Apartments with Pool and Tennis Court — Altıntaş, Antalya

Altıntaş hasn't made it onto every map yet — and that's precisely the point. This is a neighbourhood growing at its own pace, without the tourist noise, without the crowds queuing at the hotel bar. When one of my clients said after her first visit, "It feels like mine here, not like a holiday" — I knew she'd found exactly where she belonged. Aksu and Altıntaş have that rare balance between open space and real accessibility that's almost impossible to find in established resorts.

The development comprises 700 flats spread across more than 64,000 m². You can choose from one, two or three-bedroom layouts, and for those who need more room — duplexes with four or five rooms. From the two-bedroom options upwards, every bathroom is designed as en-suite. The kitchen can be open-plan or closed off, depending on how you like to cook. Finishes include laminate flooring, ceramic tiles, lacquered doors, a shower cabin, steel entrance door and built-in appliances.

Picture a summer afternoon. You don't need to go anywhere. The development has an indoor and outdoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath, tennis court, basketball court, a gym and a garden with a play area. Six retail units mean you can grab a coffee or pick up essentials without stepping outside the gate. And in the morning, the airport is seven kilometres away — which for anyone using this as a base rather than a bolt-hole is not a footnote. It's the whole argument.

This is a place for someone who wants Antalya without compromise — new construction, its own infrastructure, and a neighbourhood that in a few years will be very firmly on the map. Covered and open parking, CCTV, a backup generator and electric vehicle charging points come as standard, not as a wish list. Altıntaş is a bet on a city that is still deciding what it wants to be.
