Driver's note: Kimera Lounge Hotel stands on the Çıralı Sahil Yolu in Ulupınar Mahallesi, its rooms and garden houses set among citrus trees, with the Arya Spa and the farm-fed Erizo restaurant.
Antalya Airport to Kimera Lounge Hotel private transfer
At Antalya Airport the meeting happens indoors: a name board held up in arrivals, and somebody to take the heavier cases off you. Çıralı lies south-west of the terminal: the car skirts Antalya, keeps to the coast road past Kemer, then takes the inland turn at Ulupınar before the ground falls away again towards the sea. That is 90 km of road and 85-105 min of driving, far enough that the vehicle and the fare are both worth settling before you fly. The last bends are the Çıralı Sahil Yolu, the road named in the hotel's own address, and they finish at the Kimera entrance.
The price is agreed on WhatsApp before you fly, in writing, and it belongs to the car rather than to each passenger in it: from €80 in a Mercedes Vito that seats up to six, €85 in an eight-seat minivan. Fixing it in advance is what makes the slow parts harmless, whether that is a line of lorries through Kemer, a resurfaced stretch of coast or a plane that lands long after dark. Nothing is charged at the booking stage and there is no card reader in the vehicle, so the fare is handed over in cash, EUR, USD or TRY, once the last case is out at the hotel. Plans that fall apart cost nothing either, provided we hear 4 hours before the pickup.
Over a road of 90 km the choice of vehicle stops being a detail. The Vito at €80 takes six people and their luggage, which counts for something here: the hotel's own activities page lists hiking on the Lycian Way and to the Yanartaş flames, so boots and daypacks travel alongside the suitcases rather than instead of them. Eight people and their cases go in the minivan at €85, so nobody follows on behind in a second car. Free child seats run from infant to booster; send the ages with the booking and they are fitted at our end rather than at the kerb.
Kimera is a garden with rooms in it rather than a single building. The hotel's own site puts the Kumquat Room near the entrance and sets the bungalows and suites deeper in, while the Akdeniz Bahçesi houses stand apart again, each with a veranda, a living area and an open-plan kitchen. Arya Spa is in the same garden, with a tepidarium, hammam, steam and sauna, taken by appointment. Mornings are à la carte at Olives, steps from the entrance, and dinner at Erizo is built on Huysuz Çoban, the hotel's own farm nearby; operator listings add an outdoor pool, a children's pool and a play area, with the sand a short walk away.
Going back is the same conversation on WhatsApp. Give us the departure and the time you want at check-in, and the car is at the entrance early enough to cover the drive, at the fare you were quoted coming in. Messages are answered 24/7, so leaving Çıralı before first light is ordinary work here and costs no more than leaving at noon. Days out are quoted the same way before you commit, whether that is the Yanartaş flames, a stretch of the Lycian Way, or the coast road back towards Kemer.
What happens when you land
Nothing needs organising once you are on the ground. Collect the bags, come out into the arrivals hall, and your name is on one of the boards being held up there; the driver is already standing in the hall of the terminal your flight comes into. The first 60 minutes from touchdown are free waiting, which normally swallows passport control and the belt with room to spare, and a slower day than that costs nothing either. Your cases are lifted for you, the car is a short walk away, and the road to Çıralı starts from there.
Vito or minivan for the Çıralı road
Nothing smaller than a Mercedes Vito is sent to this address: at €80 it seats six, with the luggage behind them. The fare attaches to the car and not to the heads inside it, so two people pay what six would, and the extra bag that a week between mountains and sea somehow attracts has somewhere to go. When the party reaches eight, the minivan at €85 keeps everybody and everything together for the whole 90 km instead of dividing them. Which of the two comes is decided at the booking stage, from the number travelling and the number of cases you send.
Late landings and pre-dawn flights home
Aircraft reach Antalya at every hour and the quoted figure does not notice: the line runs 24/7 and night work carries no surcharge. This route rewards a little planning after dark, because the final turn leaves the highway for a village road, and the hotel's rooms and houses stand apart from each other in the grounds, so being driven to the entrance beats reading signs by torchlight. A changed flight is sorted out by message, and if the trip falls through altogether there is free cancellation up to 4 hours before pickup. For the flight home the car comes to the entrance itself, which is the part that counts when the garden is dark.
Good to know for Kimera Lounge Hotel
- Send the flight number with the booking, so a delayed aircraft is seen before the driver sets out.
- Say how old any children travelling are, so the seats that fit them are in the vehicle when it reaches you.
- Have cash ready for the end of the run, EUR, USD or TRY, because the fare is settled at the hotel and not before.
- Send the departure time the evening before, so the drive back and your check-in can both be allowed for.
- Ask at reception which part of the garden your room is in: the Kumquat Room is by the entrance, the suites and the houses are set well back.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a transfer from Antalya Airport to Kimera Lounge Hotel cost?
€80 for a Mercedes Vito with room for six, €85 for the eight-seat minivan. Both figures are for the whole vehicle and are confirmed in writing before you travel, the same fare applies in the other direction, and neither a full boot nor a night landing changes them.
How far is Kimera Lounge Hotel from Antalya Airport?
90 km by road, and 85-105 min of driving: south-west past Antalya, along the Kemer coast, inland at Ulupınar, then down the Çıralı Sahil Yolu to the hotel. A slow coast road lengthens the journey and leaves the fare exactly where it was.
Where do I find the driver after I land?
In the arrivals hall, as soon as you are through with the luggage, behind a board bearing your name. He takes the heavy bags out to the car, and you are driven to the Kimera Lounge entrance without stopping for anybody else.
What if my flight lands late?
The flight number you send is checked against the day's arrivals, so the driver sets out for the aircraft that actually lands rather than for the printed time. Free waiting of 60 minutes runs from touchdown to cover passport control and a slow belt, and a flight cancelled outright means free cancellation up to 4 hours before the booked pickup.
Can the drive be broken for young children?
Yes. Ask in the car and the driver stops where it is safe to do so, for legs to be stretched or a drink to be bought, as often as the children need it. Child seats of any size are included, and a stop does not move the fixed fare.
How is the fare paid, and can the return be booked too?
In cash, at the hotel, when the bags are out: EUR, USD or TRY, with nothing taken up front and no card machine on board. The return is arranged in the same WhatsApp conversation at the same fixed figure, and since bookings are taken at any hour of the day or night, an early start from the entrance is no harder than any other.
