Calyptus Kirman Premium 👑 Beachfront spa escape

Kirman Calyptus Resort & Spa sits on the Manavgat coast near Side, on Turkey's Mediterranean shore. Kumkoy Beach is under 500 metres away, and the resort runs to 420 rooms across landscaped gardens. There is a pool and water park on site, so it is set up for a full resort stay rather than a base for sightseeing alone. Antalya Airport is about an hour's drive to the west, keeping the journey from the plane to the sun loungers short.

The stay runs on an ultra all-inclusive basis, so meals and drinks across the restaurants and bars are covered through the day. On site you have an outdoor pool, a seasonal pool and a water park, plus a spa with sauna and a fitness centre. A shuttle service runs to the beach for time by the sea, and evening options include a nightclub and billiards. Families are looked after with a playroom and children's facilities. The Family room suits two adults and gives a little more space than a standard double.

The ancient city of Side is about 3.9 km away and is the main draw for a day out, with its Roman theatre and the Temple of Apollo by the water. Closer in, Kumkoy Beach (484 m) and Serenis Beach (504 m) are short walks, while Side South Beach is around 764 metres off. For families, the Thematic Park Zoo sits roughly 1.5 km from the hotel. Manavgat town and its waterfall are a short drive inland for a half-day trip.

This one suits couples and families who want an all-in resort base near the sea, with food and drink sorted and Side's ruins within easy reach for a day out.
