Bayou Villas Lara Antalya - Antalya

Overview

Other facilities

Whether you’re craving high-octane energy or a sun-soaked sense of calm, the resort offers a world of leisure at your feet. Start your day on the resort’s private beach, where soft, golden sands meet the deep blue Mediterranean and wide daybeds sit shaded beneath white-canopied parasols. Order a cocktail or fresh juice straight to your lounger and take in the sound of waves lapping the shore, or slip into the sea for a refreshing dip. If the pool is more your scene, you’ll be spoilt for choice with nine to explore – from the lagoon-style pool that winds through palm-studded gardens to the heated indoor pool, cocooned in soft lighting and flanked by plush loungers. There’s also a vibrant aquapark with winding slides, dedicated splash zones for little ones and peaceful adults-only pools when you want to dial things down. For something extra special, you can reserve one of the resort’s stylish beachside pavilions – designed for up to five people – where you’ll enjoy all-day beverage service and uninterrupted relaxation in your own shaded sanctuary.

Fitness enthusiasts will feel right at home in the hotel’s state-of-the-art gym, where floor-to-ceiling mirrors, polished wood flooring and sleek machines set the tone for a serious workout. Meanwhile, the resort’s Sports Academy offers an impressive schedule of daily activities, such as sea gym, bungee fly, aqua Zumba, Pilates, anti-gravity yoga and more, all set against the resort’s stunning natural backdrop. Whether you're training solo or joining a class, staying active feels like part of the fun. Outside, the tennis courts – laid with quartz and tartan surfaces – are ready for rallies by day or night, thanks to floodlights and complimentary equipment. When it’s time to unwind, sink into the calming atmosphere of the spa, where dim lighting, soft music and natural textures create the perfect setting for renewal. Indulge in a signature massage, relax in the traditional hammam or melt into the steam room before stepping into the indoor pool’s warm waters.

Younger guests are treated to a world of their own, with thoughtful spaces and dedicated clubs that make their holiday memorable. The Bary Star baby concept offers essentials like bottle warmers and baby baths to take the stress out of travelling with little ones up to age three, while the Kids Club splits children aged four to twelve into age-appropriate groups. Friendly professionals lead them in art, games, treasure hunts and water fun within well-equipped play spaces. For teens aged 13 to 18, the LOL Club is the ultimate summer hangout – think gaming consoles, karaoke sessions, billiards, table tennis, graffiti workshops and the occasional foam party by the pool. Please note that the LOL Club only operates in the summer season. When the sun goes down, the energy ramps up with live music, concept parties and DJ sets at Majo Beach, where lanterns flicker in the warm breeze and the sunset paints the sky in tangerine and violet hues.

Dining information

With no fewer than nine a la carte restaurants and a wealth of grab-and-go options, the resort offers an impressive dining experience designed to suit every palate. Start your culinary journey at Zestful Bazaar, the main buffet restaurant, where live cooking stations, a vegan corner and modern interiors set the scene for global flavours served with flair. For a taste of Antalya, Tirmis champions regional dishes made with local ingredients, while Akdeniz Fine Dining pairs refined Mediterranean plates with a romantic, candlelit setting. Kuyu offers a more traditional Turkish feel, complete with tiled walls, low lighting and a menu led by the signature lamb kebab. Seafood lovers should book a table at Sandal, with its fresh daily catch and breezy terrace, while Italian classics are on the menu at Pizzeria Di Laura – think crisp Napoli-style pizzas in a warm, family-friendly space.

For something a little different, head to Iro Sushi Bar for East Asian specialities or take a seat at Kirpi, where you can grill your own cuts of meat under the stars. Meanwhile, Turunc offers stylish all-day dining, with a relaxed garden setting and a menu that moves from light lunches to elegant evening meals with ease. You’ll also find plenty of casual bites across the resort. Hungry Gorilla Grab ‘N’ Go is a laidback stop by the pool for burgers, pizzas and fresh snacks, while Kumda Kirpi Burger House offers a gourmet twist on American favourites, served with homemade lemonade and crispy fries. For something sweet, follow the scent of warm pastries to Hanimeli Patisserie, where you can settle in with a cappuccino and handmade cake in a pretty, pastel-toned space.

The bar scene is just as enticing. The Cay Room offers a relaxed, lounge-style setting with panoramic sea views and a carefully curated drinks list, including tea-based cocktails by a celebrated mixologist. Meltem Pool Bar and Lagoon Bar are both perfect for a midday spritz or a post-swim refresh, with shaded seating and tropical-style cocktails served in the sunshine. If you’re heading to the beach, Majo Beach Club delivers cool drinks and chilled out vibes just steps from the sand, while Yasemin Bar – tucked alongside the main activity pool – keeps things lively with colourful cocktails and a sociable setting. When the sun goes down, Du Du Mango lights up the dancefloor with live DJ sets and signature drinks, making it the place to be for late-night fun.

Bayou Villas guests also benefit from exclusive access to the dedicated Weik Restaurant, serving up mouth-watering Mediterranean flavours crafted with fresh local ingredients from morning to evening. High ceilings, impressive lighting fixtures and warm wood textiles create the perfect environment to savour your meal, or you can opt to sit outside amongst the leafy, manicured gardens. Additionally, the vibrant Bayou Lounge is a sleek bar boasting a menu of specialty cocktails, local and international beers and an extensive wine list, complete with atmospheric music and a beautiful outdoor seating deck that sits atop a shallow moat. You’ll also enjoy exclusive all-day menus in the Pavilion Bar, ensuring your food and drink needs are covered with finesse while you relax in style.
