At first glance, €109,000 for a 55 m² one-bedroom apartment in Kestel looks bold. A buyer who knows the area will immediately ask: “Why this price?” The short answer is clear: 100 metres to the beach, a near-new building under three years old and a fully furnished, hotel-level interior in a facility-rich complex. In Kestel, that combination is not standard; it is premium and rare.
This third-floor, south–east facing 1+1 apartment sits in a five-storey block in Kestel, in the Hakyüz Life 2 complex. It offers city and partial sea views, full spa and pool facilities, and a décor package deliberately designed to perform on rental platforms. It is not the cheapest way to buy square metres in Alanya. It is a compact, carefully prepared, beachside home for buyers who prioritise location, building age and design over size alone.
The core question deserves a direct answer. Yes, it is possible to find a 2-bedroom apartment in Kestel at a similar budget. Most of those options, however, sit much farther from the sea or inside older buildings with basic facilities. Here, you pay for three things that are hard to find in one package:
Kestel does not offer many projects that tick all three boxes at once. Most seafront or near-seafront stock dates back significantly more than five years, and newer projects often sit several streets back from the coastline. This apartment belongs to the small group of homes where “near-new” and “almost on the beach” genuinely overlap.
Distance to the sea shapes daily life more than any marketing slogan. At roughly 100 metres, you walk down, cross the road and step onto the sand in minutes. Morning swims, evening walks and spontaneous beach days become part of everyday rhythm rather than weekend events.
At the same time, the building age stays under three years. Facades, lifts, mechanical systems and shared areas feel fresh and current. You are not stepping into a 15-year-old block with dated lobbies and tired corridors; you are entering a young complex that still carries the visual and technical advantages of recent construction.
This duality – close-to-sea and young building – is exactly what makes the apartment premium and rare in Kestel. The price reflects that reality.
Square metre comparisons can be misleading without context. It is true that €109,000 can buy a larger 2+1 apartment in Kestel. In many cases, those units will either:
Here, the premium does not come from raw size. It comes from the decision to live (or invest) in a compact apartment that behaves like a boutique hotel suite one street back from the beach, inside a near-new, fully serviced complex. Buyers who focus only on price per square metre will walk past this listing. Buyers who value comfort, convenience and rental performance will understand why it sits in a higher bracket.
The presence of a cash payment discount option underlines the investment story. A buyer paying in full can push the effective purchase price down and improve long-term ROI without sacrificing the advantages of the location and complex.
The interior design answers another key question: “Can I start using or renting this apartment from day one?” Here the response is a confident yes. The entire home follows a modern contemporary line with a soft touch of glam, intentionally neutral and highly photogenic.
Large-format, glossy marble-look porcelain tiles run continuously through the apartment. That choice visually enlarges the 55 m² footprint, reflects light and signals “new, clean, well cared for” from the first step. No patchwork of old and new flooring fragments the space.
The open-plan kitchen anchors one side of the living area. Glossy white cabinets form a bright backdrop, while a black worktop and marble-pattern backsplash build a crisp, confident contrast. This combination feels current and timeless at the same time.
Appliances sit together in a compact, efficient block: built-in oven, hob, extractor and tall fridge. The “kitchen triangle” stays tight, so cooking never feels awkward. Storage capacity and worktop length comfortably cover both short holiday stays and longer periods of living. An electric water heater supports reliable hot water independent of central systems.
This is not a show-only kitchen. It functions well in real life, which is essential for tenants who plan to prepare meals at home and for owners who want the apartment to support longer stays without frustration.
The living room continues the same design language. A grey L-shaped sofa provides generous seating while leaving circulation smooth toward the balcony. A slim, black metal-legged dining table and chairs keep the centre of the room visually light, so the space never feels cramped.
The TV unit stands against a marble-pattern wall panel that mirrors the floor design, creating visual continuity between horizontal and vertical surfaces. Chrome and metal accents on the coffee table and console, paired with a large abstract artwork and a rug framed in black, deliver a subtle “boutique hotel lobby” feel.
Lighting, though slightly classic in the main chandelier, supports the overall elegance. The effect is intentional: calm, polished and ready to photograph. For platform rentals and sales listings, this is exactly the mood that drives higher engagement.
