The Property — Lonicera World
Lonicera World is a sprawling, all-inclusive resort with a strong family focus. The lobby feels like a busy, air-conditioned terminal to a waterpark – check-in queues, kids in wet swimsuits, and a constant hum of activity. Its USP is the huge outdoor aqua park with slides and a lazy river, plus separate pools for adults and children. This place suits families who want everything on site: buffets, evening shows, and zero need to leave the complex.
Chronicles of Avsallar
Avsallar was a small, quiet fishing village until the tourism boom of the 1990s transformed the coastline. The town’s name comes from a local legend about a young girl named Avsa, and its architecture is a mix of low-rise concrete apartment blocks and sprawling hotel resorts. Modern Avsallar has little historic fabric but functions as a beach resort satellite of Alanya, catering almost entirely to package holidaymakers. Its contemporary identity is sun, sand, and organised fun, with a long promenade and a weekly market that briefly evokes its village past.
Best Time to Visit
Full Avsallar guide →Best months
June and September for reliably hot but not scorching sun (30-33°C) and sea temperatures above 26°C. Fewer school-holiday crowds than July-August.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak. Hotels hit 95%+ occupancy, prices double from spring rates. The Antalya International Film Festival in early July adds some side demand but the main driver is European summer school holidays. Expect loud evenings and queues at slides.
Budget shoulder season
May (low-mid £80s/night) and late September-October (high £70s) offer 25-30°C days, quieter pools, and 30-40% discounts on peak rates. The sea is still warm in October.
Weather & packing
Summer here is dry and cloudless – rain is virtually unheard of from June to September. Pack two swimsuits (one to wear while the other dries) and light, long-sleeved cotton for evening sun protection.
Live City Briefing — Avsallar
- The D400 coastal road between Avsallar and Alanya is undergoing widening works until late 2026, causing 15-20 minute delays for taxis or buses. Allow extra time for airport transfers.
- A new beachfront park and cycle path opened in Avsallar in spring 2026, running 2 km east from the main plaza. Free public Wi-Fi is available along the route.
- Sea turtle nesting season (Caretta caretta) runs from May to October. Some beach sections near the resort have restricted lighting at night to protect nests – likely not affecting hotel pools but worth knowing if you walk the shore after dusk.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Lonicera World, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the ground floor or the first floor for easier access to the pool and lobby. The wheelchair-adapted room is on the ground floor, but it's likely to be quieter and closer to the lobby.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift, especially if you're a light sleeper, as the lift can be noisy. Rooms on higher floors (3-6) might be noisier due to the possible street noise from Gölpınar Cd.
Best views
Unfortunately, with the hotel's location on Gölpınar Cd., the views are likely to be of the surrounding buildings or the road. However, rooms on the higher floors (3-6) might offer a glimpse of the surrounding hills or the Mediterranean Sea.
Quietest floors
The ground floor is likely to be the quietest, as it's closest to the lobby and has the wheelchair-adapted room. The first floor is also a good option, as it's still relatively close to the lobby and pool area.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise from Gölpınar Cd., which can be a busy road. The hotel's location in Avsallar means it's not in the heart of a bustling city, but it's still a main road, which can generate some noise.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a view of the pool or the surrounding gardens, which might be a nice bonus. However, if you're looking for a quieter room, it's better to opt for a room without a pool view. If you have a car, be aware that the on-site parking is first-come, first-served, so it's a good idea to arrive early to secure a spot. There's also a public car park nearby, but it's a 400m walk away.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
