Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses — updated as the selection changes.
Selimiye
Best for Exploring ancient ruinsCentered around Side's historic peninsula, this area offers immediate access to the ancient Roman amphitheatre and Temple of Apollo. It is ideal for travellers wanting to combine beach relaxation with historical sightseeing and local dining.
Kumköy
Best for Beachfront resort staysSituated just west of the town center, Kumköy features wide sandy beaches lined with expansive all-inclusive resorts. It offers a quieter seaside environment while remaining within a short taxi ride or walk of Side's historical sights.
Çolaklı
Best for Secluded beach holidaysLocated further west along the coast, Çolaklı is known for its wide, shallow sandy beaches and self-contained luxury resorts. It provides a peaceful setting detached from the bustle of the main town.
Areas to consider
Travellers seeking authentic local dining and independent shops should note that larger, self-contained resorts in outlying areas like Çolaklı offer limited reasons to leave the properties.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
