Last-Minute Luxury: The Best Resorts for Spontaneous Booking in High Season

"Spontaneity is the spice of life, but it can be expensive."

You decided to fly to Antalya tomorrow. It's July. Everything looks full or astronomically expensive. Don't panic.

Here is where to look.

1. The "Mega" Resorts

Hotels with 1000+ rooms almost always have cancellations.

• Targets: Rixos Sungate, Nirvana Dolce Vita. Their sheer size means inventory fluctuates daily.

2. The "Business" Hotels

Hotels that cater to conferences often have empty rooms on weekends.

• Targets: Titanic Deluxe Golf Belek, Granada Luxury Belek.

3. The Strategy

Don't trust the online "Sold Out" signs.

• The Move: Call the hotel directly. Ask for "Sales." Tell them you are ready to book now. They often hold a few rooms back for VIPs or emergencies.

Chef's Tip

Be flexible with your room type. You might have to book a "Land View" room for 2 days and then move to a "Sea View." It's a small price to pay for a last-minute escape.
