A Suite Side sits in the Side/Kumkoy area of the Antalya coast, an easy walk from both the sandy shoreline and a good selection of local bars, cafés and shops. The setting is pleasantly quiet and residential rather than in the thick of the nightlife, so you can unwind by the pool, then head out when you fancy a change of scene.

Side itself is famed for its golden beaches and remarkably preserved ancient ruins, including the Temple of Apollo and the Roman amphitheatre. From A Suite Side you can mix lazy beach days with wanderings through the archaeological zone and evenings at the harbour, where waterside restaurants serve fresh seafood and Turkish mezze.

Side, Antalya Area, Turkey

You might have a full kitchen in your suite, but it’s reassuring to know there’s a relaxed on-site restaurant and bar when you don’t feel like cooking.

The poolside restaurant serves international dishes for breakfast and daytime snacks, with both classic Turkish favourites and familiar comfort food on the menu. It’s casual, friendly and ideal for an easy start or finish to the day.

The pool bar opens from morning until late evening, pouring a mix of local, international and some premium drinks, from soft drinks and coffee to beers, wines and spirits.

Smart-casual dress codes may apply for dining, and opening hours, menus and reservation policies can change seasonally. Supplements can also vary depending on your chosen board basis and any local arrangements.

The heart of the property is its outdoor freshwater pool – a good-sized, turquoise rectangle framed by loungers and parasols. It’s big enough for proper swims yet intimate enough to feel calm, with a sunbathing terrace that catches the best of the Side sunshine. Complimentary pool towels are provided, so you can pack lighter.

Kumkoy’s sandy beach is only about 600m away. Here you’ll find a long stretch of sand with sunbeds and beach cafés, plus a lively-but-not-rowdy atmosphere in summer. Side’s main West and East Beaches are also within easy reach by local dolmus or taxi if you fancy a change of scene or some watersports.

While A Suite Side is primarily about relaxed pool days and independent living, it adds a few well-chosen extras. There’s a compact spa area with a sauna (usually for guests aged 15+), open from morning until late evening depending on occupancy – perfect after a day exploring Side’s ruins.

Entertainment is low-key and occasional, with some daytime activities and evening live music scheduled at certain times of the year, particularly between June and September and again from October to December.

Practical touches include a reception with concierge-style assistance, luggage storage and the ability to hire equipment such as mobility scooters (extra charge). The hotel is spread across five low-rise blocks without lifts, so those with limited mobility should request lower-floor accommodation where possible.
