The Property — Istanbul Beach
Istanbul Beach is a four-star all-inclusive resort on a long private beach just west of Kemer. The lobby feels like a bright, airy Turkish seaside lounge with marble floors, potted palms, and wide windows framing the Mediterranean. It suits families and couples who want a straightforward beach holiday with decent food, multiple pools, and evening entertainment, but without any pretence of boutique style.
Chronicles of Kemer
Kemer was a small fishing village until the 1980s, when Turkey’s Tourism Bank turned it into a planned resort destination with a marina, hotels, and pine-backed beaches. Ancient Olympos and Phaselis lie nearby, remnants of Lycian and Roman coastal settlements, while the city’s modern identity is wholly touristic: a long promenade, yacht harbour, and all-inclusive hotels. Its mountain backdrop, the Beydağları range, gives it a dramatic setting that inland resorts lack. Today Kemer is a middle-market favourite with British, German, and Russian package tourists, known for its clear water and relaxed nightlife.
Best Time to Visit
Full Kemer guide →Best months
June and September offer 30°C highs, calm sea, and long daylight without July–August peak crowds. May is also good for hiking the nearby Olympos trail before the heat builds.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the hottest and busiest, with temperatures often above 35°C. Hotel prices double from June; the Kemer Festival (usually late July) adds demand for live music and street events.
Budget shoulder season
May and October are the shoulder months: May still has 25°C warmth and lower prices (30–50% off peak); October cools to 24°C but sea stays swimmable. Crowds thin from mid-September onwards.
Weather & packing
Kemer’s climate is Mediterranean but with a curious twist: summer nights can drop sharply due to sea breezes, so a light jacket is useful after sunset. Pack reef-safe sunscreen (the beach is part of a protected bay) and water shoes for pebbly stretches.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Istanbul Beach, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 to 5 facing the garden side (away from Yellise Caddesi). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but low enough for quick lift access.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms ending in 01 or 02 (often nearest the lift shaft) and any rooms on the 1st floor above the lobby or restaurant — they pick up kitchen noise from 7am onwards.
Best views
Garden-side rooms (south or west orientation) overlook the pool and greenery. Street-side rooms get a partial sea glimpse at the cost of road noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 through 5 are quietest — above the public areas but below rooftop machinery if present.
🔊 Noise notes
Yellise Caddesi carries local traffic and occasional tour buses. The bar at ground level can be audible until midnight on summer weekends. Lift doors ding audibly on all floors but especially near the shaft.
Insider tips
Park free in the hotel’s underground car park but book a space at check-in — it fills by noon. For quietest sleep, request a room with a balcony door that seals properly; some rooms have ill-fitting doors that amplify street noise.
- 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
