Map & location
Side, Antalya Area, Turkey
Set in the Side area of the Antalya coast, Terrace Elite Resort gives you a classic Turkish Riviera setting: long sandy beaches, pine-framed landscapes and a backdrop of ancient history. A short stroll brings you to local shops, bars and restaurants, while a longer taxi ride takes you to Side’s atmospheric old town, amphitheatre and harbourfront bars.
This is a beach-focused location with plenty of family-friendly facilities nearby, yet Side’s historic centre and livelier nightlife are still within easy reach for day trips or evening excursions.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 30 minutes from Antalya (AYT)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Pool days are a big part of the story here. There are two main outdoor freshwater pools, including a dedicated children’s pool, surrounded by sunbeds and parasols. The headline attraction is the on-site aqua park, featuring multiple slides and an aqua loop that’s a hit with older kids and teens (and often the adults too).
You’ll find:
– Main outdoor freshwater pool with spacious sun terrace
– Separate outdoor children’s pool with slides
– Full aqua park zone with slides and aqua loop slides (open 09:00–17:00, seasonally)
– Complimentary pool towels
The sandy beach is around 600m away, reachable via a short walk or local shuttle (subject to availability). As with many aqua parks, age, height or weight restrictions may apply to individual slides, and pool operations are weather and season dependent (typically open from early/mid-April to the end of October).
Spa, sports & wellness
Balance out those buffet visits with time in the hotel’s gym or spa. The air-conditioned fitness room is equipped with cardio machines, a free-weights section and strength equipment, generally opening from early morning into the early evening during the main season.
The spa offers a classic Turkish wellness circuit – sauna, steam room and traditional Turkish bath (hammam) – plus a menu of massages and beauty treatments. An on-site hairdresser makes pre-dinner spruce-ups easy.
On-site facilities include:
– Air-conditioned gym (seasonal hours, typically 07:00–19:00)
– Spa with sauna, steam room and Turkish bath
– Massage and beauty treatments (local charge)
– On-site hairdresser (local charge)
– 24-hour reception with luggage storage

Food & drink
Terrace Elite Resort’s All Inclusive dining is built around a generous buffet plus handy snack stops and à la carte options.
The main Riviera Restaurant serves buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner with show cooking stations in the evening and a dedicated kids’ buffet. Down by the beach, a casual beach restaurant covers laid-back lunches with sea views, while Gordonia Patisserie keeps everyone going with cakes, waffles and sweet snacks between meals.
In the evenings, you can mix and match between the Turkish-flavoured Sultan À La Carte and another international à la carte, Turkuaz (both open seasonally and by reservation, with a supplement depending on your board). Drinks are spread across a lobby bar, pool bar and beach bar, so you’re never far from a soft drink, coffee, beer or cocktail during bar opening hours.
Smart-casual dress codes apply in the main and à la carte restaurants (no beachwear; gentlemen may be asked to wear long trousers). Restaurant opening dates, times, and inclusions can vary by season and occupancy.
Rooms
Standard Room (up to 4 guests)
Similar in style and facilities to the smaller Standard Room but configured to sleep up to four guests. Ideal for small families or friends sharing.
Standard Large Double Room (2–4 guests)
A more spacious option suited to couples who like a bit of extra room or families looking for greater comfort. Comes with the same core amenities: balcony, Wi‑Fi, TV, safe, kettle and minibar (local charge).
Family Room (2–4 guests)
Designed with families in mind, these rooms generally offer more space and sleeping flexibility. Perfect if you’d like separate beds for the kids within one combined space.
Economy Room (2–3 guests)
A value-focused choice with the same key amenities as Standard Rooms, but typically in less central or lower-floor locations. Great if you plan to spend more time by the pool and beach than in the room.
Double Room with Side Sea View (2–3 guests)
As per the Standard Room but with a side sea-view aspect from the balcony for a little extra holiday feel.
Double Room with Side Sea View – Sole Use (1–3 guests)
Great for solo travellers or those who simply enjoy extra space, these rooms offer all the benefits of a side sea view with sole-use flexibility.
Standard Room – Sole Use (1–3 guests)
Standard facilities and layout but reserved for single occupancy (with the option for a second or third person if needed), offering flexibility for solo guests or parents travelling with one child.
All room types include daily room cleaning and towel changes. Air conditioning operates seasonally and at the hotel’s discretion. Minibar items are usually at an extra charge.
