You step through the doors of Smart Club Stella Hotel and there it is: the Turkish Riviera unfolds before you in all its authenticity. Here, we don't sell you a promise, we deliver a geography of sensations. Just 600 metres away, sandy beach invites you to swim at dawn. But the real luxury of the place is its positioning: close enough to Side to explore the Temple of Apollo and the Roman theatre ruins, discreet enough to savour the tranquility of early mornings. It's a hotel that understands what modern travellers expect: comfort without fuss, relaxation without boredom.

Arrival

You land at Antalya, 64 kilometres away. The transfer brings you to this headland where the atmosphere shifts immediately. The hotel breathes balance: neither too large nor too intimate, with its 94 rooms logically distributed. Reception operates 24 hours a day, practical for staggered arrivals or departures imposed by airlines. Lifts serve all floors. Standard rooms accommodate up to three adults or two adults with two children. Each features a furnished terrace or balcony, air conditioning, flat-screen television with satellite channels, mini-fridge, safe and complete bathroom with shower and hairdryer. The space is generous and bright, designed so you feel comfortable without disturbing anyone. WiFi connection is available for an additional fee. Check-in around 3 p.m., check-out at 11 or 12 o'clock depending on the day. From then on, the Mediterranean awaits you.

Dining, all included

The all-inclusive formula covers three meals and a selection of local and international beverages. The main restaurant operates as a buffet, where authentic Turkish flavours parade alongside international classics that reassure families. You pick according to your wishes, three times a day, without counting. Between two swims, the pool bar serves cocktails and refreshments. If you crave a quieter moment, the hall bar offers a cosy atmosphere to enjoy a drink in peace. An à la carte restaurant also exists, operating as a supplement, with dishes prepared to order by chefs for those seeking a more personalised experience. We invite you to verify the details of the all-inclusive offer directly with the hotel, as inclusions may vary according to the period and type of room selected.

Days by the water

An outdoor pool, an indoor pool, a solarium furnished with loungers and parasols. You choose your mode of aquatic relaxation without hesitation. The sandy beach is 600 metres away on foot, allowing you to alternate between fresh and salt water effortlessly. For children, a dedicated area offers outdoor games, slides and its own pool. A fitness room allows some exercise for those who refuse to rust. Table tennis and darts round out the offer for moments when you want playful competition. Water sports activities are easy to explore nearby: Dolusu AquaPark is 4 kilometres away, Göynük Canyon 11 kilometres for rafting, Olympos Teleferik 12 kilometres for a cable car experience over the mountains. A daily entertainment programme during day and evening (concerts, shows, themed evenings, live music) enlivens the stay for those who want interaction. History enthusiasts explore Side, its temples, Roman theatres, Byzantine ramparts, just kilometres away. Phaselis Örenyeri and its archaeological sites are equally accessible. Aspendos, one of the world's best-preserved ancient theatres, merits a visit. The Spa and wellness area offers sauna, hot tub and Turkish bath. Body and facial treatments, massages, are available as extras.

Evening vibes

As night falls, the show and concert programme takes centre stage. The hall bar fills gradually, the pool bar transforms into a meeting place. Themed evenings punctuate the week. Musicians play live. This is when the hotel sheds its daytime tranquility and becomes a small international village of vacationers laughing together.

Who is it for?

This hotel suits couples seeking beach relaxation without sacrificing cultural discoveries. Families will find activities for children, pools, a nearby beach, and assurance that everything is budgeted upfront in the all-inclusive package. Seniors will appreciate the relative tranquility, proximity to historical attractions and absence of excessive formalities. Friends travelling together will enjoy the collective atmosphere without oppressive scheduled shows. Important note: the hotel is not adapted for people with reduced mobility. Take this into account when choosing.
