Suluada Bay Antalya
Suluada, one of Antalya’s hidden paradises, offers a breathtaking natural beauty that resembles the Maldives with its crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine white sandy beaches. This small island, located in the middle of the Mediterranean, captivates visitors with its untouched nature, making it a perfect destination for those seeking tranquility and a close connection with nature.
Suluada is situated off the coast of Kumluca district in Antalya and gets its name from the freshwater sources found on the island. With no construction or settlements, it has preserved its natural beauty and can only be accessed via boat tours. Especially during the summer months, daily boat tours from Adrasan, Kemer, and Antalya city center provide an excellent opportunity to explore this stunning destination. The island is about a 40-minute boat ride away, allowing visitors to enjoy its crystal-clear waters and spend a peaceful day surrounded by nature.
Joining a boat tour to Suluada not only allows you to experience its beauty but also lets you explore other nearby coves and caves. One of the highlights of the tour is Love Cave, a fascinating natural formation that adds to the area's charm.
Suluada is not just about enjoying the sea; it also offers a great opportunity to explore underwater marine life. Snorkeling here lets you observe colorful fish, corals, and possibly even Caretta Caretta sea turtles. The crystal-clear waters make the diving experience even more special.
However, it is important to note that Suluada has no facilities, restaurants, or accommodation options. Therefore, visitors should bring enough water, snacks, and sunscreen for their trip.
