Imagine waking up to the gentle breeze of pine-covered hills, gazing over shimmering turquoise waters, and spending your days in a resort surrounded by natural beauty. That’s exactly what a group of Travel Counsellors experienced at Hillside Beach Club, a paradise nestled on Türkiye’s captivating Turquoise Coast. Over a glorious long weekend, they embraced incredible food, stunning landscapes, and a packed itinerary of activities and celebrations. Here’s a peek into their unforgettable adventure and why Hillside Beach Club is the perfect destination for your next getaway.
A warm welcome to paradise
The adventure began as the group stepped foot onto the scenic grounds of Hillside Beach Club, tucked away in the secluded bay of Fethiye. Their arrival was met with the resort's signature hospitality, setting the tone for a luxurious and unforgettable stay. Surrounded by verdant hills and aquamarine waters, the resort offered an idyllic backdrop for four days of indulgence.
That evening, the welcome dinner at Pasha on the Bay was nothing short of spectacular. Set against the tranquil waterfront, our Travel Counsellors were treated to an array of Turkish delights, beginning with an expansive selection of mezze, followed by delectable hot starters, mouthwatering mains, and indulgent desserts. Reflecting on the day, Allison said, “It’s easy to see why they have so much repeat business! Beautiful spot, gracious hospitality, and one of the best buffets I’ve ever seen!”
Celebrating success and sailing adventures
Following a sumptuous lunch featuring endless options of fresh salads, meats, cheeses, and local specialties, the group embarked on a private sailing adventure. Departing directly from the resort’s dock, they spent the afternoon gliding along Türkiye’s breathtaking coastline, pausing for refreshing dips in the Mediterranean’s crystal-clear waters. Laughter, great conversation, and picturesque vistas made this experience a highlight for all.
The evening was a relaxed yet lively affair in the nearby town of Fethiye. Some ventured to the charming Populaire restaurant to enjoy meze dishes accompanied by live music, while others returned to Hillside Beach Club for an energetic night of dancing under the stars, complete with a DJ.
Exploring Türkiye’s natural wonders
Day two was all about exploration, offering the group a choice of excursions or time to savour the resort’s world-class facilities. Some opted for the adventure-filled half-day trip to Saklıkent Gorge, where they hiked through canyon walls and tried their hand at river tubing. Others joined the full-day trip to Dalyan-Caunos, enjoying a scenic lake tour, rejuvenating mud baths, and a boat ride to Iztuzu Beach, famously home to loggerhead turtles. For those who preferred a more leisurely day, Hillside Beach Club offered countless ways to unwind. Adults-only beaches, spa treatments, and water sports were some of the highlights, while the resort’s attentive staff ensured every guest felt pampered and cared for.
Reflecting on their time together, it was clear that Hillside Beach Club had provided the perfect setting for connection, relaxation, and celebration. From luxurious accommodations and top-notch service to thrilling activities and inspiring company, every moment was curated to perfection. Clare summed it up perfectly, “From the first moment we arrived at Hillside, I knew this was a special place. The staff are incredible and you really felt that their job was to make sure you had the best time. The resort is beautiful, the beaches just spectacular, the food was without question some of the best I have had at a hotel resort.”
