Oba combines proximity to the sea, a drive of about ten minutes to the city centre and a daily life that carries on after the tourist season ends, which is why it is one of the areas people often consider when they want to live in Alanya all year round. This guide explains where Oba is, what living there is like and what to check before you buy, with our current apartments for sale in Oba further down.
Why Oba?
Year-round living
Supermarkets, a hospital, schools, a weekly market and a shopping mall cover daily needs, so life doesn’t depend on the tourist season.
Sea and centre close by
The city centre is about ten minutes away by car; the distance to the sea ranges from a few hundred metres to about 3 km, depending on the project.
Complexes with facilities
Most homes are in residential complexes with a pool and shared areas.
Options for different needs
From 1+1 apartments to larger family flats and duplexes.
Where is Oba?
Oba lies east of Alanya’s historic centre, towards Tosmur, Kestel and Mahmutlar. The Oba river reaches the Mediterranean here. Depending on the part of Oba, the city centre is roughly 3 to 6 km away – about ten minutes by car. Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport is around 35 km away and Antalya Airport around 125 km.
Lower, middle and upper Oba
Locals and agents informally split Oba into three. Lower Oba is the strip closest to the sea, with older low-rise buildings and more hotels. Middle Oba sits in between. Upper Oba lies behind the ring road, about 3 km inland; it is quieter, mainly residential, and prices are generally lower.
Because the distance to the sea varies so much from project to project, we recommend checking the exact location of any apartment you are considering.
Daily life in Oba
Everything for daily life is close by: supermarkets, cafés and restaurants, a weekly local market held on Mondays, and the Alanyum shopping mall. Alanya Training and Research Hospital is in Oba, and the area has both state and private schools.
Who chooses Oba?
Most buyers in Oba plan to spend much of the year there: families, retirees and people who work in Alanya. Some investors buy to let. Most of the housing stock is apartments in complexes with shared facilities such as a pool and children’s playground; villas exist but are the exception.
