Driver's note: VONRESORT Golden Beach stands on Cumhuriyet Caddesi in Çolaklı, ultra all inclusive, with a private beach, fresh-water pools and an aquapark shared with the neighbouring Vonresort hotels.
Antalya Airport to VONRESORT Golden Beach private transfer
The journey to Çolaklı starts the moment you clear passport control at Antalya Airport. Instead of joining a rank, you walk into the arrivals hall and find a driver holding a board with your name on it, then step into an air-conditioned car with the fare already settled in writing. The route runs east through Belek and Serik and then along the coast road, roughly 65 km that takes 55 to 70 minutes depending on traffic. The last turn brings you into Çolaklı itself, where the hotel address is on Cumhuriyet Caddesi.
Fixing the fare before you fly is what keeps the arrival calm. The figure is agreed on WhatsApp and does not move afterwards: from €55 for a Mercedes Vito with room for six, or €60 for an eight-seat minivan if the party is bigger. No deposit is collected, and the vehicle carries no card machine, so the fare is handed to the driver at the hotel door in EUR, USD or TRY. Cancelling costs nothing as long as it is 4 hours or more ahead of the pickup, and because the service runs 24/7 the quoted figure stands on a dawn landing as readily as on a midday arrival.
VONRESORT Golden Beach sells an ultra all inclusive board and is built around water, so families tend to land with swim bags as well as suitcases. The aquapark shared with the neighbouring Vonresort hotels has slides for adults and a separate set for children, the outdoor pools are fresh water with sunbeds, umbrellas and cabanas, and the beach bars and the pier bar are down by the water. A Mercedes Vito from €55 takes tall cases, a pushchair and a family of up to six without anyone hugging a bag, while a larger party travelling together books the eight-seat minivan from €60.
Whichever gate you come out of, the meeting works the same way. Send your flight number when you book and we watch the aircraft, so a late landing shifts the pickup instead of losing you the car, and you still have 60 minutes of free waiting from touchdown to cover the passport queue and a slow baggage belt. The driver takes the heavy cases to the vehicle rather than leaving you to push a trolley across the car park. After that there is no changeover and no detour to drop other passengers: the next stop is the reception door in Çolaklı.
Going home is arranged in the same message thread at the same figure. Tell us the departure time on WhatsApp and we work backwards through check-in and the 55 to 70 minute drive to set a pickup at the hotel entrance. Plenty of guests add something else while they are on this stretch of coast: the ancient theatre and harbour at Side, the riverside town of Manavgat, or The Land of Legends over at Kadriye. Ask, and each comes back as a written figure for the vehicle before you commit to anything.
Where the driver meets you at Antalya Airport
There is nothing to organise once you land. Collect your luggage, walk through customs and look along the barrier for a board with your name on it; the driver stands there whether you arrive on an international or a domestic flight. Flight tracking means a hold-up in the air is dealt with before you hear about it, and the 60 minutes of free waiting cover whatever the terminal throws at you. Your bags go onto the trolley and into the boot, and the walk to the car park is short. The run out to Çolaklı begins a few minutes after you step through the doors.
Picking the vehicle for a Çolaklı beach week
The board here is ultra all inclusive and the hotel runs a kids' club, a children's buffet and an aquapark, so the luggage usually includes beach kit and pool bags as well as clothes. A Mercedes Vito from €55 carries up to six with the cases stacked properly rather than on laps, and it takes a pushchair or a set of golf clubs without a struggle. When grandparents or another family join the holiday, the eight-seat minivan at €60 keeps everybody together instead of splitting the group across cars. Child seats and boosters cost nothing: give us the ages on WhatsApp and they are in place before the car leaves for the terminal.
Night arrivals and the flight home
Flights into Antalya arrive around the clock, and Çolaklı sits at the far end of a 65 km run, so the night arrivals are the ones worth booking properly. We work 24/7 and add nothing for darkness: the figure quoted is the figure paid, and the driver stays until you appear, however long the desks take. For the flight home the sum is reversed, with the 55 to 70 minute drive and airport check-in built into the pickup so nobody is hurrying at the hotel door. Confirm it by WhatsApp the night before, and the car stands outside reception as you come down.
Good to know for VONRESORT Golden Beach
- Put the flight number in the booking message, so the landing can be followed and the pickup moved if the aircraft runs late.
- Say how old the children are, and free seats or boosters go in before the car sets off for the terminal.
- Take the Mercedes Vito from €55 if you are bringing beach gear or golf clubs, as the load space holds tall bags upright.
- Bring cash for the driver, EUR, USD and TRY all accepted, because nothing is charged up front and the car has no card machine.
- For an early flight, set the return pickup so there are 55 to 70 minutes of driving plus check-in before departure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a taxi from Antalya Airport to VONRESORT Golden Beach?
The fare is fixed for the vehicle and starts from €55 for a Mercedes Vito seating up to six, or €60 for an eight-seat minivan. The figure is put in writing on WhatsApp before you fly, and the return from Çolaklı is charged at the same rate.
How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport to Çolaklı?
Around 65 km and 55 to 70 minutes, east through Belek and Serik and then along the coast road into Çolaklı. High summer traffic can stretch that, but the fare was fixed beforehand, so a slow stretch of road changes nothing about what you pay.
Where do I find the driver after landing at AYT?
In the arrivals hall, at whichever terminal your flight uses, behind a board that carries your name. Come out after baggage reclaim and look along the barrier for it; the driver picks up the cases and leads the way to the car park.
What if the aircraft is late into Antalya?
We follow the flight number you sent on WhatsApp, so the driver comes to match the actual landing rather than the timetable. There are also 60 minutes of free waiting from the moment the wheels touch down, covering passport control and a slow belt at no extra charge. The service runs 24/7, so a very late arrival is still met.
Can you fit child seats, and how many people fit in the car?
Free child seats and boosters go into any vehicle once you tell us the ages. The Mercedes Vito from €55 seats up to six with the luggage, and the minivan from €60 seats up to eight, so a family with a pushchair and a group of friends are equally well served.
How do I settle the fare, and what if the flight moves?
Payment is cash to the driver when you arrive, in EUR, USD or TRY, and no deposit is asked for beforehand. Cancelling is free provided it is 4 hours or more ahead of the pickup, and shifting the time after a schedule change is just a WhatsApp message.
