You step through the doors of the Asteria Family Resort Side and the Mediterranean atmosphere captures you immediately. Around you, 606 rooms scattered across a harmonious complex, facing the turquoise waters that define Turkey's Riviera. Side itself is just a few kilometers away, with its Greco-Roman ruins and charming harbor. Here, Turkey reveals itself in relaxation mode: private beach, pools, entertainment and the promise of Ultra All-Inclusive that frees you from every pricing concern.

Arrival

You arrive via Antalya airport, approximately 78 kilometers away. Transfer is smooth, and the moment you step into 24-hour reception, you sense this well-oiled hotel machinery. The 606 rooms offer three comfort levels. Standard Rooms at 23 m² suit couples or small families with one child, featuring terrace, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Superior Rooms nearly double the space at 46 m² and welcome two adults plus two children. Junior Suites at 61 m² provide generous space for families seeking comfort. All feature complete bathrooms, robes and hairdryers, daily minibar restocking, courtesy tray with tea and coffee. Balconies and terraces overlook gardens or sea.

Dining, all included

Ultra All-Inclusive frees you from meal calculations. The main restaurant offers a varied international buffet, with Turkish, Mediterranean and Asian classics side by side. For gourmands seeking authenticity, a la carte restaurants deliver Turkish, Mediterranean and Asian specialties on reservation (once per 7-night stay minimum). Beach Snack Restaurant, Food Corner, Pastry Shop and Gozleme House (house of gözleme, those delicious savory Turkish crepes) complete the offer between meals. Five bars welcome your breaks: Lobby Bar, Pool Bar facing the basins, Beach Bar with feet in the sand, Relax Bar for quiet moments, and Sunset Beach Bar where the Mediterranean glows at end of day. Local beverages and international selection included. Please verify all-inclusive details directly with the resort, as inclusions may vary by season and room type.

Days by the water

The Asteria deploys its seduction around water. You enjoy a private equipped beach with direct access, no road crossing needed, with loungers and parasols. Multiple outdoor and indoor pools scatter across the resort, and the water park with waterslides especially delights children. An equipped solarium offers classic lounge chairs for rest moments. Mini-Club animates daytime for younger guests with age-appropriate activities. You'll find a fitness room for those refusing to slow down. Motorized water sports available for supplement. Daily daytime and evening entertainment program structures the days without imposing them, multilingual animators offering beach volleyball, aquagym, group games or simply musical moments.

Evening vibes

As darkness falls, the Sunset Beach Bar becomes the natural meeting point, glass in hand, the Mediterranean shifting from pink to indigo. Evening entertainment settles in, musical shows, themed nights, and that Mediterranean atmosphere gaining intensity. The Lobby Bar welcomes more intimate conversations. Offerings unfold unhurriedly, each person finding their rhythm between active participation and quiet observation.

Who is it for?

The Asteria Family Resort Side clearly appeals to families seeking quiet time with children. Three room categories allow everyone to calibrate their space. Couples seeking relaxation appreciate the all-inclusive formula erasing pricing concerns. Seniors find fitness room, graduated entertainment and proximity to major historical sites, ancient Side 5 km away, Side theater and Aspendos city at 19 km. The hotel operates at a gentle pace, neither high-energy nightclub nor total silence, but that middle ground where relaxation dominates.
