Map & location
Side, Antalya Area, Turkey
Club Calimera Serra Palace stretches along a peaceful strip of beachfront outside Side, on Turkey’s sun-drenched Antalya coast. You’re tucked away enough to feel like a self-contained resort, yet Side’s ancient ruins, harbourfront restaurants and lively bazaar are an easy day out.
Within the grounds it’s all palm-sprinkled gardens, pools and waterslides leading down towards the sand. Step outside and you’re well placed for boat trips, coastal walks and exploring Manavgat’s markets and waterfalls by taxi or excursion.
- • Approx. transfer time from Antalya Airport (AYT) 2 hours (coach, depending on traffic and stops)
