Sometimes a little time on land is called for, and while spending time on the yacht is great, an afternoon sipping cocktails on a sundrenched shore can really raise the holiday spirit. The Turquoise Coast boasts many high-end hotels and beachside hideaways ideal for those looking to relax or party on the sand. Here’s a quick look at a few of the best beach clubs in Türkiye to visit this season.

XUMA Beach Club, Yalikavak

We have mentioned Xuma Beach Club several times in our newsletters and posts. Conveniently located within easy reach of Yalikavak Marina, it’s a great place to relax during the day or party at night. As the sun shines the vibe is laid-back, with comfy loungers, tasty and varied food options and yoga and pilates lessons going on in the background. After 5 pm, the mood changes, and the DJ starts warming up for sunset as the nighttime party crowd arrive. Xuma attracts the locals and the Istanbul elite, so it does get busy, especially during high season and at weekends. (Xuma Website)

Sea Me Beach, Fethiye

Sea Me Beach is a  boho-chic beach club nested into Büyük Boncuklu Koyu, a glorious private bay on the Fethiye peninsula. The setting is laid-back and dreamy, with lots of rattan and designer driftwood furniture, tipis, cabanas, and oversized beach cushions for relaxing. Unlike most beach clubs along the coast, the beach has a family and an adults-only section so it suits most guests. It’s a place where you can relax on daybeds or sip margaritas as you enjoy a tasty snack or main from the varied menu. Sea Me Beach is a wonderful place to stare at the blues of the bay or catch the reds of the famous Turkish sunset. (Sea Me Beach Website)

Family-friendly Help Beach Club is one of the most popular private beaches on the Fethiye peninsula, so reservations are a must. It’s a quirky, hippy-chic beach club found just along from Sea Me Beach, tucked into the clear waters of Küçük Boncuklu Koyu. The HELP beach style is different, with loungers spaced along the sandy shore and a trendy restaurant and bar with big wooden dining booths shaded by sails and nets draped between the trees.
