Delphin Imperial

Lara Beach | Turkey

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 
Rising above the golden sands of Lara Beach with its striking, palace-style architecture, Delphin Imperial is built for big, blowout holidays. Think four outdoor pools, a full-on waterpark, 11 restaurants on All Inclusive Plus and non-stop entertainment from morning through to midnight. Families, couples and friends all find their spot here – whether that’s racing down slides, lingering over à la carte dinners or unwinding in the spa after a day on the beach.

Sweeping sea views, statement-making design and a long private stretch of Lara’s soft sand set the stage at Delphin Imperial. The resort feels like a self-contained coastal playground, with lagoon-style pools, colourful waterslides, manicured gardens and a long pier jutting into the Mediterranean. Inside, chandeliers, glossy marble and grand atriums dial up the sense of occasion, while the sheer choice of restaurants and bars means every evening can feel different.

For couples and families wanting Turkey’s Riviera glamour with everything at your fingertips, Delphin Imperial is a standout on Lara’s beachfront strip. It’s around 40 minutes from Antalya Airport, so you can be by the pool not long after landing. See more Turkey holidays.
