Make summer last longer in sun-blessed Antalya, on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast. Nowhere captures the seaside spirit of the region better than Regnum Carya: a luxurious all-inclusive with a pampering spa, an 18-hole golf course, a splash-tastic Aquaworld, a galaxy of dining options and – drum roll, please – 17 bars. Here are five more reasons to visit…

For poolside glamour
Amber Lagoon Suites & Villas
If you fancy lolling by a sunny shared pool and relaxing in a shady leafy garden like an off-duty monk seal, you’ll love the Amber Lagoon Suites, which come with a stylish bedroom, a sitting area, sun-loungers and a dining table. For extra room to roam, upgrade to one of the new Amber Lagoon Villas and make the most of their own Bali-inspired spa and Peruvian restaurant, as well as a huge shared pool and a garden. These ravishing residences also have a private terrace, spacious living and dining areas, plus a fully-equipped kitchenette – if you can resist the resort restaurants.

For bohemian beach days
Alia Beach Club
Budding merpeople: make a beeline for Alia Beach Club, where palms sway in the breeze and pearlescent sands shimmer invitingly, lapped by cerulean waves. Soak up the mood (#MedGlam) as you float back and forth in one of the oversized swing chairs, or bask in the sun on your favourite lounger, with a parasol for shade. Savour delicious holiday dishes paired with something icy and fabulous: a tiramisù martini, perhaps? With live music in the day and bonfires and beats by night, there’s no need to move an inch. Equally alluring are the private cabanas on the pier or beach – order refreshments straight to your shady hideaway.

For show-stopping stars
Regnum’s Live in Concert series
When we say that Regnum Carya excels at resort entertainment, we don’t mean tepid poolside karaoke or questionable talent shows. We’re talking the likes of J.Lo (a die-hard fan of Turkish coffee, apparently), Dua Lipa, Tom Jones, Ricky Martin and Jason Derulo, all of whom have jetted in to get guests shimmying their hips and singing their lungs out. Regnum’s Live in Concert series kicked off with musical fireworks from Rita Ora, and the resort also hosted Christina Aguilera’s first Turkish concert. Keep an eye out for incoming platinum-record artists.

For the perfect swing
Carya Golf Club
Carya Golf Club’s credentials are worthy of Jack Nicklaus and co. In fact, Europe’s first fully floodlit court was designed by golf course architects Thomson Perrett and Lobb + Partners and founded by five-time British Open winner Peter Thomson. An emerald expanse with glittering sea glimpses and glimmers, Carya Golf Club hosts world-class matches, including the Turkish Airlines Open Golf Tournament. Beyond the resort’s course, there’s also the nearby National Golf Club: an 18-hole Championship Course, complete with a 40-bay driving range, two chipping and putting greens, practice bunkers and a fleet of PGA instructors.  

For VIP perks
Privilege Services
Let Regnum Carya spoil you with its Privilege Services, which are gifts to guests and not included in the all-inclusive accommodation. These include a ‘fast track and lounge’ service at Antalya Airport for international guests flying direct, access to the relaxing CIP Terminal for villa guests, or a complimentary VIP airport transfer when you book through Regnum Carya’s website. Other boons include access to the Land of Legends Theme Park and the Real Madrid Foundation Clinic for aspiring footballers. Channel main character energy with luxury helicopter transfers to and from the airport, or set sail on Yazz by Regnum, a 56m gulet yacht that guarantees magnificent voyages along the coast.
