Municipal courts, clubs and hotel courts: the options for playing in Antalya and how to choose.
Thanks to its climate, Antalya is a city where you can play tennis outdoors for most of the year. Court options generally fall into three groups.
1. Municipal courts
The courts announced by Antalya Metropolitan Municipality are in Konyaaltı Beach Park, Lara Düden Park and Manavgat Türkbeleni. According to the municipality, these courts can be used free of charge and are booked through the municipality’s sports system. Details: free tennis courts in Antalya.
Note: The municipality’s FAQ states that private lessons are not given on these courts. If you’re planning lessons with a coach, agree on the court with your coach.
2. Tennis clubs
Clubs usually work with memberships or hourly rental; many have coaches, ball machines and changing rooms. In the court guide, clubs and private facilities appear only with information they added themselves and that has been approved; it’s best to check membership and rental conditions directly with the club.
3. Hotel and residential complex courts
Many hotels around Belek, Kemer, Lara and Side have tennis courts. Some are open to guests only; others can be rented by outside players. Conditions need to be confirmed directly with the facility.
What to look for when choosing a court
| Criterion | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Surface (clay / hard) | Affects the speed of play and your choice of shoes |
| Lighting | Needed to play in the evening in summer |
| Transport and parking | Makes it easier to play regularly |
| Booking method | Online system, phone or membership |
| Coaching rules | Some courts may not allow lessons with an outside coach |
When to play
In Antalya’s summer months, midday is very hot. Early mornings and evenings are both more comfortable and healthier. Winter and spring are suitable for playing all day.
