Kimera Lounge

From the moment we stepped onto the property of Kimera Lounge, we knew we were in for a very special week. I had chosen Kimera with the hopes that it would be the perfect location for two friends -- one from the USA and one from Russia -- to reunite after 8 years. And I was right. . . .

Arrival & Check-in
Even before we arrived, Cem, our vacation assistant, reached out to introduce himself and make sure all our needs and preferences were noted. This thoughtful gesture set the tone for an exceptional stay. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed, and Cem continued to provide outstanding support—answering our questions, arranging reservations, and ensuring every aspect of our trip was comfortable and enjoyable. His attentive, friendly care made a wonderful first impression.

Room Quality
As we would be staying for 6 days, I reserved the Bergamot Suite. Being able to have space to "live" rather than just "rest" made our time together so relaxing. It was beautifully designed with natural materials like wood and stone, creating a warm, organic atmosphere that blended perfectly with the tropical surroundings. We took advantage of the front porch in the mornings to catch the first rays of sun & have our morning tea, while seeking the privacy of the back patio for mid-afternoon soaks in the jacuzzi.

Service
Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and attentive, and Cem’s thoughtful service truly stood out. Requests were handled quickly, and the overall atmosphere felt genuinely caring.

Restaurant
Another standout feature was the amazing rooftop restaurant, Erizo. The cuisine was Michelin-quality, with beautifully crafted dishes and flavors that exceeded our expectations. The service was truly outstanding—knowledgeable, attentive, and perfectly polished—adding a sophisticated culinary experience to our stay. All our evening meals were taken at Erizo which afforded us the luxury of being able to try most, if not all, of the entrees, and each one was more delicious than the last. We found that having their complimentary, traditional (and delicious!) Turkish breakfast every morning kept us full and satisfied all day, and there was never any need to stop for lunch.

Location
Yes, it's a walk to the beach, but just across the road - not inconvenient in the least. Personally, I appreciated it's location as it's furthur down the beach from the busiest part of Çirali and wonderfully quiet (except for the roosters). The private beach was peaceful, spotless, and lined with comfortable cushioned chaise lounges, and there was never an issue finding one for the day. The beach area felt exclusive and serene, adding yet another layer of luxury to the stay.

Overall Impression
This hotel is a true tropical paradise. The beautifully manicured grounds, lush scenery, thoughtfully designed rooms, private beach, and exceptional dining all create an atmosphere that’s both relaxing and remarkable. Combined with the caring and proactive support from Cem, this is a destination I highly recommend to anyone seeking a serene, picturesque, and unforgettable getaway.

Heryer tertemizdi, çalışanlar güleryüzlüydü, kahvaltı nefisti.

The cost of staying here is quite high, but unfortunately the overall experience felt very average. From the start, the reception was disappointing – we checked in without receiving any information about breakfast times, restaurant location, pool access, or opening hours. There was little effort to engage with or guide the guests.
Our room also had an issue with the water, and we were unable to take a shower until we requested a room change. The staff should really focus on improving their service, being friendlier, and more customer-oriented.
On the positive side, the facilities are beautiful, the gardens and grounds are lovely, and the breakfast options were excellent – everything was fresh and delicious. However, most of the staff seemed stressed, tired, and not very attentive, providing service only when specifically asked.

Çıralıda verdiğiniz paranın karşılığını hizmet kalitesi ve konfor ile güleryüzlü işlerinde profesyonel personeller ile tam olarak alabileceğiniz tek konaklama noktası. Otel ayrı güzel restaurantı ayrı güzel.

The Kimera Hotel exceeded expectations for a boutique stay. Nestled away in a secluded location, it offered a peaceful escape from the busy, dusty surroundings. The reception was modern and inviting, with attentive staff creating a welcoming atmosphere.

The beach and sea views with mountain backdrops were stunning and around it was remarkably quiet, with lots of loungers near both the sea and poolside (though note, there are no beach showers).

Breakfast was varied and high-quality, served in a calm setting, while the upstairs restaurant provided a stylish dining experience with spectacular sunset views over the mountains. Rooms were immaculate and well-appointed, featuring spacious beds, a coffee machine, generous storage, and a large, beautifully equipped shower.

Eşim ve 2.5 aylık bebeğimiz ile 4 gece konakladık. Hemen hemen her şey mükemmeldi. Kahvaltı, Mr. Pepper’daki öğlen atıştırmalıkları ve Erizo Gastro&Bar’ın akşam yemekleri çok lezzetliydi. Sanırım normalde odalara yemek servisi yapılmıyor ama bebekli ve özel durumu olan misafirler için bu durumu esnetiyorlar. Bebeğimiz özellikle akşam saatlerinde huzursuz olduğu için akşam yemeklerini hep odaya söyledik. Otel genel olarak huzurlu. Peyzajı çok özenli yapılmış. Plaja çok yakın neredeyse dibinde. Çocuklu aileler için özellikle öneriyorum. Son olarak çalışanların hepsi güler yüzlü, ilgili ve işlerinde oldukça profesyoneller. Temas halinde olduğumuz bütün çalışanlardan çok memnun kaldık. Bu konuda işletmeyi ayrıca tebrik ediyorum. Tek negatif yorumum bolca sivrisinek olması. Ancak bu durumu doğayla bu kadar iç içe bir yerde nasıl çözebilirler bilemiyorum.

