Hillside Su, located on the sunny Mediterranean coast in Antalya, Turkey, is a glamourous, cutting-edge five-star beach hotel. With an interior design palette described by The Sunday Times Travel magazine as "A Clockwork Orange meets Saturday Night Fever," it's somewhat shocking to discover that the hotel is remarkably relaxing. Disco balls hung over stark white day beds add glittering playful colour to the atrium lobby, which allows in abundant natural light. Young jetsetters, newlyweds and adventurous families flock to Hillside Su in equal parts, and with the plush rooms, breathtaking views and luxe facilities, it's easy to understand why.

The facilities

Set in Antalya’s Beach Park, Hillside Su overlooks hammock-strewn gardens perfumed with orange trees and jasmine; wandering jogging paths run right down to the Mediterranean coast.  Swim and bask in the sun at the hotel’s award-winning Blue Flag beach or the Olympic-sized outdoor pool. The pool boasts stylish teak decking and a super-cool underwater music system. Yoga, bike rentals, volleyball and beachfront film screenings are all on offer as well. Drop the little ones off at the well-equipped kids club, and treat yourself to a massage in the Sanda Spa, decorated in the same stylish minimalism as the rest of the hotel and houses an indoor pool and hammam.

The rooms

294 rooms and suites are decked in pure, serene white, and open onto large private balconies with plush daybeds that overlook the sea and the snow-capped Taurus Mountains. Indulge in a treat from the impressively stocked “maxibar,” which is packed with 100-plus snacks, drinks and toiletries.
