About Lara
Lara is Antalya's high-yield resort belt, stretching along the eastern coast. Its defining feature is a 12-kilometer natural beach of fine golden sand — nicknamed "Altınkum" (Golden Sand) — offering a wide, gently-sloping shoreline that families favor over Konyaaltı's pebble coast.
Lara is internationally known for its themed mega-resorts in the Kundu corridor — five-star ultra-all-inclusive complexes built as architectural replicas of global landmarks, like the Kremlin Palace or the ship-shaped Titanic Deluxe Lara, each with sprawling water parks and non-stop entertainment. The district's dramatic geography is completed by travertine cliffs where the Lower Düden Waterfall drops 40 meters straight into the Mediterranean.
Despite common confusion, the well-known Antalya Aquarium is actually in Konyaaltı, not Lara — Lara instead has its own world-class sand-sculpture museum, Sandland.
As the resort zone closest to Antalya Airport, Lara is the top choice for guests who want a fast, predictable arrival — just 12-15 km away, a 15-20 minute drive by private vehicle.

Journey Details & FAQs
How much luggage can I bring?
Capacity depends on the vehicle category. Enter your passengers and luggage when you book and choose from the Vito and Sprinter options shown.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight, and pickup timing may be adjusted to your actual arrival.
Can I combine a transfer with a tour?
Yes — many travellers book an airport transfer to their hotel first, then a separate private tour once settled in.
How far is Lara from Antalya Airport?
Lara is about 13 km from Antalya Airport (AYT), around 15–25 minutes by private transfer. Lara is the resort strip immediately east of the airport along the coast, so it is one of the shortest transfers in Antalya.
How is the price for this transfer shown?
The price for your route and vehicle is shown before you book.
Do I need a car once I'm in Lara?
The Lara and Kundu hotels sit on a long coastal road; the beach is on the doorstep, but the old town and Konyaaltı are a taxi ride away. Local trips are separate from the airport transfer.
How is flight status handled for night flights to Lara?
Flight status is monitored for airport pickups, and pickup timing may be adjusted based on the actual arrival time.