Not enough stars to fairly rate this stay! Service was phenomenal! Grounds and rooms are gorgeous! Beach and location stunning! Food was amazing! Would come back to this region just to stay here again!

Çalışanlar çok ilgiliydi. Masaj hizmeti çok iyiydi. Oda da güzeldi, fakat klima biraz yetersizdi.

Original holiday planned was 4 days on a boat tour around Gocek then 6 nights at the wakeboard park Hip-Notics. Both my sons injured themselves just before our holiday so we had to change our plans last minute. Where could we go between Gocek and Antalya?
A bit of a google search and looking at maps, led me to a couple of blogs on Cirali and onto Kimera Lounge. So pleased we booked here. We had an absolutely fantastic stay and totally embraced the chilled out vibe of Cirali.
We stayed in a two bedroom bungalow that was plenty big enough.
The pool is a great size and the beach is just across the road. My husband and I enjoyed a morning swim before breakfast every day, the sea is blissfully calm first thing.
The staff were excellent and extremely helpful in particular Farkun.
We ate breakfast and a number of lunches at the hotel. We didn't eat dinner as it was above our budget and there are plenty of places to eat at in town (Cirali restaurant right in the centre of town was probably our favourite, Azur on the beach good in the evening too, most of our dinners with wine came to around £50 for all 4 of us). The lunches we had in the hotel were excellent so I can imagine that dinner would be good too.
Lots of families staying in August with mainly young children, which meant we could relax when our two teen sons played with a ball in the pool (no adult only vibes here).
We all used the spa (they offer treatments to over 12's) and the prices for treatments are affordable. The peeling & foam experience was amazing. Highly recommend.
We wanted to do the canyoning and visit the restaurants with booths in the water but the rivers were all completely dry. We did visit the natural flames of Chimaera and did a days scuba with Olympos Diving. There is not much to see in the way of fish in this area but the underwater topography is pretty amazing.
We hired bikes from eco-bike for the duration of our stay and we loved that too. ''Smile more, ride a bike in Cirali'' is eco-bikes moto and I couldn't agree more, loved pootling about the area on my blue bike with basket!
We were worried that this area might be too quiet for this active family but boy we were wrong, we totally embraced relaxing and loved that this area is completely undeveloped.
100% recommend.
Oh and there are no sunbed hoggers here...unlike our experience in Antalya! Sunbeds would be available what ever the time of day.

This is a small luxury hotel embedded in nature. It’s seems suitable for a relaxing experience or family gathering.

Great size pool and access to beach which is 1 minute walk and has dedicated sun beds.

Staff are great and very helpful. Food is also very nice whether at breakfast, lunch or dinner which has live music.

A variety of rooms available that are nice with good size. I stayed in the orange room which was nice, and would also recommend the next tier room which has bigger size.

Don’t be fooled by the small size of the hotel. This is a luxury but cozy hotel.

It is really nice and neat place. Highly recommended.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in this hotel and we did not want to leave! The staff was so friendly and attentive: I received a whatsupessage one day prior to our arrival, asking us whether we needed any help or taxi transfer from
Antalya. During our stay we got advice on the sightseeing places. My husband lost this diary at the hotel, and they contacted us after our departure to say they found it,
The territory of the hotel looked like a tropical paradise, very green and clean, with blooming trees and bushes and a wonderful smell of the flowers from orange trees.
The outdoor swimming pool was not open yet, and we did not try the spa/hammam either, but the sea was warm
enough to swim and we were also kindly allowed to use the spa center shower after check out and spending time on the beach.
The beach was beautiful and peaceful, One day we got up early to see the sunrise.
The hotel restaurant was above our expectations. Traditional
Turkish breakfast with many dishes includee and also
to choose from. We had dinner at the hotel every evening as it was delicious and reasonably priced.
Thank you so much for ypur hospitality!

Bizi karşılayıp yakından ilgilenen Turgay beye, yemek ve kahvaltıda eşlik eden başta Okan bey ve tüm ekibe çok teşekkür ediyoruz. Odanın konforu, otelin mimarisi, peyzaj ve kısacası her şey mükemmeldi, kusur bulamadım.

