Flora Garden Beach

It’s not every day you can step out of your accommodation onto perfect golden sand, with the sea a literal stone’s throw away. At the Flora Garden Beach hotel – just over an hour’s drive from Antalya Airport – there’s precisely 850 metres of private beach, the showstopper at the five-star complex that’s surrounded by pine trees and lush gardens. 

If you can scrape yourself away from Boho Beach and its tempting tiki bar, the hotel boasts a wealth of top facilities to help you effortlessly transition into holiday mode. Take a leisurely dip in one of the two outdoor swimming pools, or melt away at the spa and wellness centre, which offers a menu of tempting treatments, complete with a sauna and Turkish hammam.

Most of the contemporary rooms here have sea views, and they all come equipped with air conditioning, a flatscreen TV, and a minibar. Your private bathroom will be fitted with a bath or shower, and a range of complimentary toiletries to freshen you up. If you want to up the luxury levels, choose a private villa option, which come with a private swimming pool.

Float your way back into the hotel’s complex and refuel at one of the four eateries. The main restaurant offers a diverse international menu; the steakhouse is great for a perfect portion of meat; The Yang Teppanyaki Restaurant is where you can watch the chefs in action; and a Mediterranean restaurant offers a range of fresh seafood on the outside terrace, where you can stare into the horizon and think about how you’re going to spend the next day in your five-star bubble.
