Rixos Premium Tekirova

On this page ↓

Quick Verdict

Rixos Premium Tekirova — officially Rixos Premium Tekirova – The Land of Legends Access since Rixos folded free theme-park entry into the rate — is the maximalist option on Turkey’s Kemer coast. It occupies 186,000 m² of red-pine forest between the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean, roughly an hour south of Antalya, and it throws everything at you: more than eleven restaurants, a dozen bars, ten water slides, a separate Rixy Kids Aquapark with a lazy river, a 30,000 m² children’s complex, padel courts, a triathlon program, a hammam, and a private beach with a pier.

It is not flawless. The standard 32 m² Deluxe rooms are small and visibly older than the price suggests, and the a la carte reservation system is the single most consistent complaint in 2025–2026 reviews. But this is a genuine ultra all-inclusive — the board basis is the default, not an upsell — and the volume of what’s covered is extraordinary. Families who want a self-contained week and couples who want a big, sociable resort rather than a quiet boutique will get their money’s worth. If you want small and calm, look elsewhere in Turkey.

Rooms and Suites

The accommodation ladder here is unusually steep, and where you sit on it changes the holiday completely.

Deluxe Rooms

The entry-level Deluxe Room comes in Land View and Sea View at 32 m², sleeping up to three with a king bed and a single sofa bed. Wooden furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows, minibar, satellite TV. They are perfectly comfortable — and they are the weakest part of the property. Thirty-two square meters is tight for a five-star at this price, the styling is a decade behind the public areas, and multiple 2025 reviews describe surfaces that look tired and heavily used. An accessible Deluxe at 26 m² is available.

Suites

This is where the resort starts justifying the “Premium”. The Deluxe Family Suite (52 m², garden or sea view, five people max) is the sensible family choice: proper separation, a queen plus a double plus a sofa bed. The Pool Suite (45 m²) puts you directly on the pool side near the kids’ club and the slides, which parents of under-tens consistently rate as the best-value room in the building. Above those sit the Deluxe Suite (100 m²), Family Garden Suite (46 m²) and the King Suite at a genuinely enormous 300 m².

Villas

The villa section is a resort within the resort: Pool Villa and Family Pool Villa at 100 m², Executive Villa at 200 m² for seven, and Superior Villa at 300 m² for eight. Villa guests get the Pool Villa Bar, two sandy-bottom pools of their own, and — for Executive and Superior — free 24-hour a la carte service at the Exclusive Club, which neatly sidesteps the reservation problem that plagues everyone else.

Our Pick

Pool Suite for families with young children; Executive Villa if the budget stretches, purely because the Exclusive Club access removes the resort’s biggest friction point. Avoid the standard Deluxe Land View unless price is the deciding factor.

Food and Dining

The Buffets

Turquoise is the main restaurant: a large international open buffet serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, refurbished with a 250-seat terrace extension and running long hours. It is good, varied and — inevitably at this size — busy at peak. Veranda (capacity 150) is the quieter alternative for breakfast and dinner, and suite and villa guests who get access to it describe it as the single biggest quality-of-life upgrade of their stay. Food Court covers the middle of the day with Turkish pastry, a snack buffet and a tea-time run of noodles, sandwiches and burgers. People’s runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which is what genuinely separates an ultra all-inclusive from a normal one at 2am with a jet-lagged toddler.

The A La Cartes

There are six themed a la carte restaurants and they are genuinely good: La Rosetta (Italian, 40 indoors and 60 on the terrace), Mermaid (Mediterranean seafood), Mandarin (Far East), Cactus (South American), A’La Turca (classical Turkish, prepared by the hotel’s master chefs) and the newer Chill & Grill Garden Restaurant, an open-fire barbecue concept running 19:00–22:00 with a mountain view. There is also Rixy Kids Restaurant for children from lunchtime onward and an Ice Cream House.

Here is the honest part. These restaurants are included in the ultra all-inclusive plan, but reservations are handled on a first-come-first-served basis, and that system is the resort’s most persistent criticism. Guests report queuing early, missing out, and — in the words of one recent reviewer — struggling to book a table even arriving outside peak season. Get to the reservation desk on your first morning and book the whole week at once. Club House, the villa-side Mediterranean concept, is now effectively villa-guest territory and carries an additional cost for everyone else.

Bars and Drinks

Twelve-plus outlets, and the good ones are excellent. Rêverie Lobby Lounge is the elegant evening anchor (9am–midnight); Highlights Bar handles the main pool; Lotus Bar runs 10am to midnight; Patisserie Art is coffee, cake and quiet; The Public Sports Lounge is a proper sports bar with pub food and VIP seating; Chaos Disco takes over late indoors. Down on the sand, the revamped Vista Beach area adds sunset events, live music and signature cocktails, backed by V Fresh (fruit, 12:00–15:00) and V Pastry (made-to-order savory pastries, 11:30–15:00). There is a Starbucks. Rixos does not publish a per-brand spirits list, so confirm at check-in — but the Rixos ultra all-inclusive is widely regarded as one of the more generous drinks packages on the Turkish coast rather than a local-brands-only affair.

