City of Side: Q Spa & Wellness with Balinese or Thai Massage

Imagine a peaceful oasis just outside of the bustling town of Side, where you can unwind with a comprehensive spa experience that combines traditional Turkish methods with gentle, full-body massages. At around $120 per person for 2 to 3 hours, you’ll enjoy hotel pickup, soaking in a turkish bath, and indulging in massages, facials, and refreshments. It’s a perfect escape for anyone craving a bit of pampering with authentic touches.

What we love about this experience is how detailed and balanced it is—offering both culture and genuine relaxation. The peeling and foam massage are especially notable for their skin-renewing effects, while the full-body Balinese or Thai massage provides a soothing, rhythmic touch that leaves you feeling renewed. Plus, the hotel pickup makes it effortless to relax from the moment you step out of your room.

One thing to keep in mind is that the experience is limited to small groups (up to 4 participants), which means more personalized attention but could also mean booking ahead to secure your spot.

Reviewers describe the massage as “professional and good”, with one noting that it helped them unwind completely, “leaving me in a state of pure bliss.” The oil used is nourishing, and the massage aims to release residual tension, easing muscles and calming the mind.
