As more UAE residents plan their summer getaways, Turkey remains a top choice — especially the coastal city of Antalya, known for its mix of luxury resorts, family-friendly attractions, and Mediterranean charm.
Adding to its appeal this year, a new high-end resort called Regnum The Crown is set to open in the beachside area of Belek in summer 2025, bringing a fresh option to the region’s growing lineup of upscale stays.
Regnum The Crown, Antalya
The resort is being developed by the Öztürk Group, known for its award-winning Regnum Carya hotel and golf complex, and aims to cater to a wide variety of travellers — from couples and solo guests to large families.
Guests at Regnum The Crown can expect a wide mix of dining options, with restaurants offering cuisines from Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and South America. A rooftop restaurant adds to the variety, offering scenic views with a more exclusive dining atmosphere.
Adults-Only Rooftop
One of the highlights of the upcoming resort is its Adults-Only Rooftop Experience, featuring a private infinity pool, a rooftop fitness club, and an elevated dining area. The rooftop will also host sunset events and is designed for guests looking for a quieter, more exclusive space.
Family-friendly entertainment and sports
For families, the resort offers several features aimed at keeping children entertained — including kids’ clubs, a themed water park, and daily activities. Teens and young sports enthusiasts can also join football clinics organized in partnership with the Real Madrid Foundation.
The resort also offers a variety of sports facilities, including tennis courts, padel tennis, and football fields built to FIFA standards. Golf lovers can take advantage of the nearby Carya and National Golf Clubs, with options for night golf under full lighting.
Spa and wellness
The 4,500-square-meter spa includes everything from traditional Turkish hammams to Bali-inspired outdoor treatment spaces. All spa services use certified organic products, and there’s also a nature-based wellness retreat called the Amber Lagoon Spa.
Spacious suites and villas
The resort includes 343 suites and 15 private villas, ranging from 110 to 1700 square meters. Designed for comfort and privacy, the accommodations include features like infinity pools, sea or garden views, personal butler service, and in-room check-in.
As interest in eco-conscious travel grows among UAE residents, Regnum The Crown is also taking steps in that direction. The resort includes a solar power plant and is incorporating sustainable tourism practices throughout its operations.
Travel to Turkey from the UAE
For UAE residents planning a trip to Turkey this summer or beyond, Antalya remains one of the top choices thanks to its visa accessibility, direct flight options, and family-friendly beach resorts.
With the opening of Regnum The Crown in Belek, the region continues to expand its hospitality offerings for travellers seeking both luxury and comfort.
