Honest review
Pines, mountains and sea — a rare combination: Paloma Foresta stands in Beldibi, where the Taurus mountains come right down to the Mediterranean. Its 346 rooms hide among stately pines, and the atmosphere is closer to a forest estate than to a noisy coastline.
The format is ultra-luxe all-inclusive, adjusted for calm: there is a dedicated relaxation pool of 200 cubic metres (140–170 cm deep, for guests over 16 only), and the villa has its own 140-cubic-metre pool, reserved for its residents.
An honest caveat — the beach: sandy, but with stretches of fine pebbles. Bring swim shoes and the question is settled.
Sport runs daily, in a range easier not to list in full: beach volleyball, tennis, mini golf, water polo, yoga, Pilates, TRX, Tabata, archery. Logistics: 40 km from Antalya airport, 29 km from the city centre, 18 km from Kemer. Who it is for: families and anyone after a green, quiet Turkey.
