Property in Antalya
A district-by-district guide to the Antalya property market in 2026. Price per m², rental yield estimates, off-plan availability, beach access, and which area suits each buyer type — from holiday investors to permanent residents.
Quick Answer
Which Antalya district is best for buying property?
Konyaaltı and Lara are the most popular districts for foreign buyers, offering a combination of beach access, strong rental yields, and long-term capital growth potential. Alanya (within Antalya province) is the best for budget buyers wanting high short-term rental returns. Kaş is the luxury boutique choice.

Area by buyer purpose
Holiday investment (short-term rental)
Highest short-term rental yields driven by tourist demand. Konyaaltı and Alanya have the best combination of beach proximity and off-plan availability.
Permanent home (year-round living)
City infrastructure, good private hospitals, international schools, and airport access. Lara and Konyaaltı have the beach without sacrificing services.
Retirement
Affordable, beach-accessible, established expat communities. Alanya is particularly popular with Scandinavian retirees due to its lower costs.
Capital growth potential
Konyaaltı and Lara have limited new beachfront land — scarcity drives appreciation. Kaş is boutique and relatively undersupplied.
Budget purchase (entry price)
Alanya offers the best combination of low entry price and rental yield. Kepez and Döşemealtı are purely budget with no rental market.
Citizenship by investment
Active off-plan market with BDDK-appraised projects regularly at or near the $400k USD threshold. Developers familiar with citizenship documentation.
Off-plan buying guide
Stage payments
Typical off-plan payment structures in Antalya are 30% deposit, 40% during construction, 30% on completion.
Completion timeline
Most Antalya off-plan projects complete in 18–36 months. Ask for the tapu (title deed) handover date in writing.
Developer vetting
Check the developer's completed project history. Ask to visit previous projects. Verify VAT registration and construction licence (inşaat ruhsatı).
Appreciation during build
Properties in Konyaaltı and Alanya have historically appreciated 15–30% from off-plan price to completion, rewarding early buyers.
Currency risk
Most Antalya off-plan prices are quoted in EUR. If paying from GBP or USD, hedge your exposure — exchange rate moves during a 2-year build can be significant.