We had decided to break away our hectic working schedule and went to Kimera. Even the hotel was one of the oldest hotel in Cirali but design of the the rooms was modern and pretty good. I could say I’m aesthetically oriented person. And Kimera was the right place to stay for me. The room amenities was good quality. The hotel has SPA and open pool in the garden which is surrounded by fruit and orange trees. In the garden, hammocks and cozy seatings ready to relax. Their restaurant “El Erizo” food deserves a special mention too. The restaurant was authentic and the taste of food was very delicious. Their staff is so polite and courteous. Mr. Turgay and all the hotel staff made our stay so memorable. Absolutely gorgeous place to visit&stay.

Cirali was our first stop during a road trip along the south coast of Turkey.

Kamira Lounge is conveniently located along the main strip next to the beach. Its grounds are stunning and have been beautifully landscaped with a variety of trees and colourful flowers.

The breakfast is absolutely delicious with a choice of traditional Turkish dishes. We especially enjoyed the spicy eggs and peppers, and our daughters loved the pancakes with fresh fruit. Dinner at the restaurant on the terrace was fabulous too, especially the evening where there was a live singer.

The pool is a decent size, it’s very peaceful and most of the time we were the only people swimming in it.

I also had an amazing massage at the spa and would highly recommend a visit.

We walked along the beach to Olympos, hot going, but well worth the effort.

Every aspect of Kamira Lounge was perfect, my only regret is that we only stayed for two nights.

I enjoyed every minute of my stay in the Kimera Lounge Hotel in Cirali Beach when I was staying in there for a week with my best friend in August 2023. The hotel’s grounds look a lot larger than they do online and all of the rooms and suites look lovely with all of their decor including their bathrooms and they all come with patios that offer plenty of shade from the sun. The pool is lovely also. The hotel is very quiet, clean and relaxing and they offer their guests great customer service which also includes the wonderful customer service in their restaurants.

Furkan who works at the front desk is absolutely wonderful, polite and always very helpful. Furkan even bought me some contact lens solution and I paid him back for it and he arranged for my best friend and I to go up to see the ‘chimera’ flames in the rocks in the hills and mountains nearby in the Cirali area during one evening.

The Kimera Lounge Hotel has three restaurants El Erizo, Mr Peppers and Olives. I only ate at Olives the hotel’s restaurant that serves the breakfast and Mr Peppers that serves lunch and dinner.

Olives has a wonderful breakfast menu and I enjoyed trying different items from their menu as well as eating their delicious traditional Turkish breakfast every morning and they served delicious coffee. I ordered vegetable udon noodles and fries from the Mr Peppers restaurant for dinner once and everything was very tasty.

My best friend and I were staying in one of the Kimera Lounge Hotel’s ‘Kamkat’ rooms and our hotel room was very clean and had a lovely air conditioning unit inside of it that kept us very cool. The room has a closet with an in room safe, hangers, robes and slippers, a fully stocked minibar, a kettle, cups, saucers, glasses, instant coffee packets, tea bags, free bottles of water, a flat screen TV and the lovely looking bathroom offers a lot of toiletries for guests including jars filled with shower caps, emery boards to file your nails with and cotton pads to remove makeup with and all of those jars were always refilled.

Beautiful Cirali Beach is right across the small road from the Kimera Lounge Hotel thankfully where the hotel has plenty of sun beds and umbrellas and the hotel has a small bar right by the sun beds where they can order drinks.

My best friend loved the spa at the Kimera Lounge Hotel where she had a neck massage and she said that their spa services are reasonably priced and that the customer service in the spa was very good.

The Kimera Lounge Hotel is surrounded by other hotels, B&Bs or guesthouses that are called ‘pansiyons’, restaurants, cafes and some small grocery stores and fruit stands. Their next door neighbors are Esralina Pansiyon, Maki Inn and not too far down the road Salih Pansiyon which all serve absolutely delicious food in all of their restaurants for lunch and dinner.

When my best friend and I checked out very early in the morning before the Kimera Lounge Hotel’s breakfast time, Furkan arranged for some cheese and lettuce sandwiches, fruits, orange juice and bottled water for us to take away with us and he offered us some coffee. Then Furkan drove us up to the main road in Cirali so that we could get on the bus that was driving back to the Otogar bus station in Antalya.

I’ll always remember gorgeous, quiet and relaxing Cirali Beach / Olympos Beach very fondly and I’ll always absolutely adore the Kimera Lounge Hotel and all of my time that I spent there during the summer.

Beautiful property, just loved being there staff were all amazing especially our assistant Furkan, amazing service and always helping us with bookings, queries and dropping us off places at the drop of a hat, one of my favourite places!!

Stayed there for 10 days, it was one of the best vacations ever. Quiet, far from the typical Turkish buzz, great food and good service.
The night sky pays off all other inconvenience.

We had an incredible stay! The food is outstanding and the staff are wonderful and helpful. The property is magnificent with beautiful plants and flowers at every turn. The service is top notch and clearly the management has trained the team to provide world-class service.

AWESOME