Food Quality Verdict

Volume and range are exceptional; execution is very good at the a la cartes and solid-to-good at the buffets. The frustration is access, not quality.

Beach and Pools

The Beach

Rixos Premium Tekirova has a long private beach with sun loungers, umbrellas and towels provided free, and shaded pavilions available at extra cost. Set expectations correctly: this is a sand-and-pebble beach with a pebbly entry, and most guests use the pier to get into deeper water. The water clarity in this stretch of coast is superb — Tekirova faces the Mediterranean with Mount Tahtali behind it and the Phaselis ruins 6 km up the road — but if you have imagined powder-soft Caribbean sand, adjust. Sea shoes are a sensible pack.

Pools

Four pools: a large main pool that doubles as the animation team’s stage for water polo and aqua-fit, two sandy-bottom pools in the villa section, and a heated indoor lap pool in the spa that turns this into a viable November-to-March resort. Then there are the slides — ten of them across the main aquapark — plus the separate Rixy Kids Aquapark, with four child-scaled slides and a lazy river sized so that small children can actually use it unsupervised by the standards of a big Turkish resort. Loungers are plentiful, with overflow seating on the lawns.

Activities and Entertainment

Daytime

Rixos claims more than twenty sports and classes, and the Exclusive Sports Club actually delivers on it: padel with private and group lessons, court rental and floodlit evening matches; tennis, badminton, football, basketball and beach volleyball; mountain biking into the hills; water sports off the beach; a triathlon event combining mountain biking to Cennet Bay with paddling and functional training; Sunrise Yoga on the beach; and “Sports with Pro’s” sessions with visiting professionals. There is a large adventure park in the grounds and a mini-zoo. Guided excursions run to Phaselis (6 km), the Tahtali cable car (15 km), the Chimaera flames (27 km) and Olympos.

The Land of Legends

This is the headline. Your rate includes complimentary entrance and transfer to The Land of Legends, Turkey’s biggest theme and water park in Belek. It is a full day out — coaster rides, a huge water park, shows and a shopping avenue — and buying it separately for a family of four is a serious sum. It also involves a long coach ride each way, so plan it as a day committed rather than an afternoon whim.

Evening

Nightly shows in the amphitheater, live music across the bars, karaoke, and Chaos Disco for the late crowd. Executive and Superior villa guests also get complimentary access to the Fallmazing Fest concerts at sister property Rixos Sungate. It is a loud, sociable, brightly lit evening operation — excellent if that is what you booked for, wearing if it isn’t.

Kids’ and Teens’ Club

The children’s offer is the strongest argument for this resort. Rixy Kids Club spreads across a huge dedicated area with a Baby Beach, football and ballet academies, the Rixy Cinema, a nap room, the Rixy Game Centre, an outdoor adventure park, and the Rixy Farm and Pond Garden where children meet animals. Rixy Kids Restaurant and Rixy Kids Bar feed them on a child’s schedule. Older children get the new Teens Club — games, karaoke, PlayStation, billiards — which is the piece most Turkish resorts get wrong. It comfortably belongs in the conversation alongside our best all-inclusive resorts for families.

Spa and Wellness

Anjana Spa is the wellness center, and the included facilities are better than average: steam room, Finnish sauna and traditional Turkish hammam come with the stay, along with the fitness center and the heated indoor pool. Treatments — Thai massage, hot stone, algae and moss therapies, facials, hammam rituals with a therapist — are chargeable. Book hammam sessions for the middle of the day when everyone else is on the beach.

What’s Included vs Extra

Included	Extra cost
Full ultra all-inclusive board: buffets, snacks and 24-hour dining at People’s	Club House (villa concept, additional cost for non-villa guests)
A la carte restaurants — La Rosetta, Mermaid, Mandarin, Cactus, A’La Turca, Chill & Grill (reservation required)	Spa treatments, massages and therapist-led hammam rituals
Drinks across all bars during service hours	Shaded beach pavilions and cabanas
Entrance and transfer to The Land of Legends theme park	Airport transfers (chargeable shuttle)

All-inclusive status: this is a true ultra all-inclusive. The board basis is the default rate, not an optional package bolted on at booking. Gratuities are stated to be included, though additional tipping is accepted — our tipping guide covers the etiquette.

