Sunis Efes Royal Palace Resort & Spa is a resort and spa hotel in the Özdere neighbourhood of Menderes, on the coast south of İzmir. Kuyubükü Beach and Özdere Harbour are a short drive away, and the ancient sites of Claros and Notion are within easy reach by car as well. The hotel belongs to a small cluster of coastal properties: Club Sideris, Aria Claros Beach & Spa Resort and Onyria Claros Beach & Spa Resort are all a short walk from here.
Resort grounds like these can spread over a wide area, so your driver takes you straight to the main reception rather than a side entrance, and your suitcases arrive at the desk with you. The transfer is private and door to door, the driver waits at arrivals with a name sign, and the price is fixed when you book.
Distances as the crow flies; walking times are estimates.
