Royal Holiday Palace
Lara Beach | Turkey – Antalya Area
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Royal Holiday Palace is one of Lara Beach’s big, bold resort hotels – think fairytale-style turrets, a sweeping lagoon pool, and a private strip of sand on Antalya’s dazzling coast. Families are spoiled with two aqua parks, an on-site funfair-style Luna Park, kids’ clubs and a 24-hour All Inclusive concept that keeps snacks and drinks flowing day and night. With 13 restaurants, 9 bars and lush gardens rolling down to the beach, it’s a Turkish Riviera escape built for effortless, high-energy holidays.
From the moment you pull up to its palace-style façade, Royal Holiday Palace feels like a theme-park-meets-beach-resort. The enormous main pool wraps around manicured lawns and palm trees, while colourful waterslides, a proper Luna Park with rides, and a wide sandy beach mean you can switch from splash-filled days to sunset strolls without ever leaving the grounds. Inside, high-ceilinged lobbies, spacious family rooms and a choice of buffet and à la carte restaurants complete the “everything in one” holiday formula.
For families seeking Turkey’s Antalya coast with maximum convenience, Royal Holiday Palace delivers the perfect balance of fun and comfort: 24-hour All Inclusive, a beachfront setting and a huge choice of activities. It’s around 40 minutes from Antalya Airport (AYT). See more Turkey holidays.
