Antalya Airport to Side Star Elegance Transfer

Side Star Elegance is a hotel set on the coast near Side, in the popular Belek and Side holiday region of Turkey's Mediterranean shore. It is the kind of place where guests base themselves for a relaxed beach holiday, with the sea, the resort facilities and the surrounding area all within easy reach.

Visitors are drawn to this part of the coast for its long sandy and pebbly beaches, its warm summers and mild shoulder seasons, and its closeness to the old town of Side with its harbour, restaurants and ancient ruins. The hotel's position makes it a comfortable base for both quiet days by the water and short trips out to explore.

Because so much is close at hand, many guests simply arrange their airport transfer in advance and let the rest of the holiday take shape once they have settled in.

From Antalya Airport the drive to Side Star Elegance covers about 65 km and usually takes around 60 minutes, depending on traffic and the time of day. The route heads east from the airport on the main coastal highway, passing the Belek area before continuing towards Side, then turning onto local roads for the final approach to the hotel.

Most of the journey runs on a modern, well-maintained dual carriageway, so the ride is smooth and steady. Along the way you pass open countryside, pine and citrus groves and the green edges of the resort belt rather than busy city-centre streets.

Because it is a private door-to-door transfer, the car goes straight to the hotel entrance with no extra stops, drop-offs or detours unless you ask for one.

We offer two main vehicle types for this route. An economy car suits couples and small families and starts from €29 per vehicle one way. A Mercedes Vito minivan suits larger groups or guests with extra luggage and starts from €38 per vehicle one way.

Prices are per vehicle, not per person, and are fixed in advance, so the fare does not change with traffic or waiting time. Included as standard are a meet and greet with a name sign in arrivals, flight tracking so the driver adjusts to delays, and child seats on request at no extra cost.

There is no prepayment required. You pay the driver directly at the end of the ride, in cash or by card, whichever is easier for you.

When you book, it helps to give your flight number and the number of passengers and bags so the right vehicle is ready and waiting. If you are travelling with children, ask for child seats in advance and they will be fitted before you arrive.

Return transfers from the hotel back to Antalya Airport are easy to arrange at the same time as your arrival, and the driver will agree a pickup time that leaves a comfortable margin for check-in. For early flights this often means an early start, so it is worth confirming the time the evening before.

The old town of Side, with its harbour, ancient ruins and seafront restaurants, is only a short drive away and makes for an easy day out during your stay. Summer is the busiest time on this coast, so for a quieter trip the spring and autumn months can be a good choice.

After a long flight the last thing most travellers want is to hunt for a taxi or work out a shuttle timetable. With a private transfer your driver is already waiting when you land, so you walk straight from arrivals to the car.

The roughly 60-minute ride gives you time to relax and watch the coast go by before you reach Side Star Elegance, and because the car drops you at the entrance there is no extra walk with your luggage. This is especially welcome when you arrive late at night, early in the morning, or with tired children.

From the door it is just a short step to reception and check-in, so your holiday starts the moment you step out of the car.
