The transfer from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Lara Barut Collection is 11.7 km and takes about 16 minutes. With a drive that short, the terminal and the hotel arrival point matter most.
Quick answer: how far are the Lara hotels from Antalya Airport?
The Lara hotels are the nearest resort cluster to Antalya Airport (AYT). The transfer to Lara Barut Collection is 11.7 km, roughly 12 km, and takes about 16 minutes. Titanic Mardan Palace is listed in Kundu, Lara, and Kremlin Palace De Luxe Resort in Aksu/Kundu, so both belong to the same resort belt. We do not give a separate drive time for those two here; treat the Lara Barut figures as orientation and confirm the detail for your hotel when you book.
Why a short transfer changes what you plan
When the drive is around 16 minutes, the road is the smallest part of your arrival. The time between landing and reaching your room is more likely to be decided at the airport and at the hotel than on the highway. As general guidance, these are the points worth settling in advance:
- Which terminal you land in. Antalya Airport has two international terminals. Terminal 1 shares a complex with the Domestic Terminal, while Terminal 2 is a separate building about 2.5 km away, linked by a shuttle bus or taxi. Check your ticket so the meeting plan is made for the right building.
- A meet and greet is an optional extra.
- What happens if your flight moves. Flight status is monitored for airport pickups, and pickup timing may be adjusted based on the actual arrival time. Giving the exact flight number at booking is the sensible way to make use of that.
- The season. In the summer season (June-September) Antalya Airport handles up to 910 daily flights, against around 270 in winter (November-March). In summer the airport side of the arrival is the part most likely to take longer than a 16-minute drive suggests, so it is worth leaving yourself room.
Three Lara hotels, three arrival profiles
Titanic Mardan Palace
A five-star resort in Kundu with palatial, Ottoman-inspired architecture and a private beach two minutes away on foot. It is known for large lagoon pools, spa facilities and 24-hour service, and it is aimed mainly at luxury travellers and couples, although family rooms are available. The lobby is a spacious marble hall, and the pickup point is the main lobby entrance. The 24-hour service is relevant if your flight lands at an awkward hour; it is worth asking the hotel what that covers for check-in on arrival.
Kremlin Palace De Luxe Resort
A private-beach resort in Aksu/Kundu with architecture modelled on Moscow's Red Square, onion domes included. It is the most activity-led of the three: a water park, kids' clubs and a convention venue for 2,000 people, which is why its guests are a mix of families, active holidaymakers and business groups. The beach is three minutes on foot, the lobby has a Red Square-replica entrance. If you are travelling as part of a conference or group, check with the organiser how transfers are arranged before you book your own.
Lara Barut Collection
A beachfront hotel on Lara's shoreline, with arrivals directed to the main entrance off the coastal road. The private beach is one minute on foot, and the hotel is part of the Michelin Guide Hotel Selection, with an unlimited à la carte dining concept. It suits couples and multi-generational families, and its kids' clubs sit alongside an adult-oriented atmosphere. The lobby is modern and airy, and the transfer to it is 11.7 km and about 16 minutes. Confirm the pickup details after booking.
| Hotel | Area | Guest profile | Private beach on foot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic Mardan Palace | Kundu, Lara | Luxury travellers, couples | 2 minutes |
| Kremlin Palace De Luxe Resort | Aksu/Kundu | Families, business groups | 3 minutes |
| Lara Barut Collection | Lara | Couples, multi-generational families | 1 minute |
Choosing between them by the kind of stay
- A couple wanting a resort feel: Titanic Mardan Palace is the one described around couples, lagoon pools and spa.
- Children who need things to do: Kremlin Palace has the water park and kids' clubs; Lara Barut also has kids' clubs and balances them with a quieter, adult-friendly side.
- Three generations on one booking: Lara Barut Collection names multi-generational families as part of its guest profile.
- A conference or large group: Kremlin Palace is the one with a 2,000-person convention venue.
- Dining as a priority: Lara Barut's Michelin Guide listing and à la carte concept are the distinguishing facts.
- The shortest walk to the sea: Lara Barut at one minute, then Titanic at two and Kremlin at three.

Details to settle with the hotel before you fly
- Give the exact hotel name. Two of these hotels are in the Kundu area, so a booking that says only "Lara" or "Kundu" leaves room for confusion.
- Tell the hotel your landing time. With short transfers it is easy to arrive well before a room is ready or very late at night; asking what the hotel can do in either case costs nothing.
- Confirm the pickup details. Check the departure arrangements for each hotel after booking.
