Opened in 2009, the exclusive hotel Mardan Palace sets the tone for top-class luxury accommodation on the Turkish Riviera. It is located on a private beach in the renowned destination of Lara, just a short drive away from the centre of Antalya and the international airport. Playground of the rich, famous and powerful, the hotel boasts an impressive architecture and interior design in the style of an ancient palace, conjuring up the opulence of days past. The elegant rooms have views over the Taurus Mountains, the Da Vinci Bridge spanning the spectacularly landscaped, largest pool of the Mediterranean or partial sea views and are equipped with Hermès toiletries. For added convenience, features of the hotel include a 24-hour butler service, an eclectic selection of gourmet restaurants and bars, unrivalled spa and sports facilities as well as unparalleled service. Simply the perfect place for guests demanding nothing less than ultimate luxury.

Where to start. From the second we walked in we were greeted so warmly. Given a glass of Prosecco each while sorting check in. We were then taken to our room with a huge balcony over looking the pool. One of our main concerns was the temperature of the pool. A few times we’ve been to other resorts and the pool has been freezing but at Mardan they are tepid. Maybe slightly cool once you get in but acclimate within seconds and is a welcome escape from the hot sun! The food is incredible. I am usually veggie when I go on holiday as I’m weird with meat but I’ve eaten chicken, steak, veal and sucuk while we’ve been here as the food is just perfect. Italian à la carte was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Everything fresh, tasty and cooked to perfection. All staff are so polite and helpful and we have made a new friend in Yakup, one of the pool waiters. Leon from the spa is lovely too and even though we’ve had a lovely massage, will still make the effort to wish us a good morning and ask how we are. All alcohol is branded from Smirnoff to Grey Goose vodka. Lagavulin, Tanqueray, Bombay Sapphire. Top shelf brandys too that you can order through and app from your sun lounger. Delivered within minutes from a waiter / waitress on roller skates. The whole place is spotlessly clean and the staff work tirelessly to ensure it remains so. The lady in the arcade bar (I forget her name) will always come over and say hello and greeted me with a big hug this evening and even joined us on the next lane for a game of bowling and a chat. All arcade games are free including bowling, pool, air hockey, sit on racing games, basketball hoops and whack a mole. We really have enjoyed our stay and don’t want to go home but duty calls! Thank you Mardan, we are already planning our next trip! Çok teşekkür ederim arkadaşlar xxx
Last day here had a wonderful stay. The staff can’t do enough for you, all friendly and helpful. Yes there are updates needed if you look around but didn’t deter from my stay. In particular, I would like to say a special thank you to Murat Yuksel, and Yagmur for their kind assistance. We also had a lovely evening in the Turkish A La Carte, well worth a visit.
Had a holiday here with family, very good hotel, very good hospitality. Had a feeling like living in a castle, really great holiday. Especially I'd like to thank for the overall room cleanness, diversity at the bars and food amount. Especially thanks for bartender Volkan Serbest at Iskele (pier) bar, he make an astonishing cocktails and see holiday is much better with them!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude, with special thanks to Umut Albasli, Doğan, usama, Mohamed Bey, Mr. Amir, and Monika. They were extremely helpful and cooperative. The hotel was outstanding and luxurious.
Please read if you’re a couple!! We visited Mardan Palace last year, just getting round to writing a review. Hotel and food is absolutely beautiful! Italian place on the beach is gorgeous and drinks are great. However, that’s as far as it goes. We were so unbelievably bored from getting up to going to sleep. Absolutely nothing round the hotel, no daytime entertainment and awful nighttime entertainment unfortunately. Really not the place for young couples, especially in Sept/Oct.
