Adalya Resort and Spa

Lured by the golden sand, crystal clear water and dreamy weather of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast? This five-star adults-only (18+) hotel has a whole host of top class facilities to go alongside its prime beachfront setting, around a 15-minute drive from the bustling town centre of Side.

As well as a Blue Flag-certified stretch of beach, you’ll have three swimming pools to choose from (one indoors, two outdoors), as well as an aqua park with a trio of water slides – so whether you’re ready to get the adrenaline pumping or you’d rather just bask in the sunshine, there’s always a space to do so here. 

Take your relaxation up a notch with a visit to the spa, where you can experience a traditional Turkish bath or treat yourself to a reinvigorating massage or skin treatment. 

There’s never a dull moment to be had thanks to the animation team and the plethora of activities on offer, ranging from beach volleyball and aqua aerobics to table tennis and darts. 

Expect to be spoiled for choice at meal times, with an international buffet and four speciality à la carte restaurants to choose from, covering Turkish and Italian cuisine, as well as fresh seafood and succulent steaks. Drinks are never far away, either, with five bars dotted around the resort, including by the poolside and at the beach.
