Balmy Foresta Kemer, formerly Paloma Foresta, as a wedding venue
Balmy Foresta is a five-star, ultra all-inclusive family resort on the coast at Beldibi, Kemer, south-west of Antalya. It was previously known as Paloma Foresta, and before that as the Renaissance Antalya Beach Resort. Here are the key facts couples ask about first.
Why couples choose it
A forest and beach wedding in Kemer
Balmy Foresta stands in Beldibi, on the Kemer coast south-west of Antalya, where the pine forest and the Taurus mountains run down almost to the sea. The resort was known as Paloma Foresta until it became Balmy Foresta, and it was partly renovated in the winter of 2024 to 2025.
For a wedding, the 770 m² ballroom is listed for about 600 guests at a banquet, and the resort has twelve event spaces in all, including smaller ballrooms and the Foresta Club. Its 2025 fact sheet lists weddings among its services. Outdoors, the Blue Flag beach and the piers give you a setting by the sea for portraits.
As an ultra all-inclusive family resort with eight pools, kids' clubs, a wellness centre and several restaurants, it suits a wedding where guests of all ages stay for a few days.
- Pine forest, mountains and the sea in one setting.
- A 770 m² ballroom for a large seated dinner.
- A Blue Flag beach and piers for portraits.
- Kids' clubs and pools for families travelling with children.

Planning tips for a Balmy Foresta wedding
A wedding at a large all-inclusive resort runs smoothly when a few details are settled early. With Ramarossi, one team looks after them for you:
- Guests who are not staying. All-inclusive resorts may charge a day or event pass for guests from outside the hotel. If some of your guests will stay elsewhere, tell us at the start so we can plan around it.
- Music and timings. Outdoor music may have an end time set by the hotel. Plan the ceremony outside and the party indoors if you want to dance late.
- The light. The Kemer coast faces east, so the sun sets behind the mountains rather than over the sea. We plan the ceremony and portraits for the soft light of the late afternoon.
- Guest rooms. Plan your guests' rooms early, especially for a summer date, and tell us your month so we can check the resort is open. Our guide to resort room blocks in Antalya explains the options.

Questions
Balmy Foresta wedding FAQs
Can you have a wedding at Balmy Foresta, formerly Paloma Foresta?

Where is Balmy Foresta, and how far is it from the airport?

How many guests can a Balmy Foresta wedding host?

Is there a sunset over the sea at Balmy Foresta?
No. The Kemer coast faces east, so the sun sets behind the mountains. The late-afternoon light over the sea and the mountains is soft and suits portraits, and we plan the timings around it.
Is Balmy Foresta suitable for families?
Yes. It is a family resort with kids' clubs, a teen club and an aquatower, and it also has an adults-only pool for guests who want a quiet corner.
Can we have a legal (civil) wedding at Balmy Foresta?
In Turkey, a legal marriage is performed by an authorised marriage officer from the local municipality. Couples from abroad usually need passports, birth certificates, a certificate of no impediment from their own country and a health report from a public hospital, with official Turkish translations of foreign documents, and the exact list depends on your nationality. Whether the officer can come to the resort is decided by the municipality, so we check this for your date. Read more about a civil wedding in Antalya. You can also marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony in Antalya, if you prefer.
Where can we hold a welcome dinner or henna night?
The smaller ballrooms, the restaurants and the gardens are options to look at for a henna or Mehndi night or a welcome dinner. We plan each event of your wedding week so it has its own setting.
How much does a wedding at Balmy Foresta cost?
The cost depends on your guest count, date, hotel arrangements and design. After your free consultation you receive one proposal with a clear total, designed around your wedding. For a wider view, read our guide to the cost of a wedding in Turkey.
