Lara Barut Collection
- Baby
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
Lara Barut is the polished, dependable all-inclusive on the Lara coast just east of Antalya city, where the airport is close and the beach is right there. It pairs a strong food reputation with a full kids club and water slides, and its short transfer makes it a favourite for families with little ones who melt down in a long coach ride.
Our verdict
A smart, balanced choice for families who value a short transfer and a central base as much as slides and buffets. You trade a little seclusion for convenience, good food and easy access to Antalya itself.
The rooms
Comfortable, contemporary rooms with a good number of family layouts that sleep two adults and two children without feeling squeezed. The standout here is location as much as the rooms: you are on the Lara strip, minutes from the airport, so the transfer that tires everyone out is mercifully short.

Rixos Premium Belek
Big, comfortable rooms across several categories, with the family-sized options adding either connecting doors or a separate living space so parents are not tiptoeing past a cot at 8pm. Cots and bed rails are free on request, and higher categories come with a proper sofa bed for an older child.

ELA Excellence Resort Belek
Bright, well-kept rooms with family options that add a separate kids' area or connecting layout, and a strong reputation for keeping little ones happy. Baby and toddler equipment is well organised here, from cots and bottle warmers to a dedicated baby buffet, which sets it apart from resorts that treat under-fives as an afterthought.
in Antalya
The Land of Legends Kingdom Hotel
Cartoon-themed, generously sized rooms that lean fully into the fairy-tale idea, with plenty of family configurations that comfortably sleep two adults and two or three children. Themed suites are a genuine hit with kids, though the decor is firmly aimed at them rather than at design-minded parents.
