Best Luxury Beaches in Alanya

Alanya for Luxury Travellers: Beachfront Resorts and Private Boat Caves

Alanya's luxury market is anchored by the Rixos Downtown Alanya and comparable five-star beachfront properties that deliver high-end all-inclusive experiences on the town's famous sandy beach, supplemented by private boat excursions to the sea caves below the castle that remain as atmospheric and impressive as when they were first described by Seljuk navigators. For those who want to combine Alanya's beach with world-class golf, the Belek resort strip is 2 hours west along the coastal highway and includes Turkey's finest golf hotel complexes.

Top Luxury Beaches in Alanya

Rixos Downtown Alanya — Beachfront

The Rixos Downtown Alanya is the most prominent luxury hotel on Cleopatra Beach — a large, modern resort tower with direct private beach access, multiple pools, a comprehensive spa, and the all-inclusive dining format that Rixos has refined across its Turkish properties. The hotel's beach section is managed with a level of organisation and service that distinguishes it from the public sections of Cleopatra: consistent sun-lounger placement, attentive beach service, and a level of cleanliness that the busiest sections of the public beach cannot always maintain. For a luxury all-inclusive experience on the Mediterranean's best sandy beach, the Rixos is the standard-setter in Alanya.

Kempinski Hotel The Dome — Belek (2 Hours West)

The Kempinski The Dome in Belek is Turkey's most architecturally celebrated beach hotel — a glass-domed centrepiece building set among pine forests above a private stretch of Belek's long sandy beach, with a spa, multiple restaurants, and a golf programme connected to the adjacent championship courses. Two hours from Alanya along the coastal highway, Kempinski The Dome represents the top end of the Turkish Mediterranean luxury market and provides a natural supplement to an Alanya resort holiday for guests who want a night or two of exceptional luxury combined with their mainstream resort stay.

Private Boat Tour — Pirate Cave and Damlataş Cave

The sea caves below Alanya castle — including the Pirate Cave, Lovers' Cave, and Phosphorus Cave — are accessible only by sea and are one of the Mediterranean coast's most atmospheric boat excursions. A private skippered boat from Alanya marina takes guests into the caves at their own pace — stopping inside the phosphorescent caverns where Aegean light reflects blue and green off the water — before continuing to Red Tower and the castle walls rising from the sea. Combining a private cave tour with a swim stop and a lunch of fresh fish in a cove below the castle cliffs is one of Alanya's finest half-day experiences.
