Best Beachfront Hotels in Side

By the Travreel editorial team · Updated September 2026

Side's beachfront has a split personality that the booking sites flatten: inside the old town, small boutique houses sit on the sand within sight of Roman columns, while the strips at Kumköy, Sorgun and Çolaklı run the full-size resort programme. 105 waterfront properties cover both worlds — and they're barely comparable, so decide which holiday you're buying first.

The boutique side currently outscores the giants: adults-leaning houses like Aura Boutique hold 9.8/10 across nearly 800 reviews. Among full resorts, TUI Blue Barut Andız (9.5, adults-only) leads with seven guest videos. Families should jump straight to the family shortlist or the all-inclusive field; for the regional call, there's Side vs Alanya.
