Long Beach Resort Hotel & Spa

On this page ↓

Quick Verdict

Long Beach Resort Hotel & Spa — marketed on its own site as Long Beach Alanya, under the Long Beach Resorts umbrella — is the closest thing Turkey has to a theme park with a beach attached. Spread across 93,000 square meters in the Türkler-İncekum stretch west of Alanya, it packs in multiple aquaparks for adults and children, an amusement park with a Ferris wheel, carousel and bumper cars, a small zoo with ponies and peacocks, an adventure park with a zipline, a surf pool with instructors, a bowling-equipped game hall and a private beach. All of it on a genuine Ultra All Inclusive concept.

The pricing is what makes it interesting. This is a five-star that regularly sits well below the Lara and Belek five-stars for a comparable — arguably larger — activity offering. If your holiday success metric is “how many hours a day are my children entertained without me,” this is one of the strongest bookings in Turkey.

The costs are real, though. Antalya Airport is 90 km away, which is a genuinely long transfer with tired kids. Türkler is 20 km from Alanya town, so there is no strolling out for dinner. And villa and chalet guests eat at their own Villa Restaurant rather than the main buffets, which is a structural quirk you should understand before booking the “nicer” accommodation.

Rooms and Suites

Long Beach’s accommodation is unusually varied for a Turkish resort, spread across a main building, an annex, a villa complex and a set of wooden chalets. That variety is a genuine strength and also the source of the property’s biggest quirk.

Hotel Rooms

Standard Room Land View and Standard Room Sea View are both 28 m², sleeping two adults plus a child. Superior Room steps up to 33 m² for up to three adults. Standard Room Pool Access is 33 m² and opens directly onto a pool terrace. Swim Up Room is 30 m² with a private area, its own pool access and a sun terrace with loungers — the most popular upgrade and worth the money if you can get one.

Family Rooms

Family Room with Bunkbed is 35 m² and the practical mid-range family choice. Family Duplex is 45 m² for up to four adults plus a child, arranged over two levels. Swim Up Family Duplex is 49 m² and combines the duplex layout with direct pool access from the room — the best family room on the property, and the one that books out first in July and August.

Chalets and Villas

The Chalet houses are 43 m², built with wooden interiors and set among palms and planting, sleeping four adults plus a child. The Villa Suite Ground Floor is 40 m² for four adults plus a child; the Villa Suite Upper Floor is 56 m² and takes up to six adults plus a child, which makes it one of the better large-group options anywhere in Alanya.

Important caveat: villa and chalet guests are served breakfast and dinner at the dedicated Villa Restaurant, not the main buffets. That restaurant also puts out cakes and fruit during the day. Whether that reads as a perk or a downgrade depends entirely on what the Villa Restaurant is serving that week — confirm what access you have to Hayat and Harmony before you upgrade.

Our Pick

For a family of four with young children, the Swim Up Family Duplex. For a multi-generational group of six, the Villa Suite Upper Floor, provided you have checked the dining arrangement. For a couple on a budget, a plain Superior Room and the money saved spent on the à la carte restaurants and the spa.

Food and Dining

Eight venues, and unusually clear thematic separation between them.

The Buffets

Hayat Restaurant is the main open buffet, running an international spread across the day. Harmony Restaurant is the second buffet, serving morning and evening open buffets with a menu that ranges from traditional Turkish to world cuisine. Having two full buffets rather than one enormous hall is a real quality-of-life advantage at a resort this size — it spreads the crowds and gives you somewhere different to eat breakfast on day four.

Villa Restaurant serves breakfast and dinner for villa and chalet guests, plus cakes and fruit through the day.

The À La Carte Restaurants

El Sombrero is the Mexican restaurant, positioned for the Mediterranean sunset — the best table on the property at 8pm. Delphin is the fish restaurant, working a coastal-restaurant concept with a sea view and a Mediterranean menu. Lapiano covers Mediterranean and world cuisine with an emphasis on fresh seafood. The Turkish Cuisine restaurant sits close to the beach and builds authentic Turkish recipes from seasonal local produce — the one to prioritize if you want to eat something regional.

Madeleine Patisserie opens from sunrise to sunset for coffee, cakes and desserts.

