Tailor-made

The discerning vacationer wants more than just to wallow on a bath towel. Making unforgettable memories is what it's all about. Maxx Royal provides a tailor-made stay experience and unparalleled services to make your dreams a reality. To ensure that you lack nothing, you will be assigned your personal Maxx assistant. He or she will contact you even before the trip begins and make sure that your vacation matches your profile and meets your expectations and wishes. A reservation for one of the restaurants? The right softness of your pillow? Your favorite room fragrance? The preparations for an event? The desired temperature of your bubble bath? The Maxx Assistant takes care of it all, so you can spend your precious vacation time on the fun stuff. You can also use the services of a butler and a private chef. In addition to all these services and luxury facilities, of course you need to be able to feel at home in a resort. Let Maxx Royal be the expert at that: really every detail has been thought of. The villas are equipped with a veranda, private pool and garden, and even the smallest suites - still 100 square meters! - feature a fitting room, Jacuzzi, balcony and Maxxi Bar. All the comfort and space you need for a top level stay! Privacy is paramount at Maxx Royal. Thus, the Royal Beach Villas at Maxx Royal Kemer Resort are characterized by sea views, a private pool, a garden, two Jacuzzis no less (one on the terrace and one in the master bedroom), a sauna, steam room, direct access to the beach and your own cabana on the silky smooth beach. What more could you want? Say the word, because you get it!

Mediterranean nature

Natural wealth plays an important role at Maxx Royal's resorts, with the predominant colors being turquoise blue, fresh green and snowy white. Look around and your gaze wanders from eucalyptus trees to sand dunes, from mountain ridges to paradisiacal bays. Even the mountain goats imagine themselves in the middle of nature at Maxx Royal: they sometimes stroll quietly between the guests in the afternoon and you can see them thinking "what are you doing in our meadow?". It doesn't get any closer to Mediterranean nature. For ultimate relaxation, knock on the door of Aven Royal Spa, which includes a giant pool, several saunas, a fitness center, Turkish baths, a steam room, a variety of therapy rooms, scrub rooms, rest rooms and tanning beds. All you have to worry about here is which of the thirty massage types you will choose. The sporty beachgoer can indulge in all sorts of challenges on water, from supping to surfing and from parasailing to motorized water sports. Golfers are also fully satisfied here, as Maxx Royal Belek Golf offers access to its own golf course, the Montgomerie Maxx Royal. The 18-hole golf course is home to some of the world's most exclusive tournaments. Always wanted to play golf under the stars? The last nine holes are illuminated with floodlights, allowing you to hit a ball even in the dark with perfect visibility. And if you opt for one of the Albatros Villas at Maxx Royal Belek Golf, with an area of at least 350 square meters, you can dive straight into your private pool or jacuzzi after a long day of golf, because the villa is located on the golf course. There is no lack of entertainment either. Whether you are in Kemer or Belek, Maxx Royal lets you enjoy performances by world-famous artists and shows featuring the best musicians. Every minute of the day there is something going on somewhere.

Italian star chef

There is certainly much to do in the culiniar area. There is so much choice in restaurants at both resorts that you can eat somewhere different every night of your stay. Some of the generous offerings: at Azure 24, as the name suggests, you can enjoy an extensive à la carte menu 24 hours a day; at Azure Court Restaurants Street, in a setting of music and colorful entertainment, you can enjoy Mediterranean cuisine, delicacies from local cuisine and the most exquisite seafood; fine-dining restaurant Bronze Steak House is the mecca for meat lovers; at Azure Japon Restaurant, you are in the right place for sushi and teppanyaki; and at Gastro by Alfredo Russo, dishes on the menu are created by Alfredo Russo himself, with whom Maxx Royal has partnered for both resorts. He has earned his spurs at the renowned starred restaurant Dolce Stil Novo in Turin. The chef combines an extensive knowledge of classic Italian cuisine with the use of contemporary local products to the latest trends. His motto "Elegantly Simple, Simply Elegant" is the basis among his, for example, famous homemade pasta and vegetable dishes with meat and fish. His cooking skills completely match Maxx Royal's look and feel: cosmopolitan, rich and stylish. In addition, both resorts feature a beach restaurant, a children's restaurant and more than ten bars serving the most tropical cocktails and cooling drinks. For lovers of the better sweets, there is an ice cream shop with handmade ice cream and flavors from Mövenpick, patisserie Le Mêlange and a chocolatier, where you can find the tastiest truffles, pralines and local sweets. From traditional dishes from Turkey and Anatolia to exotic flavors from the Far East, at Maxx Royal's resorts you will find a melting pot of cultures, flavors and history on your plate, topped off with a thick layer of luxury. 'Anything can happen at any time and anywhere,' is Maxx Royal's credo.

And what's about to happen in 2022: that's when Maxx Royal will open a third resort, in Bodrum. Here too, by the clear blue of the Aegean Sea, guests will be surprised at a combination of nature, privacy, good food and drink, adventure and ultimate comfort.
