Ali Bey Resort

In Turkish hospitality, it's said that visitors should be treated as guests sent from the gods, a mantra that the ultra luxurious Ali Bey Resort takes to heart. Situated directly on Side's blue flag beach, this fantastically designed hotel has incredible views out over the Mediterranean Sea that are nothing short of divine.

You've got a collection of amazing pools to cool off in at this opulent palace. The main, free-form pool winds around a green island oasis while the 'Quiet' pool is where guests can enjoy a tranquil soak. The heated pool is designed for sport while the 'Therapy' and 'Activity' pools make use of hydro jets and water features. Little ones will go crazy for the adventure playground pool and the slide-filled aqua park while they're not busy making friends in the mini club. The deluxe spa will melt away any residual tension and, if you fancy working up a sweat, head to the fitness studio, where you can book an aerobics class or session with a personal trainer for an extra charge.
