Barut Hemera

With its striking site surrounded by lush gardens, this all-inclusive beachfront resort embodies five-star luxury. It’s just a short stroll from the beach and from the historic town of Side on Turkey’s southern coast.

The elegantly furnished suites boast plenty of welcome features, including private balconies with pool and garden views. Families aren’t left out either. A kids’ club and water slides are on hand to keep the little ones busy while the grown-ups indulge in the spa – with a sumptuous selection of massage treatments on offer – or work up a sweat in the fitness centre. And everyone can enjoy the array of sports activities, from yoga and tennis to beach volleyball and boccia. If relaxation is more your thing, spend the afternoon lounging by one of several outdoor pools, or head down to the private beach.
