Location
Set right on the sands in the Side area of the Antalya coast, Miramare Beach combines a classic beach holiday setting with easy access to history and nightlife. From the hotel you can stroll the promenade, dip into nearby shops around 500m away or hop in a taxi to Side’s harbourfront Old Town for sunset over the Temple of Apollo and waterside meze.
Side is known for its long, shallow beaches – ideal for families – as well as impressive Roman ruins and a lively but manageable bar and restaurant scene. With the Taurus Mountains as a backdrop and warm Mediterranean waters in front, it’s a great base whether you’re here for pure relaxation, culture or a mix of both.

Restaurants and Bars
From laid-back snacks by the pool to elegant à la carte dinners, Miramare Beach leans into variety. The main Gussto Restaurant keeps everyone happy with buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner, live cooking stations and plenty of choice for little travellers, including a kids’ buffet and menu. Expect international favourites, Mediterranean touches and Turkish specialities.
In the evenings, you can switch things up at three à la carte venues (reservation required, open on set dates and subject to availability):
- Night A’la Carte – international cuisine in a smart setting for dinner, with a kids’ menu.
- Olive A’la Carte – beachside à la carte dining with a relaxed seaside feel (seasonal opening), ideal for a special night overlooking the Med.
- Solemare A’la Carte – Italian classics, from wood-fired style pizzas to pasta dishes, again with a dedicated kids’ menu.
There’s a strong bar line-up too, including Café Del Mar Snack & Bar by the pool, Kumm Beach Snack & Bar on the sand, Sunset Bar in the lobby for pre-dinner drinks, a Dolce Patisserie for coffee and sweet treats, and the adults-only Disco Del Mare Bar in the gardens for late-night dancing (seasonal opening times).
A smart casual dress code applies in most indoor bars and restaurants, and beachwear is usually not permitted inside. Reservations, opening times and any supplements vary by season and board setup, so check the daily programme on arrival.
Pool Areas and Beach
The heart of the resort is its palm-framed pool scene. You’ll find:
- Main outdoor freshwater pool with plenty of sunbeds, parasols and a relaxed, holiday soundtrack. Heating is available in March (dates and temperature subject to weather).
- Outdoor children’s pool, also freshwater and heated during March, with shallow water and space for inflatables and water toys.
- Indoor pool with children’s section and a whirlpool, ideal for cooler days at the very start or end of the season.

Complimentary pool towels are provided, and there’s even a disabled hoist at the pool to support guests with reduced mobility.
Step past the pool terrace and you’re straight onto the wide sandy beach, where you can swim, sunbathe or, for an extra charge via an external provider, try watersports like canoes, pedalos, motorised watersports, snorkelling and giant inflatables (ages and conditions apply). With the calm, shallow shoreline typical of Side, it’s a strong option for families with younger children.
