Kumköy, a district of Manavgat in Antalya, takes its name from its golden, fine sandy beaches. With its short distance to the Ancient City of Side (approximately 10 minutes), Kumköy appeals to both history enthusiasts and those seeking a sea-sand-sun holiday. It stands out especially with its modern all-inclusive hotel complexes. An ideal holiday destination for families, couples, and groups of friends, Kumköy is a place where you will create unforgettable memories with its rich facilities.
Kumköy offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit every taste and budget.
Luxury All-Inclusive Hotels: Five-star, all-inclusive hotels, which have become a symbol of the region, stand out with their comprehensive services. Facilities like Voyage Sorgun, Barut Hemera, and Arum Barut Collection offer a complete holiday experience with aqua parks, spa centers, various restaurants, and rich entertainment programs.
Boutique Hotels and Apart-Hotels: For those seeking a quieter atmosphere, personalized service, or home comfort, smaller boutique hotels and apart-hotels are also available. Apart-hotels, offering the possibility to prepare your own meals, provide economical and practical solutions, especially for long stays.
Pensions: For travelers on a more modest budget, local pensions and small hotels offer accommodation in a friendly atmosphere.
Kumköy's namesake beaches are the region's biggest attraction. Here, the clear waters of the Mediterranean and golden sands elevate the holiday experience.
Wide and Fine Sands: Kumköy Beach is famous for its miles of wide, fine, golden sands that glow beautifully in the sun and feel silky underfoot.
Shallow and Clear Sea: The sea remains shallow for a long distance, making it extremely safe for families with small children and non-swimmers. The clarity of the water allows you to easily observe underwater life.
Calm and Peaceful Waters: The sea in Kumköy is generally calm and waveless, which is a great advantage for those who prefer swimming in tranquil waters.
Blue Flag Award: Like many beaches in the region, Kumköy beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag for meeting international standards in cleanliness, environmental management, safety, and services. This award is an indicator of the beach's high quality and reliability.
Although Kumköy itself does not have a direct ancient history, it is surrounded by rich historical and natural beauties.
Ancient City of Side: Just a few kilometers away, Side is virtually an open-air museum with well-preserved Roman-era structures like the theater, Temple of Apollo, Agora, and museum. The captivating atmosphere of the Temple of Apollo at sunset is especially worth seeing.
Manavgat Waterfall: One of the symbols of the region, Manavgat Waterfall offers a visual feast with its lush green surroundings and gushing waters. There are picnic areas and restaurants around it.
Aspendos Ancient Theater: One of the best-preserved Roman theaters in the world, Aspendos is about a 40-minute drive from Kumköy. It is still used today for concerts and performances.
Manavgat River Boat Tours: Boat tours on the Manavgat River offer the opportunity to see the waterfall from the sea, swim in the river, and visit the local market.
The abundance of the Mediterranean is reflected in Kumköy's cuisine. Here you can find both the warmth of traditional Turkish dishes and the fresh, light flavors unique to the Mediterranean.
Local Delicacies: Fresh seafood, various kebabs, pide, lahmacun, and olive oil appetizers are among the region's prominent flavors. You can buy fresh seasonal fruits and traditional desserts from local markets.
Activities: Kumköy offers many activities for those who want to have fun as well as relax:
Water Sports (Parasailing, jet ski, banana, ringo, surfing, and catamaran)
Boat Tours
Safari Tours (Jeep/ATV)
Rafting and Diving
Nightlife and Shopping: Kumköy's nightlife is generally shaped by the animations and shows offered by hotels. For a livelier night, the bars and entertainment venues of Side and Manavgat are nearby. For souvenirs, you can visit local markets in Manavgat or the Side bazaar.
