Make life a beach for a week or two with a stay at Paloma Perissia in Side. This luxury, design-led hotel is right on the sands of a blue flag beach and offers blissful views out over the sea.

Make a splash in your choice of two outdoor pools and one indoor pool while the little ones enjoy a dedicated children’s pool and water slides. Or wander down to the beach and you'll be made to feel like a big fish in a deluxe pond thanks to a private pier and cabanas with waiter service. While the kids are kept entertained at the mini club (grouped into two ages brackets), adults can sneak off to work out in the gym or grab a divine hour or two in the spa which features a Turkish hamam, a sauna and a menu of indulgent therapies. When mealtimes come around, there are no less than five restaurants to keep dining exciting throughout your stay. Once the sun goes down, relax with a drink at one of the several bars and recap on a delightful day.

There's also plenty to explore close by, with Side's centre just three kilometres away and fascinating historical sights such as the Temple of Apollo's Basilica and the Aspendos Roman Theatre within easy striking distance. It looks like the coast is clear for an unforgettable holiday.