One correction to the “ultra all inclusive” headline: the à la carte restaurants require an advance reservation and carry a small per-person service cover charge — recent guests report around EUR 3 a head. Children under 13 eat free from the dedicated child menu, but a child ordering from the adult menu pays the full service fee. Some tour operator packages bundle one free à la carte visit per seven nights, with subsequent visits charged. It is a nominal sum rather than a Titanic-style EUR 45 hit, but it is not zero — budget for it and book your reservations on arrival.

Bars and Drinks

The bar program covers cocktails made by the resort’s bartenders, soft drinks, juices, tea and coffee, and — in the hotel’s own wording — “internationally branded spirits.” That phrasing puts it a tier above the unbranded local spirits that many Alanya properties pour, though no specific brand list is published. Club Tropicana is the night club, running the late end of the evening.

If brand tier matters to you, ask for the concept sheet before booking. Our guide on what all-inclusive alcohol actually includes explains why this question deserves a direct answer in Turkey specifically.

Food Quality Verdict

Breadth is the strength here: two buffets, four themed à la carte rooms and a patisserie is a lot of choice at this price point. Execution is the weakness, and it is the single most common theme in 2025-2026 reviews — guests describe the main buffet as plentiful but repetitive and frequently lukewarm, with long lines at peak dinner in a resort holding well over 2,000 beds.

Do not expect the gourmet execution of a Lara Barut or a Maxx Royal; this is a high-volume family resort and the cooking is calibrated accordingly. The practical fix is straightforward: book the à la carte restaurants for as many nights as the cover charge allows, prioritize the Turkish Cuisine restaurant and Delphin, and eat at the start of service rather than at 8pm.

Beach and Pools

The Beach

Long Beach sits directly on the İncekum shoreline with its own private beach — a genuinely wide stretch of sand, which is what İncekum (“fine sand”) is named for and why this pocket of coast draws families rather than the party crowd. Sun loungers with umbrellas are provided, water sports operate from the beach, and cabanas in a private area come with a call-button waiter service. Gazebos offer a similar private-cabin arrangement. Assume the premium cabanas and gazebos carry a charge and reserve them in advance.

Pools

The pool complex is deliberately varied rather than one big rectangle:

• Infinity Talaso Pool — the signature pool, designed so the water line reads into the Mediterranean horizon
• Salt water pools — naturally disinfected, the quiet end of the resort and a genuine differentiator
• Concept pools — several themed pools around the grounds
• Children’s pools — separate from the adult areas

The Aquaparks

This is the headline. Long Beach runs aquaparks for both adults and children, including a main aquapark, an octopus children’s slide, a pirate aqua park with a pirate pool, the Zebra & Magic Hall, a drop pool, a witch’s cauldron pool and an aqua tower. It is one of the largest water-slide offerings at any Turkish all-inclusive, and the reason a lot of families book here rather than at a smarter-looking five-star with three slides. See our all-inclusive resorts with water parks roundup for how it compares globally.

Activities and Entertainment

Daytime

Beyond the water: a Theme Park with a Ferris wheel, carousels and bumper cars; a zoo with pony horses, peacocks and other animals; an Adventure Park with a zipline on the beach side of the resort; a Surf Center with a private surf pool and professional instructors — an unusual and genuinely fun facility; a Game Hall with digital games and bookable bowling; and sports areas covering tennis, basketball, beach volleyball, a mini football field and mini golf. A modern fitness center with trainers rounds it out.

That list is longer than at resorts costing twice as much. It is also why the property is busy and loud in high season — you cannot have a zipline, a Ferris wheel and a surf pool and also have serenity.

Evening

Concept and style shows, world-famous show productions, theme parties, live music in several styles, and Club Tropicana for the late crowd. The animation program runs throughout the day as well.

Longy Kids Club

The children’s club is branded Longy, running weekly entertainment programs in a purpose-built, thoughtfully designed space, with children’s festivals organized as family events. Combined with the children’s aquapark, the zoo, the theme park and the game hall, this is one of the strongest kids’ offerings in Turkey — see our best all-inclusive resorts for families guide for the wider comparison set.

Spa and Wellness

Two separate spa centers, which is unusual and useful at a resort this size. Facilities cover a traditional Turkish bath with deep peeling, sauna, steam room, massages and therapies, skin and body care treatments, and ayurvedic therapy. The Savie Beauty Center operates alongside as a hair, makeup, manicure and skincare salon with professional stylists — handy if you are here for a wedding or a special occasion.

