Regnum Sky Bar

Lara, Antalya

Regnum Sky Bar occupies the upper floors of the Regnum Carya complex, one of the Lara strip's most architecturally distinguished resort properties. The bar sits on an elevated platform with floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides, giving unobstructed views over the Mediterranean coastline to the south, the Taurus Mountains to the north, and the full sweep of the Lara strip along the coastline. The interior design is polished and deliberately distinct from the resort's main facilities: dark materials, custom lighting, and a layout that creates intimate sections within the larger space. The cocktail menu is the most thoughtful on the Lara strip, drawing on Turkish citrus (Antalya province produces most of Turkey's citrus fruit), local herbs, and premium spirits. The bar serves food through the evening hours.

Insider Tip

The west-facing glass wall produces the best sunset views from mid-May through August. Non-hotel guests should arrive before 9 PM when the bar is at medium capacity; after that, entry for non-guests may be subject to a reservation requirement. The citrus cocktails made with fresh local fruit are the menu's strongest section.

Full Review

Regnum Sky Bar is the Lara strip's best answer to the question of where to go if you want a serious drink in a serious setting. The glass-walled upper floor of the Regnum Carya is positioned above the tree line of the adjacent resort grounds, eliminating the foreground obstruction that limits most Lara rooftop views. On a clear evening in June, the view extends along the full curve of the coast eastward, with the Mediterranean's blue turning to silver as the sun drops behind the Taurus range. The cocktail program uses Antalya province's citrus production intelligently. The orange and grapefruit grown in the valley behind the coast are significantly more fragrant than the commercial varieties available further north, and the bar's seasonal menu reflects this. A citrus sour using local blood orange, a gin and tonic garnished with Antalya lemon, or a mezcal-adjacent cocktail made with locally distilled spirit are all worth the 400 TRY. The space design manages the balance between intimate and open. Curved seating bays create conversational privacy without blocking sightlines. The lighting is warm without being dim. Service is unhurried and knowledgeable. The premium pricing is justified by the totality of the experience: view, cocktail quality, service, and design operating at a level above anything else on the Lara corridor. Non-hotel guests are welcome and treated identically to resort guests during most of the operating window.

The Neighborhood

Within the Regnum Carya resort complex on the Lara strip. The property's grounds include beach access and multiple restaurant options that pair with a Sky Bar visit.
