Lara Beach and the Kundu luxury zone
Lara Beach stretches for 8 km along the coastline east of Antalya city. The beach is sandy — unlike the pebble beaches of Konyaaltı — and lined with large all-inclusive hotels.
Kundu is the inner luxury zone within Lara, home to Turkey's most prestigious hotels: Titanic Deluxe Belek (actually in Kundu), Rixos Downtown, and several Mardan Palace brands.
Lara Beach is particularly popular with Russian and Eastern European tourists, German families, and British package holidaymakers.
The area has less authentic Turkish character than Konyaaltı or Antalya city centre, but compensates with beach quality and hotel density.
