The hotel and its location
Away from the hotels of central Ilıca, Gaia by the Sea is a seafront boutique hotel of the Gaia Hotels group on the coast at Ardıç. Paşalimanı Beach is a short drive away, as are Ilıca Beach, the Ilıca Hot Springs and Oasis Aquapark. Aqua Toy City and Altınyunus Marina are a short drive too. The hotel suits guests who would rather stay by the water than on busier streets.
Groups of friends and extended families can travel together in a single larger vehicle instead of splitting across several cars. Each option on the booking page lists how many passengers and suitcases it takes. The driver meets the whole group at arrivals with a name sign and brings everyone straight to the hotel.
