Side-Turkey.

Often called the "Turkish Maldives", Suluada is an uninhabited island off the Adrasan coast where the sea shifts through every shade of turquoise you can imagine. If you are searching for the perfect Suluada boat tour from Antalya, you are in the right place: this small island delivers powdery sand, crystal-clear water and a calm, away-from-the-crowds feeling that is increasingly rare on the Mediterranean. In this guide we share honest, on-the-ground advice so your day on the water is everything you hoped for.

Why Suluada Is Worth the Trip

Suluada (literally "Watery Island") sits within a protected area, which is exactly why its bays stay so clean and vivid. There are no shops, no music bars and no concrete – just nature. That is the whole point.

• Unreal water colour: shallow sandbanks create that famous bright-turquoise glow.
• Peaceful swim stops: several anchoring bays mean fewer crowds in the water.
• Untouched scenery: pine-covered hills meet the sea with no development in sight.
• Great for photos: golden-hour light over the bays is genuinely cinematic.

What a Typical Day Looks Like

Most tours depart from the picturesque fishing village of Adrasan, around 1.5 hours from the Antalya/Side area. We handle hotel pickup so you can simply relax.

• Morning transfer from your hotel to Adrasan harbour.
• Boarding a comfortable boat and cruising toward Suluada.
• Multiple swim and snorkel stops in the island's bays.
• A freshly prepared on-board lunch.
• Free time to sunbathe, swim and take photos.
• Relaxed return cruise and transfer back to your hotel.

Who This Tour Suits Best

• Couples wanting a romantic, scenic day.
• Families – the calm bays are friendly for confident young swimmers.
• Photographers and anyone chasing those turquoise-water shots.
• Travellers who prefer nature and quiet over loud party boats.

Honest Things to Know Before You Go

We believe you should know exactly what to expect, with no surprises:

• Suluada has no facilities: bring water, sunscreen and a hat. Everything you need for the day is on the boat.
• Weather matters: if the sea is rough, the captain may adjust the route or swim stops for your safety – quality and safety are never compromised.
• It is a protected island: landing rules can change seasonally, so swimming is often from the boat in the bays rather than on shore.
• Bring reef-safe sunscreen to help keep this special place pristine.
