Rixos Premium Tekirova
Rixos Premium Tekirova is a large beachfront hotel on the Mediterranean coast near Kemer, Turkey, sitting directly on the sea. The grounds include several buildings, pools, open gardens, and a private beach, with room types ranging from standard rooms to standalone villas.
The hotel opened in the 2000s, when the Rixos group began developing Turkish coastal towns with large resort properties. Tekirova was then a quiet coastal spot, and this property was among the first large hotels to be built in the area.
The name Tekirova refers to the small village just next to the property, surrounded by pine forests that come close to the shoreline. Walking through the grounds, you can see how the trees frame the gardens and give the whole place a wooded feel.
The hotel sits about an hour from Antalya Airport, and transfer services can usually be arranged when booking. The property is large enough that wearing comfortable shoes helps when moving between the beach, pools, and rooms.
The hotel sits right on the edge of the Olympos Beydaglari National Park, so pine forest and coastline are side by side just beyond the property fence. Early morning walks on the beach sometimes reveal sea turtles, as this stretch of coast is a known nesting area for them.
