Map & location
Side, Antalya Area, Turkey
Simus Beach Hotel is set right on the sand in Side, one of Turkey’s most atmospheric coastal towns. You’re waterfront for long, lazy beach days, with the resort’s restaurants and bars around 10–15 minutes’ walk away and the cobbled streets of Side Old Town just a little further along the peninsula.
Explore Roman ruins and the Temple of Apollo at sunset, then wander back along the promenade or hop into a short taxi. It’s a handy base if you like to dine out independently, mix beach time with culture, and avoid the big-resort buzz in favour of something more intimate and local.

- Side resort centre 850m

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s compact outdoor freshwater pool is perfectly positioned for sea views, with a small sunbathing terrace and plenty of loungers to stretch out on. It’s more about tranquil dips and reading under the sun than big resort energy, which suits the adults-only crowd.
You’ll also find:
– Outdoor freshwater pool with swimming lane-style section
– Sunbathing area with sunbeds and parasols
– Free pool towels (no need to pack your own)
Just a few steps beyond the terrace is the hotel’s private section of Side’s long beach. Sink your toes into the sand, take a swim in the calm waters or simply move between lounger and bar throughout the day. Facilities may vary by season and weather.
Spa, sports & wellness

Watersports, boat trips and historical tours are readily available nearby and can usually be arranged locally for an extra cost.
