5* Megasaray Resort Side

Develop smarter pickleball, then unwind on Turkey's Mediterranean coast.

Spend seven nights at Megasaray Resort Side, combining a hosted adult pickleball programme with five-star All Inclusive relaxation on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. Completely renovated in 2024, this stunning resort near historic Side is currently rated 8.9/10, Fabulous, on Booking.com.

You will enjoy 20 hours of organised pickleball across Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday each include a two-hour morning session and a two-hour later-afternoon session, planned for the cooler parts of the day and away from the hottest midday hours. Friday concludes with consecutive sessions from 09:00 to 13:00.

A maximum group of 16 adults is supported by two expert coaches, with coaching planned at a 1:8 coach-to-player ratio. Four brand-new, purpose-built outdoor pickleball courts are allocated to Active Away, with no more than four players per court. This means purposeful repetition, constant coach involvement and plenty of opportunity to put each theme into play whilst making new friends.

The programme develops your serve, return and baseline game before progressing through third-shot drops, transition play, fourth-shot decisions and kitchen skills. Friday brings everything together through a friendly American Doubles-style competition and programme finale.

Off court, unwind beside the Relax Pool, walk to the private sandy beach or use the fitness centre, Turkish bath, sauna and steam room. All Inclusive dining in the Main Restaurant makes each day easy.

Wednesday is free from organised play, giving you time to enjoy this stunning resort or explore independently. Visit nearby historic Side, the crown jewel of the Turkish Riviera, with its ancient ruins, waterfront and Temple of Apollo.

Travelling solo or with friends? Your host, WhatsApp group and shared social meals make it easy to feel part of the holiday from day one. Choose the departure that suits you and view the latest price and room availability below.

Resort Information

Restaurants

Bring your appetite. From generous buffets and Turkish favourites to freshly made gözleme, poolside bites and tempting cakes, Megasaray Resort Side gives you plenty of ways to refuel between pickleball sessions.

Main Restaurant

This is your included dining base for breakfast, lunch and dinner on our All Inclusive package. Expect an international buffet alongside Turkish flavours, with plenty of choice before and after pickleball. The resort's seasonal concept also lists a late-night meal, although arrangements may vary.

Mega Food

Mega Food serves pizza, burgers and street-food-style dishes, making it a useful option when you want a casual daytime meal.

Pool Food Court

The Pool Food Court offers a rotating selection of daytime snacks. The range can change, but it is a convenient place to refuel between time on court and time by the pool.

Gözleme

Head towards the beach for freshly prepared Turkish gözleme. These traditional filled flatbreads are a local favourite and well worth trying during your stay.

Beach Snack

Beach Snack offers a lighter selection during the afternoon. Menus and opening arrangements follow the hotel's seasonal operation.

Good to know

Breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Main Restaurant are included in the Active Away package. Other outlets operate seasonally and their menus and package coverage can change.

Bars

Whether you fancy a morning coffee, a refreshing poolside drink or a relaxed evening beer, Megasaray Resort Side gives you plenty of places to pause and catch up.

Lobby Bar

A handy indoor meeting point throughout your holiday. Settle in with a coffee, meet your fellow players for cocktails or enjoy a pre-dinner catch-up before the evening gets under way.

Pool Bar

When you are relaxing beside the outdoor pools, refreshments are reassuringly close. It is an easy spot to cool down, take a break and decide whether another swim is calling.

Beach Bar

The Mediterranean is the star here. Pick up a drink close to the beach, enjoy the sea air and make the most of those holiday views without wandering far from the water.

Aqua Bar

The Aqua Bar keeps refreshments close to the resort's water facilities, whether you are cooling down after a swim or taking a break from the sun.

Beer House Bar

For a laid-back evening, head to the Beer House Bar. It is a relaxed place to enjoy a beer and chat about the day, including the shots you nailed and the ones you may prefer to forget.

Good to know

Bars, drinks brands, opening arrangements and All Inclusive coverage can vary by season. Premium drinks and options outside the resort concept may carry an extra charge, so check the latest details at the resort before ordering.
