Maxx Royal Kemer Resort

Character and identity

Set on a private cove between the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean, this seasonal all-suite resort (open April to November) is built into the hillside so pine forest and sea views frame every villa. The Baraka Architects design leans into clean lines and natural materials, and the footprint is vast: three private beaches, eight restaurants including Alfredo Russo's Emerald and the Bronze Steak House, a labyrinthine Maxx Wellbeing spa with reformer Pilates, IV drips and a modern hammam, plus a Maxxiland kids' complex and waterpark. A dedicated Maxx Assistant handles requests around the clock.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The defining feature here is sheer range: eight restaurants, three beaches, a serious spa and a kids' operation that rivals a standalone waterpark, all delivered with attentive concierge service. Book a Maxx Laguna duplex if you're travelling as a family, lean on signature restaurants Emerald and Bronze (worth the supplements), and aim for shoulder months when the heat eases but the resort is still in full swing.
