✔ Sourced & reviewed · updated 20 Sep 2026 · data to 31 Aug 2026TRY 40,000–55,000/m² — Indicative broker range, not an index (S3)
Roughly 7–10 km east of Alanya Center (developer listings vary)
35 km (official); Antalya Airport ≈135 km
Low- to mid-rise complexes; some newer sea-view developments
Kestel is described by developers as a residential coastal neighbourhood rather than a resort: low-rise buildings, less traffic than central Alanya, no noisy entertainment strip, and a beach promenade lined with palms. It is home to Alaaddin Keykubat University (ALKÜ), Alanya's main university, and listings also mention Dim Çayı Natural Park a few kilometres away.
There is no district-level price index for Kestel in the sources we could verify. A 2026 broker survey gives an indicative range of TRY 40,000–55,000/m² and describes the area as quiet with a beach (S3). Because that is a broker range rather than an index, it is shown here as a range only and should not be read as an average or a trend.
Kestel sits between Oba and Mahmutlar on the coast road, so buyers can trade a little distance from the center for lower density. The university presence is a plausible driver of long-term rental demand from staff and students, but no source measures it, so it is a factor to test, not a fact to rely on.

Airport distances differ between sources and routes; check your own route. Official Gazipaşa table (S2) lists Kargıcak 25, Mahmutlar 30, Kestel 35, Alanya 40, Konaklı 55 and Avsallar 65 km.
A 2026 broker survey gives an indicative range of TRY 40,000–55,000/m² (S3). Individual new developments advertise higher entry prices, for example sea-view projects from around €150,000 for two bedrooms in one listing (L1). No official or indexed district price exists in our sources.
We could not find a sourced, dated district-level price index for Kestel, unlike Oba, Mahmutlar, Kargıcak and Konaklı (S1). Publishing an invented percentage would mislead, so this page uses a range with its source and limitations.
Yes. Kestel hosts Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University; developer listings place complexes from roughly 400 m to 2 km from it (L1).
Listings give figures between about 6.5 and 10 km, depending on the address (L1). Kestel is 35 km from Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport by the official table, versus 40 km for Alanya Center (S2).
Developers describe Kestel as calmer, with lower traffic and no noisy entertainment venues (L1). Oba is closer to the center and more built-up.
Listings describe a mix of sandy and pebble stretches with a promenade (L1). Beach quality varies along the coast, so check the specific stretch near your complex.
It is presented as a year-round residential area, with markets, cafes and bakeries plus bus links to Alanya Center (L1). The presence of a university adds off-season activity, though this is not quantified.
Some marketing calls it the most demanded investment centre in Alanya, but that is a broker claim without data. Treat Kestel as a mid-priced residential market and see the investment page for what can and cannot be said.
Oba's indexed average is TRY 64,054/m² (S1); Kestel's indicative range is TRY 40,000–55,000/m² (S3). The methods differ, so the gap is directional, not exact.
Several sea-view and near-university developments are advertised, some under construction (L1). Check the developer's completed projects, permits and payment plan before committing.
Gazipaşa-Alanya, at 35 km, is closest (S2). Antalya Airport is roughly 135 km and has a much larger flight schedule (S5).

Data as of 31 Aug 2026 unless stated; page reviewed 20 Sep 2026. Asking-price figures are advertised prices, not completed-sale prices, and district averages mix very different buildings. Euro figures use roughly TRY 56 per euro (approximate, early September 2026) and are indicative only. Where no sourced figure exists we say so instead of estimating.