Treatments are chargeable, as everywhere in Turkey. The fitness center with trainers is included.

What’s Included vs Extra

Included	Extra Cost
Ultra All Inclusive board — the standard concept	Spa treatments, massages and hammam rituals
Hayat and Harmony buffets (or Villa Restaurant for villas/chalets)	Savie Beauty Center hair, nails and makeup
Access to the à la carte restaurants (reservation required)	À la carte per-person service cover charge (around EUR 3)
	Beach cabanas and gazebo private-cabin service
Madeleine Patisserie, snacks, tea and coffee	Freshly squeezed juices and some game-room activities
	Motorized water sports from the beach
Internationally branded spirits, cocktails, juices, soft drinks	Excursions to Alanya castle, Dim Cave and boat trips
All pools including Infinity Talaso and salt-water pools	Laundry, dry cleaning and personal services
All aquaparks, adults’ and children’s	Airport transfers unless bundled in a package
Theme park, zoo, adventure park and zipline	Doctor and medical services
Longy Kids Club and children’s festivals	Premium à la carte upgrades, if offered
Sports areas, mini golf, fitness center, evening shows, Club Tropicana	Bowling in the game hall (booking required)

Turkish accommodation tax is normally shown in the rate; confirm at booking. Tipping is customary but not obligatory — see our all-inclusive tipping guide.

Pricing and How to Book

Price Ranges by Season

Season	Period	Price per Night (Double, Ultra AI)
Low	November-March	$95-125
Shoulder	April-May, October	$110-150
High	June, September	$140-180
Peak	July-August	$170-220+

These are indicative planning ranges for two adults in an entry-level double on the Ultra All Inclusive concept, not live quotes. Swim-up rooms, family duplexes, chalets and villa suites price above this, and villa suites sleeping six are quoted per unit rather than per couple. Rates change with season and availability — confirm the current rate and exactly what’s included before you book.

The value case is straightforward: you are paying Alanya prices for a facilities package that would cost Belek or Lara money forty minutes further west. The offsetting cost is the transfer.

Where to Book

Read this before you book anywhere. Long Beach Resorts has publicly warned that fake websites using its name and corporate identity have been operating, and states that longbeach.com.tr is its only official site with no other proprietary online sales platform — a Turkish court ordered access to one such site blocked in July 2026. Book through the official site or through a major, recognizable OTA or tour operator. Do not book through a search-result link you have not verified.

For UK and European travelers, package operators flying into Antalya (AYT) or, better, Gazipaşa-Alanya (GZP) will usually price competitively once transfers are included. Gazipaşa is only 60 km away versus 90 km for Antalya, so if your operator offers it, take it — you will save roughly an hour each way.

Book three to five months ahead for July and August. Six weeks is generally enough for shoulder season.

Check current rates on Booking.com before you commit, and confirm the à la carte restaurant policy and your dining access directly with the hotel if you are booking a villa or chalet.

Compared to Nearby Resorts

vs Mylome Luxury Hotel & Resort

Mylome Luxury Hotel & Resort is the polish play in Alanya — a smaller, more refined property with an exceptional guest-review record, a climbing wall, a pier and swim-up rooms, at roughly three to four times Long Beach’s entry rate. If you want the best-executed five-star experience in Alanya and price is secondary, Mylome is the answer.

Long Beach wins on scale and on sheer volume of things for children to do: Mylome has an aquapark, but it does not have a zoo, a Ferris wheel, a zipline and a surf pool. Families with three kids and a budget should book Long Beach; couples and small families who value calm and finish should book Mylome.

vs Eftalia Ocean Resort

Eftalia Ocean Resort is the closest direct competitor — another large Türkler family resort in the same price bracket with its own water park. The two are frequently shortlisted against each other, and the decision usually comes down to which specific slides, room type and rate you land. Long Beach’s differentiators are the chalet and villa accommodation, the zoo, the theme park and the surf pool; Eftalia’s are its own aquapark scale and layout.

