Maxx Royal Kemer brings a more secluded, design-forward edge to the all-inclusive concept.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The pine-forested slopes of the Taurus Mountains surround the bay, an hour south of Antalya along the coast.
The rooms
Lagoon Suites step directly down from private terraces into the pool network, complete with walk-in dressing rooms.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An infinity pool edges against the coastal rock face, stretching out toward the Mediterranean horizon.
The spa
Treatment rooms host global massage therapies and aesthetic rituals, alongside daybeds resting beside sheer curtains.
The hammam and gym
An octagonal heated marble slab anchors the Turkish hammam, and the fitness room sits under geometric lighting.
Black Diamond Bar
Built straight into the rocky headland, this open-air timber lounge serves drinks over turquoise waters with evening DJ sets.
It’s like this sprawling resort has been carved out of the rocky landscape that envelopes it, despite the abundance of sleek villas.
At the table
Dining ranges from Aegean seafood on pine-shaded terraces to handmade Callebaut chocolates and French-style pastries.
How it began
Istanbul-based Baraka Architects shaped the buildings into the rocky coastline, leaving the surrounding pines for roaming mountain goats.
