APA Mountain Lodge

APA Mountain Lodge Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to APA Mountain Lodge, I’ll be honest — the name had me expecting something rustic and woodsy. What I found instead was this sleek, modern five-star property tucked away in the Çağlarca neighborhood that feels worlds apart from the bustling tourist strips of Antalya. The free private parking was a relief (you know how tricky parking can get in Turkish resort areas), and the staff greeted me like I was checking into a friend’s upscale mountain retreat rather than a commercial hotel.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re still technically in Antalya, but you feel like you’ve escaped to somewhere more intimate and sophisticated. The Çağlarca area has this quiet, residential vibe that couples absolutely adore (apparently they rate the location 8.3, which honestly doesn’t surprise me). You’re close enough to reach the main attractions when you want them, but far enough away that you can actually hear yourself think. I spent evenings walking the nearby streets and felt like I’d discovered a secret corner of the Turkish Riviera that most tourists never see.

Luxury Done Right

The room itself strikes this perfect balance between mountain lodge charm and five-star luxury — think clean lines, premium materials, and those little touches that make you feel pampered without being over-the-top about it. The attention to detail is what sets this place apart from other high-end properties in the region. Everything from the linens to the bathroom fixtures feels carefully chosen, and there’s this sense of understated elegance that I really appreciate. You get the luxury experience without feeling like you’re staying in some flashy resort that’s trying too hard.

Morning Fuel

Breakfast here is actually something to look forward to — they’ve got this continental spread that covers all the bases, plus vegetarian and halal options that feel thoughtfully prepared rather than like afterthoughts. The breakfast-to-go option is brilliant if you’re planning early morning adventures (which, let’s face it, you probably should be in this part of Turkey). I found myself lingering over coffee longer than usual, partly because the breakfast restaurant has this relaxed atmosphere that doesn’t rush you out the door.

Why Guests Love It

What really makes APA Mountain Lodge work is how it manages to feel both exclusive and welcoming at the same time. Recent guests have been rating the location 8.6, and I get it — there’s something special about finding a five-star property that doesn’t feel like every other luxury hotel. The combination of sophisticated accommodations, genuine hospitality, and that perfectly positioned neighborhood creates an experience that feels more like staying at an elegant private residence than a commercial hotel. If you’re looking for luxury that doesn’t announce itself with neon signs and crowded lobbies, this is your spot.

The luxury concierge service in Antalya arranges chef-led meze tastings, tee times on championship courses, and VIP lounge access at Antalya Airport.

• Tatapuh from Russia – 15 September 2024 (8/10)

  The view is really awesome.
  Perfect if you want to hide from the noise of a big city.
  
  What could be improved: A lot of options from the menu were missing.
  Very far away from markets.
  In a half hour by car from Antalya.

• Abigail from United Kingdom – 13 September 2024 (9/10)

  The views are absolutely stunning and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Would recommend.
  
  What could be improved: It is quite difficult to find just needs some more signs and some tea and coffee for the room with tea cups. But would still give it a 10/10 as the staff were lovely and anything you need just ask.

• J from Netherlands – 1 September 2024 (9/10)

  Great views, spacious rooms and friendly staff. At the day of arrival we got a whatsapp message with the exact location. Very helpful, because otherwise without this it might be difficult to find.
  Dinnen could be ordered upon arrival. This was very plesant, there are no other restaurants around.
  
  What could be improved: All was good. Like other comments, only go when you have a car. Don’t have any fear of driving narrow mountainroads

• Bekdaulet from Kazakhstan – 8 August 2024 (9/10)

  The view is wonderful. Very beautiful garden. The houses are neat and clean. Staff are wonderful. Omer bey and Husein made our stay nice and comfortable. Very delicious dinner and breakfast.
  
  What could be improved: Cats and dogs wandering around in the garden. Cats in the dining place. But we were offered to eat in the terrace upstairs where cats do not come, which made our stay more comfortable than it might be.

• Elena from Russia – 30 July 2024 (9/10)

  The staff is very helpful and nice.
  Perfect place to watch the sunrise.

• Karina from Russia – 27 June 2024 (9/10)

  The views were lovely! Very few people stayed when we were there, so it felt very private and calm. The staff was nice, we enjoyed our breakfasts, dishes from the menu were overall good. The area is very well taken care of, our bungaloo was very clean and cozy. Oh, an I loved the pool!
  
  What could be improved: The food from the menu is quite pricy, no shops or other restaurants in the area. Although I really liked the place, I would not grade it as a 5 star hotel, rather a 4 star.

• Sully from United Kingdom – 4 March 2024 (9/10)

  The location of this hotel in the mountains meant that the vista was superb overlooking Antalya. The host made us feel very welcome and although there was a language barrier (our fault), he went out of his way to ensure that we had everything we needed, even though we appeared to be the only guests.
  Dinner was available and freshly prepared; very nice. The breakfast was lovely, in the small conservatory which overlooked the mountains; a very pleasant way to start the day.
  
  What could be improved: We couldn't get the sauna to work, but this didn't bother us and we didn't ask for any help. As a suggestion, some instructions in the lodge might be useful. Not a negative, just a suggestion to enhance the experience.

• Elsabawi from Canada – 28 December 2023 (9/10)

  The view is amazing
  
  What could be improved: The food wasn't the best and there are dogs in the hotel
