Nomad Boutique Hotel Side - Adults Only

Breakfast was at their parent hotel, about a five-minute walk away, and had traditional Turkish fare like bread, meat, vegetables, and eggs. There was also a discount on food and drinks if you ate there in the evening. We liked the stay enough to add two more nights. The hotel is almost beside the sea in Side, with a boutique feel and no children, which made for a relaxed atmosphere. Mehmet and his team were friendly, knew the area well, and arranged airport transfers and car hire at a good price. Our room had a coffee maker, TV, fridge, and Bluetooth speaker, plus a very large, comfortable bed.

The staff were kind and helpful, and even made us laugh along the way. The hotel ended up saving our trip. It’s a calm, romantic, beautiful spot, a great fit if you’re not after a party-hard kind of holiday.

We had plenty of room for the two of us, and really liked the layout of the shared area. The place was cute and welcoming. We were passing through Side for a couple of days, and could easily walk into town from here. It was also away from all the hotels on the north side. Breakfast was included at their sister restaurant, and I can’t recommend it enough.

We stayed three nights in September '24. The beach is a minute's walk away, and the hotel provides free beach towels. Sunbeds cost 100 lira a day, but Nomad refunds half if you keep your ticket. We simply left our towels on a rock and went back to the room after a swim, it’s so close for a dip before breakfast. Our room was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable, the shower very good, and the aircon worked well. Turkish breakfast was included and had a good spread. Tea and filter coffee were included, but orange juice and cappuccino cost extra, which felt a little mean given the room price. Otherwise, everything was great. As others have said, you can't park your own car anywhere nearby, though a taxi or transfer can drop you at reception. I believe they planned to open the restaurant for evening meals, perhaps in 2025, once they got their alcohol license. Side old town is lovely, but restaurant prices there are very high compared with other parts of Turkey.
