Hillside Beach Club
The stylish Hillside Beach Club makes a perfect base for exploring the dramatic landscapes, atmospheric towns and picturesque beaches of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast. That’s if you can tear yourself away from the hotel itself.
Surrounded by lush, pine-covered hills and overlooking the sands of private Kalemya Bay, Hillside Beach Club is an Eden-esque escape from the busy, modern world. Its minimalist architecture complements rather than competes with the spectacular surroundings, which includes three sandy beaches, one open to all and two for adults only.
Superior double and family rooms are the ones to book here as they all have a sea view and a private terrace from which to enjoy it. Step outside your room and you’ve 300 acres of resort to explore, with facilities ranging from a nature trail, yoga deck and outdoor cinema to diving and sailing lessons and wakeboarding tuition from a former world champion. The kids’ club covers everything from piano workshops to robot building, and excursions are available to nearby Fethiye, age-old monasteries and lost-in-time villages.
The spa, with its seven therapy rooms and wide range of treatments, is just off one of the adults-only beaches, so the only sounds you’ll hear as you give yourself over to the capable practitioners will be natural birdsong and gently lapping waves.
Equally appealing are the three exquisite restaurants. The Main Restaurant offers buffet-style dining with sizzling grills, wood-fired ovens and plenty of gluten- and lactose-free options. Pasha by the Bay serves Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine in a candlelit beachside setting. While the Beach Bar & Restaurant brings the flavours of Italy using fresh local produce.