Pricing and How to Book

Price Ranges by Season

Season	Months	Typical per night, two adults, ultra all-inclusive
Low	November–March (limited operation, heated pool season)	$220–310
Shoulder	April–May, October	$300–420
High	June, September	$400–600
Peak	July–August, New Year	$550–850+

Villas and Pool Suites carry substantial supplements — expect to roughly double the Deluxe rate for an Executive Villa in high season. Rates change with season and availability — confirm the current rate and exactly what’s included before you book.

Best Time to Book

Turkish resorts reward early booking harder than Caribbean ones: Rixos releases early-booking rates in autumn for the following summer, and July–August at this property routinely sells out of family suites by spring. Late September and early October are the sweet spot — sea still warm, rates a third off peak, kids’ club still running. Our guide to the best time to visit Turkey for an all-inclusive breaks the calendar down properly.

Where to Book

Accor’s ALL and the All Inclusive Collection site are the sharpest option if you hold ALL status, since points earn and member rates apply. Booking.com lists it under the legacy rixos-tekirova-antalya URL. UK operators (Thomas Cook, TUI and the luxury specialists) package flights, transfers and the resort together and are often cheaper all-in — for context, seven nights ultra all-inclusive with flights for four has appeared around £1,079 per person in late October.

Compared to Nearby Resorts

Rixos Sungate is the sister property up the coast at Beldibi: bigger, louder, more of a party-and-concerts operation, with its own aquapark and a stronger young-adult crowd. If your children are teenagers and you want nightlife, Sungate edges it; if they are under ten, Tekirova’s kids’ complex is better. Maxx Royal Kemer is the genuine luxury play on this coast — smaller, quieter, far more polished rooms, an appreciably better beach, and a price to match. The honest summary: Maxx Royal wins on refinement and hardware, Sungate wins on energy, and Rixos Premium Tekirova wins on the sheer breadth of what a family gets for the money, especially once you count The Land of Legends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Rixos Premium Tekirova all-inclusive?

Yes — it is a true ultra all-inclusive and the board basis is the standard rate, not an optional add-on. Buffets, the six themed a la carte restaurants, the 24-hour People’s restaurant, snacks and drinks across all bars are covered. Club House carries an additional cost for non-villa guests, and spa treatments, motorized water sports, excursions and beach pavilions are extra.

Is The Land of Legends really included?

Yes. The hotel’s full official name is now “Rixos Premium Tekirova – The Land of Legends Access”, and the rate includes complimentary entrance and transfer to the theme park in Belek. It is a coach transfer of roughly an hour and a half each way, so treat it as a full day rather than a quick trip.

How far is Rixos Premium Tekirova from Antalya airport?

Roughly 65-75 km depending on the source and route, which realistically means an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes by road. It is one of the resort’s genuine drawbacks — sister Rixos properties in Belek are much closer to AYT. Airport transfers are a chargeable shuttle rather than an included service.

How hard is it to book the a la carte restaurants?

Harder than it should be. Reservations run on a first-come-first-served basis at the desk, and 2025–2026 guests consistently report struggling to secure tables, including outside peak season. The workaround is to go to the reservations desk on your first morning and book every night of your stay at once. Executive and Superior villa guests avoid the issue entirely via 24-hour access to the Exclusive Club.

Is Rixos Premium Tekirova good for young children?

Very. The Rixy Kids Club complex includes a Baby Beach, football and ballet academies, a cinema, a nap room, a game center, an adventure park and a small farm, with its own children’s restaurant and bar. The Rixy Kids Aquapark has four child-scaled slides and a lazy river, and the Pool Suites put you a short walk from all of it. There is also a separate Teens Club for older children.

Are the rooms modern?

The suites and villas are; the entry-level 32 m² Deluxe rooms are not. They are clean and functional but small for the price, styled a decade behind the public areas, and 2025 reviewers have flagged visible wear on surfaces and finishes. If room quality matters to you, budget up to a Pool Suite or a villa.

Final Verdict: 8.5 out of 10

Rixos Premium Tekirova is a machine, and I mean that as a compliment. Eleven-plus restaurants, twelve bars, ten slides, a kids’ aquapark, a 30,000 m² children’s complex, padel courts, a hammam, a heated indoor pool, 186,000 m² of pine forest, and a free ticket plus transfer to the biggest theme park in Turkey. For a family looking at seven days of not opening their wallet, the arithmetic is hard to beat anywhere on the Kemer coast.

The deductions are real and specific: entry-level rooms that are too small and too dated for a “Premium” badge, a la carte reservations that require military planning, an hour-plus airport run, and a pebbly beach. None of that stops it being one of the best value-per-facility all-inclusives in the country. Book a Pool Suite or better, book your restaurants on day one, and it comfortably earns 8.5.
