Map & location
Side, Antalya Area, Turkey
Side Star Park puts you within strolling distance of everything that makes Side so popular. A short walk leads to the golden-sand main beach, while the resort centre tempts with harbourfront cafés, shops selling leather and jewellery, and ancient ruins dotted between modern streets.
In the evenings, wander into the old town for sunset at the Temple of Apollo, then drift back along the promenade or take a short taxi ride home. With Side Museum, Market Square and Sorgun Beach all within a couple of kilometres, you can easily mix culture, beach time and low-key nightlife in one stay.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
With three outdoor pools plus a private section of Side’s sandy beach, water babies are spoiled for choice.
• Large main outdoor freshwater pool with surrounding sun terrace, loungers and parasols (seasonal).
• Second outdoor freshwater pool with water slides – a big hit with families.
• Separate shallow outdoor children’s pool with its own sunbathing area.
• Free pool towels provided, so you can travel lighter.
A short walk brings you to the hotel-managed stretch of Side beach, where the beach bar keeps drinks and snacks close at hand. The shore here is typically gently shelving, making it friendly for paddling with younger children, while the wider Side coastline offers water sports such as jet-skiing and windsurfing (usually run by independent local operators).
Opening dates for pools and the beach bar generally run from spring to late autumn and can be weather and occupancy dependent.
