Why guests keep coming back to this Turkish hideaway

There is also plenty on offer for adults. A new padel court, yoga on the beach and exhilarating water sports including waterskiing, wakeboarding and scuba-diving invite you to immerse yourself in the incredible landscape. Explore further afield with biking and hiking tours, or set off on one of the sailing trips – perhaps you’ll choose the sunset tour and watch as the sky’s magnificent colours suffuse the water, island-hop along the coastline or board a traditional wooden gulet boat for a morning browsing the stalls at the vibrant Fethiye bazaar. Couples or solo travellers will also be pleasantly surprised by the fact that two of the three beaches are adults-only: the Serenity beach, accessed by a five-minute stroll through an atmospheric pine forest, and the Silent beach, where guests are encouraged to leave their devices behind and immerse themselves in birdsong and a good book. Follow a tranquil morning on the sand with a trip to the Sanda Nature Spa’s treetop therapy rooms for a Balinese body treatment and massages or to the cool, contemporary Sanda Day Spa for an indulgent massage before spending an afternoon hopping between the sauna, the snow fountain and the Turkish baths.

Multiple coffee shops and bars present the opportunity to refuel throughout the day, and meals are taken in one of three restaurants. Buffet-style dining is available all day at the Main Restaurant. There’s plenty of selection for those with dietary requirements, a wellness buffet for the health-conscious and even a dedicated chef to whip up dishes guaranteed to please the pickiest of young eaters. Head to the Beach Bar and Restaurant for casual lunches, fresh Mediterranean dining with a family-friendly vibe or energetic sunset parties; for a romantic candlelit supper with a background of sea views and gently lapping waves, book into Pasha on the Bay.

The hotel is ideal for summer getaways, half-term breaks and holidays outside of peak times, with a season running from the start of April to early November and consistently good weather throughout. If the numbers – and the reviews – are anything to go by, Hillside Beach Club is somewhere you’ll want to return to every chance you get.
