Sunis Kumkoy Beach is a well-liked beachfront all-inclusive right on the sand west of Side, with water slides, two mini clubs, a kids pool and a long, shallow, sandy beach that is genuinely good for young children. Six à la carte restaurants keep the food interesting, and the walkable Kumkoy strip and old town are close, so you are not sealed in for the week.
Our verdict
Sunis Kumkoy Beach is a reliable all-rounder for families who prioritise a genuinely good sandy beach over a giant aqua park: shallow water, a kids pool, two mini clubs and varied food, all a short walk from the Kumkoy strip. A safe, sensible Side choice with babies and toddlers.
The rooms
Rooms are bright and comfortable, many with balconies over the pools or sea, with family categories that take four without a squeeze. Cots are free on request, and the beachfront position means short walks back for naps rather than a trek across sprawling grounds.

Parents also ask
Is the beach good for toddlers?
Yes, this is one of Kumkoy's strengths: a long, wide, sandy beach with shallow, gentle access straight from the resort, which is reassuring for paddling babies and toddlers.
How big are the water slides?
The resort has water slides and several pools rather than a giant multi-slide aqua park, which is fine for most families but worth knowing if your kids want the biggest slides in Side.
Are the kids clubs free?
Yes, the two mini clubs are included and run from May to September with English-speaking staff, alongside a children's pool and playground for younger guests.
Can we walk into town?
Yes, the resort sits on the walkable Kumkoy strip with shops and cafes, and Side old town is a short taxi or dolmus ride away for an evening out.
