Why Antalya

Antalya’s resorts are built for numbers: a plenary for the whole company, break-out rooms, and kitchens used to feeding hundreds at once. The all-inclusive rate covers rooms, meeting space, every meal and the bar, per person, so the budget is fixed before anyone flies.

Antalya (AYT) takes direct flights from most of Europe, which matters when two hundred people are converging from twelve offices. Most of what we run here is whole-company retreats.

We know this ground at scale. The JCI Autumn Summit ran in Kemer two years running, around two hundred people each time, in two different resorts on two different room structures.

Venues in Antalya

Every retreat is tailored, so we do not publish a property list. We shortlist for your brief, from places we have walked and stayed in.

Antalya has more hotel capacity than any other province in Türkiye. In 2019 it had over four hundred five-star hotels and holiday villages, and roughly two in every five of the country’s ministry-licensed beds.

The large resorts of Belek and Lara are built for conferences. The biggest have plenary halls that seat well over a thousand people theatre-style, with more than a dozen break-out rooms in the same building. Kemer, to the west, sits between the mountains and the sea. Side, to the east, has a Roman theatre and temple at the edge of the town.

For events larger than any resort, the city has dedicated exhibition and congress centres, including the Antalya Expo Center near the airport.

Best time for a retreat in Antalya

March to May, and September to November. The shoulder months are warm without the heat of July and August, and the resorts here stay open longer than anywhere else on the coast.

Winter is mild, and some resorts stay open all year for conferences and sport.

Forty to three hundred is where we work here.
When should we go?
March to May, and September to November. More on when to come is on this page.
Have you run large groups here?
Yes. The JCI Autumn Summit ran in Kemer in 2025 and 2026, around two hundred delegates each year, on 85- and 89-room blocks.
Is all-inclusive right for a leadership group?
Usually not. Fifteen people who notice everything are better served by Bodrum or İstanbul.