The bedroom softens the contrast of the living space with warmer tones. Powder-coloured curtains, beige wall covering, a padded headboard and satin-look bed linens create a restful palette that suits both holidaymakers and long-term residents.
Mirrored bedside tables, silver lamps and a high-gloss wardrobe support the gentle glam vibe without feeling overpowering. The room feels like a hotel suite carefully prepared for new guests: you walk in, open the suitcase, hang clothes and switch into holiday or remote-work mode with almost no effort.
Full-height glazing with heavy drapes allows you to control morning light easily. Early risers can enjoy soft light slipping in; late sleepers can close the curtains and extend the night. That balance matters more than it appears for comfort during extended stays.
The layout takes the 55 m² available and uses it intelligently. From the entrance, you see both the living area and bedroom access without walking through a dark, narrow corridor. The first impression is open and orderly, which always helps when guests arrive for the first time.
The living room and kitchen form one coherent volume. Furniture placement and a well-sized rug create natural zones for cooking, dining and relaxing, so the space feels structured without the need for extra walls. The bathroom, fitted with modern fixtures and tiles that match the overall style, sits in a central, practical position.
For investors, this means clear navigation, fewer complaints and a layout that even first-time guests understand immediately. For end-users, it means daily routines feel smooth from day one.
The balcony extends the living area and plays a starring role in marketing. Access from the living room makes it easy to turn breakfast, coffee breaks and evening drinks into small rituals. South–east exposure delivers plenty of daylight and a pleasant atmosphere for most of the year.
From the balcony you see the city and a partial sea view, exactly the kind of composition that works well in photos. On booking portals, a single frame showing a table, two chairs and blue water in the background can differentiate this apartment from many inland alternatives.
The balcony has enough room for a compact dining set and a couple of lounge chairs, creating a genuine extra room outdoors. Digital nomads in particular often treat this as an alternate workspace: laptop on the table in the morning, sunset relaxation in the evening.
Facilities are another key piece of the premium story. Hakyüz Life 2 does not stop at a pool and a small gym; it offers a rounded spa and social package that turns a compact apartment into a full holiday base.
Residents benefit from:
Support systems include open car park, generator, lifts, caretaker service, 24/7 camera system, door security, central satellite infrastructure and internet. Together they create a daily environment where owners and guests feel both comfortable and secure.
The presence of a habitation permit (iskan) is another important element, particularly for foreign investors. It confirms that the building already passed key technical and legal checks, which simplifies the path from reservation to title deed.
This apartment does not pretend to be a budget option. It does not compete with older, larger but more distant stock on euro-per-square-metre. Instead, it positions itself clearly as a premium & rare 1-bedroom in Kestel for buyers who want to:
In other words, it targets calm, quality-focused buyers and investors – not those who only chase the lowest ticket price.
From a rental perspective, the apartment is almost plug-and-play. Photos practically shoot themselves: glossy floors, a bold black-and-white kitchen, modern grey sofa, glam bedroom details and a balcony with a hint of the sea. This look attracts clicks and supports higher nightly rates compared with more basic listings.
Neutral styling means broad appeal across different markets: European travellers, guests from Russia and CIS countries, and Turkish holidaymakers can all feel at home here. The “suitcase in, start holiday” feel reduces friction and supports strong reviews, which in turn feed occupancy and yield.
The apartment also fits very well with longer stays. Digital nomads and young professionals often search for quiet, compact, well-designed homes close to the sea and public transport. Here they find a balanced combination of calm environment, fitness and spa facilities, a balcony suitable for work and leisure, and easy access to cafés and the bus route.
Retired couples who want a manageable home near the coast in a tidy, serviced complex also stand within the target group. Lift access, 24/7 camera system, caretaker and complete social infrastructure create a lifestyle where daily needs are simple to handle and most leisure options sit within a few steps.
On the other hand, large families, buyers who insist on multiple bedrooms or those who want maximum interior size above all else will not find the right match here. For them, a bigger but older or more distant apartment may make more sense. This property speaks to a different set of priorities.
Viewed in isolation, €109,000 for a 55 m² one-bedroom may look high. Viewed in context – 100 m to the beach, young building, full spa and pool facilities, hotel-level décor and clear rental logic – it becomes easier to see why this apartment holds a premium position in Kestel. If you prefer quality of location and living experience over chasing extra square metres, it deserves a place on your shortlist.
