First Impressions & Resort Layout
The moment you pass through the grand entrance gates, you’re met with lush landscaping, vibrant greenery, and a sense of space and calm.
Spread across three distinct sections-Garden, Lagoon, and Main House, each area offers its own atmosphere, with the Lagoon area standing out for its peaceful, exclusive vibe. It even has its own swim up bar, perfect for those looking to unwind in serene luxury.

Lagoon Penthouse Suite
Our stay in the Lagoon Penthouse Suite was pure indulgence. Think private jacuzzi on the balcony, a Turkish sauna, and stylish interiors that exude modern elegance. This area of the resort feels secluded yet completely connected to everything you need.
With 12 room types-from garden view doubles to luxurious penthouses, Lara Barut caters to every traveller, including larger families and honeymooners alike.

Lara Barut is a haven for food lovers. The main buffet offers themed evenings with live cooking stations, exceptional variety ,fresh salads, divine breads and a dessert section that is excellent. There are dedicated sections for vegan, gluten free, and allergy conscious guests. There are family, adult only, and device free dining zones to suit every mood.
The Patisserie deserves a special mention-daily affogatos and pistachio éclairs became a daily ritual!

The resort features nine à la carte restaurants, serving everything from Mediterranean to Far Eastern cuisines. Dining reservations are made via the resort app, ensuring a seamless experience.
Throughout the resort, premium spirits are available at all bars, and the roller skating drink service at the sunbeds is a delight-cocktails delivered in minutes with a smile.

Beach Bliss
The private beach is pristine, with ample sunbeds, cabanas, and even a jetty for diving into the sea. The beach bar is a perfect evening hangout, with live music and sunset views. Accessibility is a priority, too, with buggies and sand friendly wheelchairs available.

Evenings are vibrant, with Cirque du Soleil style shows, live bands, and an unforgettable garden party with lasers, DJs, and dancers.
The spa is a sanctuary of peace. Guests enjoy access to a steam room, sauna, and indoor pool. A Thai massage experience realigned my back in the best way possible!

Sustainability & Animal Welfare
Sustainability is clearly a priority with recycling bins throughout the grounds. But the heart-stealer? The Cat’s House a small on site sanctuary caring for local strays. Vaccinated, neutered, and loved, these cats are part of the Barut family. We also noticed turtle conservation signage and animal water stations for birds and wildlife.
