You can relax on the private beach or on the terraces around the outdoor pool. Swim in the indoor pool, take a Turkish Hamam or steam bath, or treat yourself to a massage or treatment in the Spa (charge).The hotel prides itself on its exceptional cuisine.

All this is included in your 24-hour ultra-all-inclusive package along with cocktails and drinks, served on the terraces and in the hotel’s bars.You can expect the weather to be generally very good in November on the south coast of Turkey, our previous group enjoyed endless sunny days and temperatures mainly over 30 degrees!Included in our package is a half day excursion to Antalya, the eastern gateway to the Turquoise Coast.

*Please note*
We are aware of some building works at a neighbouring property to The Raga Hotel. The works are not taking place at the hotel directly and are not expected to impact any guests at The Raga Hotel. The works are planned for the interior areas of the neighbouring building and actions to mitigate any noise are being implemented. These include a dedicated ‘silent room’ in the centre of the property where all cutting machinery will operate. The management of The Raga Hotel are working with the buildings developer to ensure the guests of The Raga Hotel are not inconvenienced during their stay in Side.
