Side is one of Turkey’s classic Mediterranean resorts – all golden sands, a handsome harbour and sunset-lit ruins of the Temple of Apollo. Royal Atlantis Icon sits in the Side area, a short stroll from the beach, with the historic old town and its buzzing marina an easy taxi ride away.

Beyond the resort you’ll find a lively strip of bars and restaurants, modern shopping malls and water sports all along the coastline. It’s a great base if you want to mix pool days and beach time with a dose of history and local flavour.

Beach: approx. 380m
Side resort centre: approx. 12km

Royal Atlantis Icon runs a generous All Inclusive Plus programme with one buffet restaurant and six à la carte venues, so you can mix easy buffet meals with dressed-up evenings.

The Tamarix Main Restaurant handles buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner with show cooking, a kids’ buffet, highchairs and even microwaves for families.

Six à la carte restaurants (reservation, seasonal and supplements may apply) cover international favourites, Italian classics, Mexican flavours and authentic Turkish dishes, along with a beachfront venue for laidback lunches:

• Aria Beach Club – international lunches and snacks right on the sand.
• Bistro Brio – international breakfast with show cooking by the pool.
• La Mar – stylish evening dining.
• Lusso – Italian specialities for dinner.
• Sabor – Mexican restaurant with all the spice.
• Serai – Turkish cuisine for local tastes and meze spreads.

Bars are dotted around the resort, including Aria Bar on the beach, Iconic Bar & Lounge, the Oasis Pool Bar with swim-up service, and the late-night Opia Disco Bar (selected evenings).

Smart-casual dress is usually required in the evening; beachwear is not permitted in most indoor restaurants. Reservations and opening days can vary by season and occupancy.

Pool days are a big part of life at Royal Atlantis Icon.

You’ll find a large outdoor freshwater pool with whirlpool features and lots of sunbeds, plus two indoor freshwater pools – one dedicated children’s pool – ideal for cooler days or a break from the midday sun. Pool towels are complimentary, and inflatables and water toys are allowed in selected pools.

The star attraction for many families is the aqua park, complete with slides, plus a colourful splash park with tipping water buckets, cannons and shallow play areas perfect for younger guests. Age, height and weight restrictions may apply on some slides for safety.

When you’re ready for the sea, the sandy beach is around 380m away, where you can switch pools for waves and enjoy that classic Side coastline.

Wellness and activity are both well covered here.

The spa area (charges apply for treatments) includes a Turkish bath, sauna, steam room and whirlpool, along with massage and beauty treatments and an on-site hairdresser – ideal for a mid-holiday refresh or pre-dinner pampering.

A bright, air-conditioned gym is kitted out with cardio machines, free weights, a stretching zone and fixed strength equipment, and is typically open from morning until early evening.

For something more playful, you’ve got pool tables, darts, table tennis, volleyball and yoga, plus a packed entertainment programme:

• Frequent daytime games, family activities and water-based fun (seasonal).
• Evening entertainment from May–November with live music, professional shows, DJ sets, karaoke, quizzes and mini-disco.
