sports & wellness
Stay active or fully unwind – the facilities are built for both. The air-conditioned gym comes with cardio machines, free weights, fixed strength equipment and a stretching area, alongside fitness classes from aerobics and aqua aerobics to basketball, volleyball, pilates, yoga and darts tournaments. There’s even a bowling alley and cinema (extra charges apply) for family evenings or cooler days.
In the spa, you can experience traditional Turkish bathing rituals in the hammam, plus a sauna, steam room and whirlpool, with a menu of massages and beauty treatments available for a supplement (minimum ages apply).
Around the resort you’ll also find:
• Tennis, table tennis, handball and indoor bowls (some local charges)
• Lush gardens with shaded seating areas
• On-site hairdressers
• Reception offering hire of items such as kettles, pushchairs, sun tents, toasters and wheelchairs (some charges apply)

Food & drink
The main buffet restaurant is the heart of the All Inclusive plan, serving a varied spread at breakfast, lunch and dinner with live show-cooking in the evenings and a dedicated kids’ buffet corner, highchairs and microwaves for families. Expect a mix of Turkish specialities and international favourites, plus plenty of salads, grills and desserts.
Drinks and daytime refreshments are never far away: there’s a beach bar right by the sand (seasonal), a lively pool bar, and the Lobby Aspendos Bar which stays open late for coffees, cocktails and nightcaps. Dress codes are relaxed but typically ask that beachwear isn’t worn at dinner. Some outlets, opening dates and reservation policies can change through the season, and supplements may apply for certain imported drinks or à la carte options.
