About the home

The apartment and complex are ideal for couples, families with children and golfing groups.

The apartment is in a quiet area of the complex, and with very quick access to all the facilities. It is built and equipped to a very high standard, and sleeps up to 6 adults or children plus a baby in a travel cot (provided). We can also provide a highchair and a group 0+ Britax car seat. The bedrooms have plentiful storage space for 6 people and the kitchen has more than enough cooking utensils and crockery. The 20 sq m terrace looks out onto open land and has a gate opening onto a secluded grassed area of the complex. The terrace is equipped with table and chairs and sun loungers.

The complex is magnificent, with a large pool surrounded by sun loungers and a separate children’s pool. There’s also an indoor pool - ideal for the cooler winter months and also to cool down out of the sun in high summer. The floodlit tennis court and indoor air-conditioned gym are useful to fitter guests while the café /bar, pool table and children’s indoor play area are popular with others.

There is also free wifi.

There are many shops and restaurants within a few minutes’ walk of the apartment and Side old town, with its archaeological ruins and amphitheatre, is easy to walk to as is the beach. The neighbourhood is clean, quiet and friendly.

Belek's 6 championship golf courses are less than 30 minutes drive away and there is also some wonderful scenery a short drive away.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
After years of renting holiday places with limited storage facilities, not quite enough kitchen ware, and so on, we've equipped our apartment to the level of comfort we prefer.

The living area has two large comfortable sofas, both of which convert into beds. It also has a DVD/CD player and a TV which receives UK, German and French satellite channels.

The dining area has a large table and 6 chairs.

The kitchen is extremely well equipped, so you can cook for yourselves with ease if you don’t feel like eating out all the time.

The two bedrooms have twin beds, that you can put together to form a king if you prefer. Both bedrooms have wardrobes, drawer units, bedside tables and lamps, large mirrors and so on.

The bedding and towels are all of good quality and in colours in keeping with the decor of the apartment.

Both the en-suite bathroom and the main bathroom have washbasin, shower and wc; and the main bathroom has a large corner Jacuzzi bath too!

Both bedrooms and the living room are heated and air-conditioned.

Further details outdoors:
The complex is beautifully landscaped with an unusual amount of open space and mature trees, flower beds, lawns, fountains and statues.

You can sunbathe around the pools, on the roof terraces or on the apartment's private terraces - or go to the beach of course.

The outdoor and indoor swimming pools are large enough to swim in, as well as lounge around it. Use of the loungers and parasols is complimentary.

There's a wide range of activities in the complex including: floodlit tennis court, well-equipped gym, pool table, table tennis, indoor play area for small children and a cafe/bar.

You can book excursions with pick-up from the complex: including Aquapark, boat trips, jeep safari, archaelogical ruins, city centre shopping trips and so on.

There are secure golf lockers near the entrance to the complex to save you carrying your clubs to the apartment.

Further details

English speaking representatives are available 24 hours a day.

Cafe/bar on-site in season.

Free shuttle bus to beach (only short walk, but in really hot weather is great to have transport).

Conditions

Credit card payments accepted.

The Mediterranean Coast region

The coast around Side has long sandy beaches, crystal blue seas and picturesque harbours. The beach has been awarded the prestigious blue flag by the EU and the several mile long stretch is renowned for its clear water. Moving further along the coast in both directions you’ll also find areas where the cliffs tumble into the sea, many pretty villages and the archaeological remains of classical cities. Behind the coast are areas of lush vegetation and also the Taurus mountains where in the winter months you can reach ski slopes within an hour and a half.

You can book many excursions leaving from Side including white water rafting, horse riding, scuba diving, boat trips, fishing, and jeep safaris. If you hire a car it’s easy and safe to drive and explore on your own. You can also play golf at one of the 6 championship golf courses only 30 minutes drive away (tee times bookable from the UK).

The Side area

Side (pronounced See-day) dates back to the Roman Empire when it was a very important trading port, and a trysting place of Anthony and Cleopatra. The archaeological remains are much in evidence, and very accessible. Side's beautiful well preserved amphitheatre is still used for concerts during the summer months, with a music festival taking place during the month of September.

There’s easy access to two long sandy beaches where you can enjoy the many water-based activities from pedaloes to parasailing, lounge on the beach or sit in a beachside café and watch the world go by.

Holidaying in Side is easy and comfortable. The people are friendly and hospitable and almost everyone speaks enough English. There are pavement cafes and chic restaurants; colourful markets selling exotic wares and spices and convenience stores for day to day necessities. Here is all the mystery of the East with the reliability and familiarity of Europe.

“Excellent apartment in the historical town of Side” We stayed at this apartment for 8 days in August. It is a large apartment, very clean and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The complex has a lovely swimming pool, gym and is very quiet and relaxing. It also has 24 hour security. The staff at the Oasis complex are all very helpful and we also arranged transfers to and from the airport without any problems. There are several bars, restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. I do think the apartment would suit people who are quite active as it is a fair walk to the historical part of Side and the beach. We would not hesitate to book this apartment again if we were to return to Side in the future.

“Beautiful, well appointed appartment in lovely development. Lots to see and do in the area.” We rented this appartment for 3 weeks and it was a comfortable home from home. The airport pick up and reception at the property worked smoothly. The appartment is lovely, furnished to a high standard. The pool area was lovely and the whole complex was immaculate. The staff were friendly and helpful. The old town of Side is beautiful - about 15TL in a taxi to get there. We ate in local restaurants most evenings and went into the old town a couple of times a week. There is plenty to do and see in the area if you can tear yourself away from the pool and there is a free bus service to the beach. We hired a jeep for a few days and toured the area and went on a number of trips. There's plenty of places we didn't manage to visit and others that we want to revisit, so we will be back. All in all, this was a wonderful holiday in a great appartment. The renter and staff at Oasis were friendly and very helpful and I give them my full recommendation.

Guestbook for Portakal Corner, Oasis

"What a true Oasis! The apartment and complex are immaculate." - Rob and Lisa, Surrey

This is our 5th visit to Side, we love it here, and this is by far the nicest place we have stayed (including 5* hotel) - The C's

Your apartment is lovely. We really liked being on the ground floor and slightly away from the pool area with the benefit of access to the garden area, with tortoises to complete the picture. The transfer arrangements went very smoothly. We were met as we arrived at the exit point and picked up punctually in time for our return home. The staff at Oasis are outstanding, always helpful without being overbearing. Many thanks for all your help - we will definitely be re-booking for another visit. - Anne and Peter
