A stunning all-inclusive resort on Side beach featuring impeccably designed rooms, an extensive beach, beautiful pools, and excellent dining. The resort is particularly noted for its excellent service levels and is popular with honeymooners and couples.
Paloma Oceana Resort is a five-star all-inclusive resort at Çolaklı, in the Side district of Manavgat on the Eastern Antalya coast, approximately 70 kilometers from Antalya city center. Part of the Turkish Paloma Hotels group, the resort occupies a beachfront position on the Mediterranean coast of the Side area, a stretch of coastline known for its broad sandy beaches and clear turquoise water. The resort has established a consistent reputation among luxury all-inclusive travelers for high service standards, attractive design, and a particularly strong culinary offering.
Accommodation at Paloma Oceana spans a range of room and suite categories, from standard garden-view rooms to sea-view suites and family configurations. Rooms are elegantly finished in a contemporary Mediterranean style with light tones, quality furnishings, marble bathrooms, balconies or terraces, and the full complement of modern in-room amenities. Suite categories offer more space and often include sunken baths or private jacuzzis, making them a popular choice for honeymooners and celebrating couples.
The resort's beach is one of the cleanest and most generously appointed on the Side coast, with a long stretch of fine sand, ample sun loungers and parasols, a beach bar, and access to a modest selection of non-motorized water activities. Multiple outdoor pools — including a main pool, adult-only pool, and children's splash area — provide alternatives to the beach. An indoor pool operates year-round for guests visiting outside peak summer.
Specialty restaurants at Paloma Oceana are among the most praised aspects of the resort, covering Ottoman and Turkish cuisine, Italian, French, and grilled seafood, often with themed evenings and live music accompaniment. The spa and wellness facility includes a Turkish hammam, indoor pool, sauna, and treatment suites. A fitness center, tennis courts, and beach volleyball complete the sporting amenities.
