Map & location
Side, Antalya Area, Turkey
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.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
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.
- Aquapark area with slides (seasonal, generally open 15 March–31 October, age/height restrictions may apply) for thrill-seekers big and small.
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.
