Hillside Beach Club in Fethiye

Back at Hillside for a week in October and again the resort did not disappoint. The attention to detail of the entire team was as before exceptional from Dogan and his team in main restaurant to our house keeper they were so attentive. The animation team really make the evenings come alive and are so present throughout the day. The choice In the main restaurant is vast and although not Michelin star quality it is certainly more than value for money. For me what brought us back to Hillside was still there the atmosphere and warmth created by the team and the location are right up there with some of the best resorts I have visited.

Top quality resort. The setting is incredible: a private bay with clear sea and in August an amazing temperature. It felt tropical! The secluded private location felt special and the views from all parts of the resort were incredible. Food was top class, good variety at the buffet and huge quantities. The Mediterranean restaurant was absolutely delicious. Great kids club, the Artside workshop is a brilliant addition for kids (small additional cost) and there are so many daily activities. Some nice extra touches like mid afternoon snacks and then hot dogs pre dinner! It is hard not to over-eat here! A really brilliant place and a we are excited to return. The one negative is that water is only complementary in the rooms on the day of arrival. Not in keeping with a high end resort.

This May half term marked our ninth visit to Hillside Beach Club – and we’re glad we returned. After our last stay a few years ago, we debated trying somewhere new, but the improvements made since then have reaffirmed our love for this resort. Notable Improvements • Room Refurbishment: The previously tired and rustic interiors have been updated with a look of simple sophistication. Gone are the bead curtains at the bathroom doorway – replaced by elegant wooden doors that are both stylish and practical. • Food Quality: The culinary offering has noticeably improved. A particular highlight was the fresh prawns, a welcome upgrade from the mushy ones we encountered in earlier years. Every meal felt fresher and better curated. The two served restaurants Pasha and Beach bar were notably improved. • Sunbed Availability: The new rule that removes towels after 2 hours of inactivity is a game changer. It means more sunbeds are available throughout the day – a small change with a big impact. • Yoga & Pilates Timing: Moving these classes from the early morning to mid-morning was a smart move, especially for UK guests who’d rather not rise at dawn on holiday. This simple scheduling change made it easier to enjoy wellness activities without sacrificing rest. Things to Keep in Mind • Pricing: Hillside remains on the expensive side, especially for drinks. Even with our 30% discount, beverages felt overpriced. • Wish List: I’d love to see reformer Pilates classes added in the future. It would elevate the wellness offering and provide more variety for fitness-minded guests. • The House Wine has taken a dive and has been replaced to a restrictive low quality brand which is really isn’t good, so you will need to add wine at mealtimes to the costs also. Final Thoughts Despite the cost, the stunning scenery, thoughtful upgrades, and overall atmosphere make Hillside Beach Club a place we’ll continue to return to. It’s reassuring to see a resort not resting on its reputation but striving to improve

Had a fantastic stay here and would highly recommend for either families or couples. The choice and quality of the food were excellent. The adult/silent beaches were lovely. The nightly entertainment for both adults and children were a real plus. An excellent kids club. Amazing location with lovely views. My only complaints are that the rooms could benefit from being modernised, and accessing the bathroom from outside was not ideal.

Hillside Beach Club HBC💎: A Diamond Standard in Hospitality Imagine an institution where guests transform into regulars, regulars evolve into loyal patrons, and these devoted patrons cherish the establishment even more than its own employees and executives—so much so that they voluntarily support and promote it. HBC 💎 is precisely such a place. In fact, after Rolex, it holds the second-longest waiting list in the world. This rarity is one of the defining elements that elevate it to the diamond standard. Consider this: more than 40,000 individuals are on the waiting list just to experience the HBC 💎 phenomenon, with new names continuously being added each year. But HBC 💎 is more than just a luxury retreat; it is an extraordinary sanctuary designed to elevate human consciousness while offering a profoundly joyous and fulfilling experience. It is the only place of its kind in the world. What makes HBC 💎 truly exceptional goes beyond its breathtaking setting. It is about its philosophically curated design, the artful presentation of comfort and hospitality, and a meticulously crafted approach to luxury and well-being. Yet, this is not the ostentatious extravagance of Russian oligarchs, nor the overindulgent luxury of oil-rich sheikhs. Instead, it is a refined, minimalist, and intellectually elevated form of luxury—one that resonates with human consciousness and a high level of discernment. Understanding HBC 💎 requires an advanced state of awareness and intelligence, for it has been designed from such a perspective. Here, you will find no excess, no meaningless embellishments. Everything unnecessary has been stripped away. What remains are elements of substance, depth, and intentionality—features that serve human consciousness and civilization. The entire concept is in harmony with human progress and evolution, making HBC 💎 more than a resort—it is a manifestation of an advanced civilization. The People Behind the Excellence This vision is upheld and continuously refined by an exceptional team, composed of individuals who are not just professionals but true custodians of excellence. Every team member has been carefully selected, embodying the highest standards of hospitality. Among those I had the pleasure of encountering more frequently during my stay—perhaps due to my daily routines—was Duygu Devrim who provided outstanding support for reservations and accommodations, regardless of where in the world I was reaching out from. My deepest gratitude to her. I also owe my discovery of HBC 💎 to someone who insisted that I experience it, believing it was a perfect fit for me. This person, whom I had contacted from New York, convinced me to change my plans from Italy to Turkey—a decision that turned out to be a remarkable revelation. During my stay, I also had the honor of meeting Özgür Aktaş, a world-renowned chef, a friend, and a true philosopher of gastronomy. His deep understanding of culinary philosophy, mastery of vertical integration in foo

My hubby and I had an amazing time at Hillside. It was our first visit to the resort, I can see why people return year after year. The setting is breathtakingly beautiful. The way the hotel is designed guarantees an amazing view no matter which direction you look in. The rooms are basic but functional. The bed is huge and very comfortable. The housekeeping staff do an excellent job keeping the room spotless, especially as they have many steps to climb in warm weather. The buffet restaurant is one of the best I’ve ever encountered. There is so much to choose from and everything is fresh and delicious. All the staff in the restaurant are friendly, hardworking and attentive. We also ate in Pacha and The Italian restaurant. The food and service were fantastic. My only complaint would be that there are far too many courses and the portions are large. We were both too full to eat our mains and dessert. All 3 beaches are stunning. The sea is crystal clear and clean. Sun loungers were very comfy and well maintained. We loved being able to order drinks from our sunbeds, this is ideal when on a lazy holiday. The entertainment was brilliant. There was something different on offer every evening and lots of activities to participate in throughout the day. The entertainment staff were friendly and approachable without being overbearing. We did 2 boat trips from the resort. One was a full day excursion - I would 100% recommend this for a great day out at sea. We had the opportunity to jump off the boat and swim in the open sea. Food and drink was included in the price of the trip which made it very good value for money. We also did the sunset boat cruise which was stunning. I’ve never seen a sunset so beautiful. It took my breath away. The staff on the boat are fantastic. They were attentive and informative. 10/10 for their service. We aren’t a couple who return to a resort. We prefer to try new destinations and hotels, but Hillside is definitely somewhere we would consider visiting again. Thanks for an amazing holiday to all the staff at Hillside.
