What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Hidayet Bay is praised for its stunningly clear, calm waters and friendly staff, making it a top choice for swimming and relaxation in Kaş. While some find it pricey for facilities and food, the natural beauty and potential for sea turtle sightings are significant draws. It's a popular spot, especially for younger adults, and offers excellent conditions for families and divers.
"One of the best spots to swim and have a day-fun with friends. The crowd is mostly young adults and boozy. Musics are just fine, it’s not as loud and intrusive as locals believe it is.
The staff… Incredibly polite, helpful and friendly. I saw some comments about staff being rude, a flat out lie. Politest staff we have seen in Kas.
We liked the food, Hidayet Burger is tasty.
The location isn’t great. The beach is halfway through “the peninsula” and there is a minibus for every hours. Hours are a bit chaotic and the steep ramp to the high road doesn’t help.
I wish they would cease to use plastic straws. It’s sad to see so many people sip their drinks just by the water from huge plastic straws."

"The best beach club in Kaș 😍
Comfy sunbeds, nice chill music that doesn’t bother, crystal clear water without waves.
Good infrastructure, cabins, showers, many parking spots. However if you arrive in the afternoon, it will be hard to find a parking spot, so you might pay 100TL for their parking.
Highly recommend!"

"We had a lovely time here. The water is amazing! 2 sunbeds + umbrella were 400 tll. We had smoothies (blackberry one was great), iced latte (proper and very well done). We spent the day relaxing here. Showers available. You can come down and swim without paying but we recommend the facilities. Can get quite busy in the afternoon. Overall great experience!"
