Map & location
Antalya City, Antalya Area, Turkey
Holiday Inn Antalya Lara is set in the Lara district of Antalya City, a lively stretch of the Turquoise Coast where long beaches meet a skyline of modern hotels and shopping malls. Step outside and you’re just 100m from local shops, cafés and restaurants, while the nearest beach is around 400m away for effortless sea-and-sand days.
Head 5km into Antalya’s characterful old quarter, Kaleiçi, where narrow lanes, Ottoman-era houses and a picturesque harbour deliver a very different vibe to the city’s modern centre. With the airport a straightforward drive away, this is a smart base for short breaks and longer holidays alike.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s compact outdoor freshwater pool has a rooftop-style feel, framed by sunbeds and swing beds that are perfect for lazy afternoons. There’s a separate children’s section for younger swimmers, and free pool towels keep packing light.
A dedicated swimming lane is ideal for anyone keen to keep up their laps while away, and baby-changing facilities add a touch of practicality for families. Inflatables and water toys are generally permitted, making the pool area feel relaxed and informal.
The nearest beach is about 400m away – close enough to walk – so you can easily split your days between the hotel pool and the Mediterranean shoreline. Pool facilities and opening dates (usually April–October) can vary with season and occupancy.
Spa, sports & wellness
Wellness lovers are well catered for. The air-conditioned gym is equipped with cardio machines, free weights, strength equipment and a stretching zone, generally open from 08:00 to 20:00 for guests aged 18 and over.
Head to the spa to unwind Turkish-style, with a sauna, steam room and traditional Turkish bath (hamam). There’s also a whirlpool and a menu of massage and beauty treatments available for an extra charge, usually from late morning until the evening.
Elsewhere, the hotel offers a 24-hour reception with concierge services, currency exchange and luggage storage, so it’s easy to arrange taxis, restaurant reservations or late check-outs (subject to availability and charge). Facilities and opening hours may be adjusted in low season or according to occupancy.
