Property in Payallar

Payallar: a quiet coast at Alanya’s western edge

Payallar lies about 25–28 kilometres west of Alanya centre, next to Okurcalar and close to the border with Manavgat. It is one of the calmest areas on the coast: hotels line the sea, while residential streets are surrounded by gardens and pine-covered hills. Payallar’s main advantages are its clean beaches, unhurried pace of life and an easy drive to Antalya airport, just over an hour away. Alanya centre is 30–35 minutes away.

Sea and nature

Payallar’s coastline consists of sand-and-pebble beaches and small, picturesque coves with clear water. Hotel guests come in summer, but the beaches stay spacious. Above the main road begin pine-covered hills and country lanes — a great area for walks and cycling.

Infrastructure

• shops, cafés and restaurants in Payallar itself and neighbouring Okurcalar and Incekum;
• supermarkets, pharmacies and medical centres 5–10 minutes away by car;
• large hospitals and shopping centres in Alanya and Manavgat;
• buses along the Antalya–Alanya road.

Who Payallar suits

• people looking for peace and nature by the sea;
• buyers who fly in through Antalya airport;
• anyone buying an affordable summer apartment;
• investors focused on seasonal rentals.

Rentals

In summer, apartments in Payallar are rented by tourists who prefer a quiet holiday and proximity to Antalya airport. Winter demand is low, so returns here are primarily seasonal.

Prices and investment potential

Payallar is one of the least expensive areas on the Alanya coast. The low entry price makes it attractive for a summer apartment and for investors relying on tourist demand from guests flying into Antalya. At the same time, the area is far from the centre and lives mainly in season, so a resale may take longer than in Mahmutlar or Oba. The properties that hold their value best are apartments in complexes with a pool within walking distance of the sea, and homes with sea views. If liquidity matters to you, compare Payallar options with neighbouring Incekum and Avsallar.

Distances and transport

• the sea — from 100 metres to 1.5 kilometres;
• Incekum Beach and Avsallar — 5–10 minutes by car;
• Alanya centre — about 27 kilometres, 30–35 minutes;
• Antalya airport — about 95 kilometres, roughly 1 hour 10 minutes;
• Manavgat and Side — 25–35 minutes.

Tips for buyers

• ask how the complex runs in winter and how many owners live there permanently;
• if you are counting on holiday lets, check in advance whether a Ministry of Culture and Tourism permit can be obtained for that building;
• it can be noisy near large hotels in summer — look at the property’s neighbours;
• year-round living requires a car: shops and clinics are spread across neighbouring villages;
• compare prices with Avsallar and Incekum — sometimes the same budget buys an apartment closer to better infrastructure.

Pros and cons

• Pros: quiet, clean beaches and nature, affordable prices, the closest Alanya area to Antalya airport.
• Cons: distance from Alanya centre, modest infrastructure, the area quietens down in winter.
