New Resort in Alanya Worth 1.85 Billion TL: 510 Rooms, 1,020 Beds

The new resort investment planned in Alanya, Antalya is preparing to add a new capacity of 1,020 beds to the region's accommodation supply.

The current investment amount for the La Perla Del Mare Resort Hotel project developed by Denisim İnşaat Turizm Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. is announced as 1 billion 849 million 280 thousand 400 TL. The project will be realized on a parcel of approximately 16,901 m² within the borders of the Alanya West Tourism Center.

According to the planning, the facility will have a total of 510 rooms and 1,020 beds.

The room distribution will be as follows:

• 445 standard rooms,

• 59 suite rooms,

• 6 accessible rooms

will be the configuration.

510 rooms alone do not describe the scale of the investment

The project is not solely composed of accommodation blocks.

The EIA document shows that F&B and social areas are quite extensive.

Among the planned units are:

• A main restaurant for 1,200 people,

• two à la carte restaurants for 140 people each,

• one à la carte restaurant for 120 people,

• A café for 70 people,

• An outdoor dining area for 600 people,

• three pool bars,

• A disco for 100 people,

• A multi-purpose hall,

• three meeting rooms,

• A cinema,

• Outdoor and indoor swimming pools,

• Two Turkish baths,

• Two saunas,

• Steam rooms,

• A salt room,

• 13 massage units,

• Sports areas and a water park

are included.

This list more clearly shows the operational scale of the investment.

A 510-room resort will not be just a facility that sells "room sales"; it will also require high-volume food and beverage, events, spa, and entertainment operations.

A main restaurant for 1,200 people means serious F&B capacity

The hotel's plan for a main restaurant for 1,200 people is one of the most important details to pay attention to on the HORECA side.

Such a capacity:

requires serious infrastructure in terms of high-volume hot production,
cold kitchen,
bakery,
dishes,
cold storage,
dry store,
buffet equipment
and service logistics.

With a room capacity of 1,020, planning a main restaurant for 1,200 people suggests that the facility is designed to meet a large service volume simultaneously during high occupancy periods.

However, since the actual seating plan, service model, and meal-plan structure have not been disclosed, this should not be finalized as a one-to-one operational model.

The resort investment could create a large volume on the supply side

A large-scale hotel project is not just a construction investment.

During the transition to operation:

kitchen equipment,
cooling systems,
laundry,
housekeeping equipment,
furniture,
textiles,
OS&E,
spa equipment,
POS and PMS,
food and beverage supply

will create a need for purchasing in many HORECA categories.

Especially for a 510-room resort, the pre-opening procurement process could cover hundreds of items.

Therefore, the project has the potential to create a supply economy much broader than the tourism capacity in the region.

Construction is planned to be completed in approximately five years

According to sources conveying the EIA document, the construction period is stated to be planned for approximately 60 months, or five years.

This duration means that the investment will not immediately bring new capacity to the market.

Presenting the EIA or planning phase in tourism investment news as "the hotel is opening" can be misleading.

There are still many stages ahead:

financing,
construction,
equipment procurement,
recruitment,
pre-opening,
testing and commissioning

that need to be completed.

Therefore, the impact of 1,020 beds on the Alanya market should be evaluated in terms of medium-term capacity planning rather than short-term effects.

Employment of 300 people is anticipated during the operational period

According to sources conveying the EIA information, it is stated that approximately 100 people are planned to be employed during the construction phase and 300 people during the operational period.

This figure is not yet realized employment.

However, the projection of 300 people for a 510-room resort is noteworthy in terms of workforce planning.

This roughly corresponds to a level of 0.59 employees per room.

The actual number may vary depending on whether the operation is:

all-inclusive or not,
F&B service intensity,
outsourcing rate,
length of the season
and level of automation.

One of the most critical areas before opening will be human resources

One of the common problems of large resort investments in the Alanya and Antalya coastal strip is the supply of qualified employees.

When a new facility opens, it does not only increase room capacity.

Among the hotels in the same market:

chefs,
service staff,
bar staff,
housekeeping,
technical personnel,
spa staff
and middle management

competition can also increase.

Therefore, hiring 300 people may not only create new employment; it could also accelerate the transition of employees from existing facilities.

From the investor's perspective, training and employee engagement programs during the pre-opening period may become as critical as the physical investment.

The investment amount has increased compared to the initial announcement

Local sources report that the project was announced at around 1.35 billion TL by the end of 2025, while the current investment amount has risen to approximately 1.849 billion TL.

The difference is approximately 499 million TL.

The details of which items this increase stems from are not explained in detail in publicly available sources.

Therefore, it would not be correct to attribute the rise solely to construction inflation.

However, it is known that in large-scale hotel investments:

construction,
mechanical-electrical systems,
energy infrastructure,
imported equipment
and fit-out

costs can significantly affect the investment budget.

What does the new bed supply mean for Alanya?

The new 1,020 beds may not be transformative on their own within the region's total capacity.

However, the significance of the investment should not be measured solely by the number of beds.

The new facility:

could create a second demand on the regional economy through contracts with international tour operators,
new employee demand,
local food supply,
transfers and transportation,
technical maintenance,
laundry and other services.

Especially in the resort format, much of this effect is seen in F&B and the supply chain.

Large capacity also means large energy and water needs

The economic aspect of new hotel investments must be evaluated alongside resource consumption.

510 rooms, large pools, a water park, a spa, and high-capacity restaurant operations:

will increase the demand for water,
hot water,
cooling,
HVAC,
laundry
and electricity.

Therefore, energy and water efficiency will be critical in the long-term operating costs of the facility from the initial design phase.

The importance of the EIA process also emerges here.

The environmental impact of a large resort investment must be evaluated not only during the construction period but also over decades of operation.

Stafflink’s Opinion

In our opinion, the main figure to pay attention to in the La Perla Del Mare investment is not 1.85 billion TL; it is the much larger operational system that will be established behind the 510 rooms.

Considering the 1,200-person restaurant, numerous bars, spa, pools, and entertainment areas, this project means a new HORECA operation rather than just new bed capacity.

Success in such investments is not only dependent on the timely completion of the building.

Finding the right employees during the pre-opening period, standardizing equipment systems, establishing the purchasing network, and managing high-volume F&B operations at sustainable costs are as important as construction.

The real economic impact for Alanya will be measured not by how many beds the hotel adds, but by how much employment, supply, and year-round trade this 1,020 beds creates.
