Sun, sea, and something for everyone
Having snagged a private stretch of shore on the outskirts of Side, this hotel brings a beachfront location – and more – to the table. With more activities and facilities than you can shake a stick at, as well as plenty of opportunities to do absolutely nothing, this place has something for everyone.
Days here tend to revolve around the huge outdoor pool, so grab your towel and find yourself a good spot. You can expect daily poolside entertainment, too, like aqua aerobics and water gymnastics. Kids will love the ample splash-making opportunities – there’re two water slides in the main pool, and a separate pool tucked away to the side just for them. Craving the sand between your toes? Head to the end of the garden and you can camp out on the sands and watch the world – and the Mediterranean Sea – go by.
Pack the kids off the mini club or teen club and whisk yourself off to the spa for a spot of R&R. Grab a few precious minutes of me-time in the sauna or the Hammam – you’ve earned it. Fitness fanatics, on the other hand, can keep up with their regime in the on-site gym, or head over to the sports’ courts and get stuck into a game of basketball or tennis.
There’s plenty to shout about on the food front, too. The main restaurant is an elegant buffet serving round-the-world dishes that’re packed with flavour, and will no doubt have you grabbing a second helping. There’re five à la carte places here, too, dealing in Turkish, Italian, and Chinese specialties, as well as seafood and fondue dishes. There’s even an on-site patisserie, so you can satisfy that sweet tooth.
As for drinks you’ll be spoiled for choice there as well. Choose between eight bars – including a disco number that’s open until the wee hours – scattered around the hotel. Spend your evenings sipping cocktails and enjoying the live entertainment laid on by the hotel.

Side’s reputation for romance is nothing new. Indeed, starry-eyed lovers have been coming to this fairy-tale city in Turkey for quite some time now. Marc Antony is said to have presented Cleopatra with the (still-standing) Apollo Temple as a token of his love and some people say it’s where they first met, back in the 1st century BC.
