Sunmelia Beach is a five-star ultra all-inclusive in Kizilagac known for a big pool complex and an aqua park with plenty of slides, plus a private beach and a kids club. Further east toward Alanya, it trades a walkable location for space and value, and it is a dependable pick for families who mainly want water, sun and fixed costs.
Our verdict
Sunmelia Beach is a good-value five-star for families who want plenty of water and space without paying flagship prices. You are further from Side town, but the big pools, aqua park and free kids club deliver a straightforward, fixed-cost family week.
The rooms
Rooms are comfortable and family-oriented, with categories that fit four and a private-beach position that keeps things simple. Cots are available on request, and the generous pool complex means you rarely need to go far from your room for a swim.

Parents also ask
How good is the water offer?
It is a real strength: a large pool complex with several pools plus an aqua park with numerous slides and a children's pool, so there is water for every age across a lot of space.
Is it far from Side town?
Yes, it sits in Kizilagac, further east toward Alanya, so there is little within walking distance and the airport transfer is around 75 minutes; plan on staying in the resort or taking taxis for outings.
Is the kids club included?
Yes, the kids club is part of the all-inclusive rate, with supervised activities, alongside a children's pool and playground for younger guests.
Is it good value for a five-star?
Generally yes. For a five-star ultra all-inclusive with this much water and space, the nightly price is friendly; food and service are solid rather than luxurious, in line with what you pay.
