NEW YEAR IN ANTALYA 2026-2027

EU and Bulgarian citizens can enter the Republic of Turkey using either a valid National ID card or an International Passport (with a minimum remaining validity of 6 months from the date of arrival). No tourist visa is required for stays up to 90 days. For travellers under 18 years old travelling with one parent or with an accompanying guardian, a notarised travel authorisation certificate (original and copy) and a certified copy of the birth certificate are mandatory.

The festive New Year's celebration features an exquisite multi-course gourmet dinner showcasing traditional cold and hot Turkish mezes, fresh seasonal salads, a lavish main course, and artisan desserts. Also included is unlimited consumption of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks (local or premium imported brands depending on the resort's concept), accompanied by live music, an international DJ, oriental dance performances, and a midnight countdown raffle.

The direct charter flight from Sofia to Antalya International Airport takes only about 1 hour and 30 minutes. All holiday packages are all-inclusive and cover return airfare, airport taxes, 20 kg checked luggage, cabin hand luggage, comprehensive travel medical insurance, and round-trip direct airport-to-hotel bus transfers.

Antalya boasts an exceptionally mild Mediterranean climate with more than 300 sunny days per year. In late December and early January, daytime temperatures average comfortably between 16°C and 20°C – ideal for leisurely seafront walks, outdoor lunch terraces, and open-air heated pool relaxation. Evenings are cooler (around 9°C – 11°C), making a smart light jacket advisable.

Yes, this is one of the standout highlights of Antalya's winter resorts. Almost all our partner 5-star hotels feature heated indoor swimming pools, while leading flagship resorts in Lara and Belek also provide heated open-air outdoor pools kept at a constant 28°C – 30°C. Guests also enjoy full complimentary access to traditional Turkish hammams, Finnish saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs.

In winter, premier resorts operate an indoor-tailored 24/7 Ultra All Inclusive experience: continuous dining at main buffet and à la carte venues, lobby cocktail lounges serving domestic and imported premium spirits, boutique patisseries offering freshly baked cakes and speciality coffee, supervised indoor mini clubs for children, and live evening shows for adults.

Lara and Kundu are ideal for their rapid transfer times (only 15-20 minutes from the airport) and convenient access to shopping malls and the historic Kaleiçi district. Belek is the pinnacle of luxury, boasting sprawling world-class spa retreats and proximity to The Land of Legends theme park. Side and Kemer appeal to guests looking for serene nature, dramatic mountain backdrops, and scenic Roman ruins.

Booking early secures the highest discounts of up to 40-50% off standard rates, guaranteed room availability at top-rated 5-star resorts with heated outdoor pools, confirmed seats on direct charter flights, inclusion in the festive Gala Dinner seating, and the advantage of flexible installment payment plans with a low deposit at reservation.