Price both for your exact dates and room type — on this stretch of coast, the difference between the two on any given week is more often about availability than about quality.

vs the Antalya five-stars

If a shorter transfer matters more than price, the Lara Beach resorts — Titanic Deluxe Lara and Lara Barut Collection — are 12 to 20 minutes from Antalya Airport instead of 90 km away, with better dining but higher rates and smaller grounds. Our best all-inclusive resorts in Turkey guide ranks the full field, and the Turkey destination hub compares coasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Long Beach Resort Hotel & Spa genuinely all-inclusive?

Yes. The hotel states plainly that its concept is Ultra All Inclusive with a family atmosphere — it is the standard board basis, not an optional package. That covers the buffets, snacks, patisserie and drinks including internationally branded spirits. The asterisks are the à la carte restaurants, which carry a small per-head service cover charge of roughly EUR 3 plus a reservation, along with beach cabanas, freshly squeezed juices, some game-room activities and the spa.

Why is the hotel sometimes called Long Beach Alanya?

Because that is the current official branding. The property trades on booking sites as Long Beach Resort Hotel & Spa but is marketed on its own website as Long Beach Alanya, under a Long Beach Resorts umbrella that also includes Long Beach Club Nature. Same property, same address in Türkler.

How far is it from the airport?

90 km from Antalya Airport (AYT), which realistically means 90 minutes or more depending on traffic through Alanya’s coastal corridor. Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) is closer at 60 km but serves far fewer international routes. This is the single biggest practical drawback of the location — factor it into flight timings if you are traveling with small children.

Is there anything to do outside the resort?

Not within walking distance. Türkler and İncekum are 5 km from Avsallar and Konaklı and 20 km from Alanya city with its castle, harbor and market. This resort is designed to be the destination; if you want to walk out for dinner and shops, book in Alanya town or on the Lara strip instead. Alanya’s full resort lineup covers the alternatives.

Is it suitable for couples?

It can be, but go in clear-eyed. This is a large, loud, family-first resort with a Ferris wheel and a zoo. The salt-water pools and the two spa centers give you quiet corners, and the sunset tables at El Sombrero are genuinely romantic, but the overall atmosphere is not a couples’ retreat. Couples wanting Alanya without the chaos should look at Mylome or at an adults-only property elsewhere on the coast.

When is the best time to go?

May, June, September and early October give you reliable Mediterranean heat, warm sea and lower rates than the July-August peak, and the aquaparks are fully operational. July and August are hot, expensive and extremely busy. Winter is very cheap but many outdoor facilities close — see our best time to visit Turkey for all-inclusive guide for the month-by-month detail.

Final Verdict: 7.9 out of 10

Long Beach Resort Hotel & Spa is the best facilities-per-dollar all-inclusive on the Alanya coast, and it is not especially close. Across 93,000 square meters you get multiple aquaparks for adults and children, an amusement park with a Ferris wheel and bumper cars, a small zoo, an adventure park with a zipline, a private surf pool with instructors, a bowling hall, mini golf, two full buffets, four themed à la carte restaurants, two spa centers, an infinity Talaso pool, salt-water pools and a genuinely wide İncekum beach — all on an Ultra All Inclusive concept with branded spirits, at rates that start around a third of what a Belek five-star charges.

What holds it to 7.9 is scale, location and food. At around 773 rooms and well over 2,000 beds, the recurring 2025-2026 complaints are exactly what you would predict: elevator waits, crowded buffet lines, slow bar service at peak, and a main buffet that guests describe as plentiful but repetitive and often lukewarm. Its 8.0-8.2 Booking.com score and 4.2/5 TripAdvisor rating are honest reflections of that — good value, not a polished five-star. Ninety kilometers from Antalya Airport is a long way with tired children, and Gazipaşa’s limited flight schedule does not always rescue you. Türkler is genuinely isolated. Villa and chalet guests dine at a separate restaurant, which matters if you are upgrading. And the à la carte cover charge, small as it is, means “ultra all inclusive” comes with a footnote. The last major renovations were 2017 and 2020 with rolling updates since, so ask which building you are in.

Book it if: you have children, you want the maximum number of things for them to do per dollar spent, you are happy for the resort to be the whole holiday, and you can absorb a long transfer. Book Mylome instead if finish and calm matter more than scale, or the Lara Beach resorts if a short airport transfer is non-negotiable.
