By the Luxury Hotels Journal Editorial Desk · Updated
9 luxury hotels in Side, Manavgat, Antalya, Turkey have passed the Luxury Hotels Journal editorial board's checks: each is matched to its official website or its page on the brand's own website, and its luxury brand or alliance affiliation is confirmed by the brand's own website or hotel list (for alliances, by the hotel's official website); in Türkiye, a Ministry 5-star certificate also qualifies. Street addresses are shown only when they match the official website or Wikidata; areas follow official administrative divisions.
Hotels marked Ministry-certified 5-star hold a 5-star Tourism Operation Certificate (Turizm İşletmesi Belgesi) from the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Culture and Tourism; the certificate number is shown and can be checked in the Ministry's official register. They are listed alongside hotels verified through a luxury brand or alliance.
Side is the neighbourhood (mahalle) given in these hotels' address records (OpenStreetMap); OpenStreetMap has no boundary for it, so it is listed under Manavgat.
