Beyond Luxury: A Home Away From Home at Bayou Villas
For a half-century, Barut Hotels has represented the excitement and beauty of a Mediterranean holiday worldwide with quality, courtesy, and creativity. In October 2022, the Lara Barut Collection proudly launched its newest and most luxurious offer, the Bayou Villas. Open year-round and combining world-class facilities with ultra-modern design, the Bayou Villas provide a high degree of privacy for discerning travelers and their families. Located on the scenic coast of Antalya, Türkiye, with direct access to the Mediterranean Sea, these 24 private villas are designed to provide chic seclusion while offering all-inclusive access to all the amenities of the adjoining resort.
The contemporary villas, ranging from one to four bedrooms – 250 square meters to 1,000 square meters, respectively – boast well-appointed living rooms, 65-inch smart TVs, Bang & Olufsen Bluetooth sound systems, and fully-equipped kitchens. Each villa has a private seawater pool and a terrace with access to a shared swim-up freshwater pool. Further attention to detail is found across the villa – Bulgari toiletries, Marvis toothpaste, cozy slippers, fully stocked mini-fridges in every room, plus a kitchen with laundry facilities — basically, all the comforts of home. The on-site concierge team, available 24 hours a day, is proactive, WhatsApping and responding immediately to any guest request politely and professionally without visitors downloading additional applications.
If booking, consider opting for one of the resort’s larger villas for the ultimate in-home comforts. Spanning a maximum of 983m² of indoor and outdoor space, these villas boast a personal gym, massage room, billiards table, Jacuzzi, sauna, bath, and steam room. For the musically inclined, the four-bedroom villas also come with a piano, and, in case guests need privacy to take a meeting or work on-site, there is a dedicated office.
Guests staying within the Bayou Villas enjoy exclusive access to The Weik á la carte restaurant and cocktail bar at the Bayou Lounge, where guests can enjoy cocktails, various high-quality domestic and imported drinks, and a rich wine menu. In villa dining is also available around the clock, and the fridges are often restocked. For guests who want to venture further afield via an easy walk or buggy, the connected Lara Barut Collection resort offers ten restaurants during peak season – nine á la carte options and one buffet – eight swimming pools, a gym, a spa, tennis, and squash courts, and an on-site aqua park. As one might expect, the beach pavilion is allocated exclusively for villa guests, such that guests can come and go at their leisure.

In addition to the numerous activities available across the resort, the property holds an annual Contemporary Young Artists Meeting every October. Having started with young artists in Türkiye in 2019, this unique event is planned to be held internationally with the participation of artists from all over the world in the upcoming years. At the end of the week, with a collection of more than 100 works of art, the art is presented to the hotel visitors at the exhibition, which forms an integral part of the workshop.
For those interested in sustainable efforts by the brand, the Lara Barut Collection has already satisfied the criteria for sustainable management and contribution to social, cultural, and environmental life, which had to be completed by 2030 as per the agreement signed between the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey and GSTC. Fully powered by green energy to reduce its carbon footprint and promote renewable energy, Lara Barut Collection is the first hotel in the Mediterranean region to obtain the Green Energy Certificate – together with Acanthus Cennet Barut Collection, affiliated to the same group.
For privacy and luxury, look no further than Bayou Villas.
Established in 1971, Barut Hotels is one of the most well-known hospitality brands in Türkiye.
