About The Raga Side

Opened in 2018, The Raga Side is a five-star, adults-only hotel at Özal Caddesi No:21 in Side Mahallesi, the road that runs through the northern part of Side towards the peninsula. The ancient theatre and the old town begin about 1.4 km to the south, and Horus Paradise Luxury Resort is the nearest large neighbour, some 500 m to the north-west. The hotel stands in the second line: its sandy beach is about 80 m away, a short walk across from the buildings.

Antalya Airport serves Side best. The drive goes east on the D400 past Aksu and Serik, leaves the highway at the Side junction before Manavgat and runs down towards the peninsula. The hotel is on Özal Caddesi in the northern part of town, about a kilometre and a half before the old town gate.

The Raga Side works on an all-inclusive basis with an emphasis on food, which is why tour operators also list it with a fine-dining tag. Its rooms come in two sizes, standard rooms of 27 m² and suites of 57 m², both laid out for two adults. The outdoor pool is shaped like a guitar. Alongside the main restaurant there is an Italian à la carte restaurant and À la Minute, where dishes are cooked to order.
