Property in Avsallar

Avsallar: sandy beaches and relaxed living in western Alanya

Avsallar lies about 20 kilometres west of Alanya centre, between Türkler and Incekum. It is known for sandy beaches, pine groves and a holiday atmosphere: hotels line the coast, while residential streets and new complexes sit above the main road. Life here is much calmer than in the centre, and property prices are lower. Alanya centre is about 25 minutes away, and Antalya airport roughly an hour and a half.

Beaches

Avsallar’s greatest asset is its wide beaches of fine golden sand with a gentle slope into the water — ideal for children. Nearby is the famous Incekum beach, where pine forest reaches right down to the sea. The water is clean, and thanks to the sandy seabed it warms up quickly at the start of the season.

Infrastructure

• supermarkets, shops, cafés and restaurants, and a weekly market;
• a school, kindergartens, pharmacies and medical centres; large hospitals in Alanya;
• buses to Alanya, Konakli and towards Manavgat and Antalya;
• beach clubs, water sports and hotel entertainment in season.

What to buy in Avsallar

Avsallar has many new complexes with pools, gyms and green grounds, and its 1+1 and 2+1 apartments are among the most affordable on the Alanya coast. There are also penthouses and duplexes with sea views, and villas on the slopes. Many projects are sold with developer payment plans. The resale market offers inexpensive furnished apartments in complexes built in the 2010s.

Who Avsallar suits

• lovers of sandy beaches and families with young children;
• buyers on a budget who want an apartment near the sea;
• people who spend summers in Turkey and want a resort atmosphere;
• investors focused on seasonal rentals.

Rentals

From May to October, apartments in Avsallar let well to tourists, especially families who choose the area for its sandy beaches. Winter rental demand is lower than in Alanya centre, so for year-round letting choose complexes within walking distance of shops and bus stops.

Prices and investment potential

Avsallar is one of the most affordable coastal areas with sandy beaches. Here you can buy an apartment in a new complex with a pool for the budget that would only stretch to a small resale flat in Alanya centre. The large number of new projects keeps prices in check but calls for careful selection: at resale, apartments near the beach, with sea views and in complexes that are lived in during winter come out ahead. For investors, the main scenario is seasonal letting to families who come for the sandy sea; with the right property and a good management company, the summer months provide most of the annual income.

Distances and transport

• the sea — from 100 metres to 2 kilometres;
• Incekum Beach — 5 minutes by car;
• Alanya centre — about 20 kilometres, roughly 25 minutes;
• Antalya airport — about 105 kilometres, 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes;
• Gazipaşa airport — about 60 kilometres, about an hour.

Tips for buyers

• ask how many apartments in the complex are occupied all year: purely holiday buildings are empty in winter and some services close;
• there are many new projects in the area — choose developers with completed buildings and check the building permit;
• a future building could block the sea view from a hillside apartment — ask what is planned for neighbouring plots;
• if you are buying for holiday lets, find out in advance whether a tourist rental permit can be obtained for that building;
• to live without a car, choose buildings within walking distance of central Avsallar and bus stops.

Pros and cons

• Pros: sandy beaches, affordable prices, new complexes, a holiday atmosphere, closer to Antalya airport.
• Cons: the area quietens down in winter, 25 minutes to Alanya centre, fewer medical facilities and schools than in town.
