Adults-only hotels in Alanya & Side: culture and coast for two

An adults-only hotel in Alanya or Side could suit you if you’d like to combine a stay on the Mediterranean with an adults-only setting. The two five-star hotels featured here welcome guests aged 16 and over: one is in Alanya, the other in Side.

One of the hotels in Alanya focuses on its pool and spa; in Side, your stay is paired with the ancient city. Between them, places such as Side Antik Kenti, Alanya Kalesi and the Dim Çayı valley offer ideas for days out together.

Why choose Alanya & Side for a couples’ holiday?

The region offers different settings for days together. In Alanya, the ramparts and lanes of Alanya Kalesi climb uphill, with views over the harbour and Mediterranean. In Side, the columns, agora and theatre of Side Antik Kenti line paths through the history of the harbour town.

The scenery changes away from the coast, too. At Manavgat Şelalesi, you can get close to the water; in the Dim Çayı valley, wooded slopes frame the riverbank. A boat trip on the Manavgat Irmağı offers another way to see the landscape, from the water. For an evening in Side, the columns of the Temple of Apollo provide a setting for a stroll with sea views.

The two hotels have different strengths. The Alanya hotel suits couples who’d like to include a pool, spa and fitness in their holiday. The Side hotel is a good choice if you’d like to combine a restaurant and lounge with a stay in the ancient city.
