Calyptus Kirman Premium is one of the newer, glossier family resorts in Kumkoy, with a nine-slide aqua park, a heated children's aqua park for cooler days, a kids club, a cinema and even a nostalgia tram circling the grounds. An underground shuttle takes you to a private sandy beach, and the whole thing is aimed squarely at families who want a five-star feel without Belek prices.
Our verdict
Calyptus Kirman Premium is a strong modern choice for families in Side: a proper aqua park, a heated kids pool for cooler weeks, comfortable rooms and enough extras to fill rainy afternoons. You give up a beachfront setting, but the value against Belek is real.
The rooms
As a resort that opened in 2021, the rooms are modern and well kept, with spacious family categories and kid-friendly touches throughout. Cots and bed rails are free on request, and the larger family rooms give parents a bit of separation from an early bedtime, which matters over a full week.

Parents also ask
How new is the resort?
It opened in 2021, so the rooms, pools and aqua park are modern and well maintained, which shows in the finish compared with some older Side properties.
Is there water fun for cooler months?
Yes, there is a heated children's aqua park alongside the main nine-slide park, so young children can still swim comfortably in the shoulder season when open-air pools are too cool.
How do we get to the beach?
A private sandy beach is reached via an underground shuttle from the resort, which keeps the walk safe and shaded but does mean planning beach trips around the service.
Is there anything for a rainy afternoon?
Yes, there is an on-site cinema and indoor spaces, plus the heated indoor and children's pools, so a rare cool or wet afternoon does not stall the whole holiday.
