Now, let’s get a bit more in-depth and see what are the best All Inclusive resorts and hotels in the Lara beach area in Turkey.
Titanic Mardan Palace
This is probably the best hotel in the Lara region. I wrote more in-depth about Titanic Mardan Palace here, but the point is that its offer is absolutely mind blowing.
Numbers are not as impressive as images above are, but they have to be said: the costs of building this amazing resort in Antalya were $1.4 billion!
The hotel has the largest swimming pool in Europe, a sunken aquarium containing 2,400 fish, and a private beach built with sand imported from Egypt. It’s also constantly visited by celebrities (some names include Mariah Carey, Kendall Jenner, Sharon Stone, Paris Hilton, and so on).
And it’s also perfect for families. It has dedicated kid pools, a kid’s gym, and a kid’s club with plenty of fine activities to keep the children entertained. They also offer kindergarten services and babysitters for one-on-one care.
Teenagers also have similar facilities, with a club, cinema, spa, and entertainment focused on their age group – which is another huge bonus, as entertainment is usually aimed at younger children in most hotels.
With nine restaurants (including the amazing aquarium restaurant that has you surrounded by marine life) and various bars, including a wine cellar and vitamin bar, Mardan Palace offers luxury, delightment and is the perfect place for a truly memorable experience.
You will LOVE this place, so if you’re planning to visit Turkey with your family or alone, Titanic Mardan Palace should be your top priority.

Lara Barut Collection
Visiting Lara Barut Collection was a delight for my family and me. The kids’ club was exceptionally well-managed, offering various activities that kept my children engaged and happy.
The hotel offers the Bary Star concept (as well as an Ultra All Inclusive offer!) that ensures that kids get a royal treatment as well. Everything’s been thought about and your children will be happy, guaranteed!
The children will enjoy activities that you don’t normally see in other hotels in Turkey: DJ courses, Graffiti, Tournaments, Foam parties, slackline, and much, much more.
We appreciated the indoor and outdoor pools, especially the water slides that were relatively crowded, but not disappointingly so. The extensive entertainment options ensured that our evenings were just as exciting as our days.
This luxury all-inclusive resort offers an impressive selection of 12 restaurants (including a patisserie and a la carte restaurants) and six bars with food to match all tastes and preferences. Perfection!

Delphin Imperial Lara
I personally believe that you can’t have a list of best hotels in Antalya without featuring one of the “Dolphins” – a chain of hotels known for their quality services.
I personally like Delphin Imperial the most, even though the truth is that you can pick basically any Delphin hotel and get similar high quality services. But here, the pools and overall feel that you get when you visit is what makes the difference.
“Imperial” is exactly the word that’s perfect to describe this hotel. Overwhelming and impressive, luxurious and huge, this is a real gem of a resort that will make you feel like royalty.
Operating under the motto “Everything you deserve,” Delphin Imperial offers 10 restaurants (one snack bar, one patisserie and 8 a la carte ones) as well as bars, including a stunning pool bar.
There’s also a lot for kids to do, with a mini club and teenager club available, with all sorts of games and entertainment options, including an amusement park, water slides, and special menus for kids.
The bonus – or just one of them – is the impressive design of the Mini Club which is built like an ancient castle.
Delphin Imperial is truly spectacular and completely impressive – a perfect place for a perfect holiday. So click here to find out more about it and book your dates at the best price!

Fame Residence Lara & Spa
What struck us as soon as we visited Fame Residence was the series of outdoor pools. An amazing design, blending overlapping bridges, palm trees and perfect water.
I found the children’s playground and kids’ pool to be safe and well-maintained, providing peace of mind while the kids played.
The spa offered a serene escape for me, balancing family time with some personal relaxation. After all, it’s not just the children that have to feel pampered during the holiday!
Although not one of the newest hotels in Lara, it’s still perfect for families, offering large rooms with great views.
The food options are not as impressive as in the other hotels recommended above – but you still won’t get hungry. Quite the contrary – maybe you will find it easier to get around since you don’t have dozens of places offering food.
All in all, this is a good, more budget-friendly location that families will enjoy in Lara, Turkey.

IC Hotels Green Palace – Kids Concept
As the name suggests, this hotel was created having the children’s entertainment as a top priority. And even though this is aimed at younger children, families with kids of all ages can definitely enjoy it.
But if you have younger kids (let’s say 12 or younger), this place is perfect, offering them the most options – from the plethora of kids pools, to the huge miniclub and various activities that happen throughout the day.
was particularly impressed with the cinema rooms and the aquapark, which provided hours of entertainment for the entire family.
The lush, green surroundings of the hotel added to the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of our vacation.
If you want extra luxury – and more silence, you can book one of the villas with private pools… but chances are, if you’re traveling with children, you will stay at the main pools where the activities are.
But all in all, this is a great hotel for the families, perfect for unforgettable holidays.

Wrapping up
The all inclusive concept in Turkey is, in my opinion, the best in Europe and among the best in the world, when we take costs into consideration.
Still affordable and offering so much for the money, it’s something you should enjoy multiple times in your life.
It’s even better if you do it with your family, especially when your children are younger so that they’re completely impressed by all the dedicated activities and goodies these hotels offer.
Because, yes, these are without a doubt the best all-inclusive family resorts in Turkey, located in the Lara beach region. And if you still have time, I recommend visiting Pamukkale, one of Turkey’s many natural wonders.
If you want to check out more options, or if your budget is a bit more limited, you can also check out my recommended all inclusive hotels in Bulgaria. They’re not as impressive, but still really good!
