Hillside Beach Club: Room With a Soothing Seaview

The view, light & peaceful landscape! 

After a long journey – my first flight landed at midnight, followed by the boarding of my second flight at 4 a.m. – I decide to spend the next three hours in the coffee at the airport arrivals. What a surprise, a nice waitress and an outlet to recharge my laptop!      

Once seated on the plane to Fethiye, we wait more than an hour before taking off, lulled by the hysterical cries of a  temperamental kid! A nightmare!    

So you can imagine THE pleasure when early afternoon I finally open the door of my room at Hillside Beach Club! I am immediately caught by the sight (pictures 1 & 2)!

Difficult not feeling on holiday!

Every details, materials and colors of the decoration (recently renovated) encourage a certain indolence which frees the mind.                   

Offering free Wifi throughout the club, me and my computer (digital nomads) declare the couch facing the sea: our new workspace (picture 1)!              

We can access to the bathroom (very well equipped wirh separated toilets) through the terrace. The bathrobes are soft and I loved the detail of wooden curtain, with eyes that protect from bad luck (pictures 4 & 5).   

Each day, the maids creates a small flower arrangement, like the bougainvillea flowers in heart shape on the bed! Thank you for this delicate attention that have put me in a great mood!

Homely contemporary decor

White walls and comfortable huge bed, facing the soothing view to the landscape. Some nights, I could admire the starry sky or the moon reflection on the sea from my bed wedged into soft pillows!       

This allowed me to avoid mosquitoes (through the bay window closed). Everywhere they love me! But here, much less than in Poland for example, LOL! 

I also enjoyed the lighting with dimmer, plugs everywhere, including on each side of the bed, and behind sliding doors, a discreet large dressing with a long mirror.

Hillside Beach Club: une chambre avec vue sur la mer

Hillside Beach Club-Turkey-Fethiye-Room-Seaview-11-Photo Mademoiselle Le K-copyright 2014

La vue, la lumière, paisible paysage!

Après un long voyage – premier vol atterrissant à minuit, suivi de l’embarquement à 4 du mat. du second vol – je passe ces trois heures dans le café des arrivées de l’aéroport. Ô surprise : serveuse sympa et même une prise pour recharger mon portable!

Une fois assise dans l’avion pour Fethiye, nous attendons plus d’une heure sur le tarmac avant de décoller, bercés par les cris hystériques d’un gamin ultra caractériel! Cauchemardesque!

Alors vous imaginez LE plaisir, lorsqu’en début d’après-midi j’ouvre enfin la porte de ma chambre au Hillside Beach Club! Suis immédiatement happée par la vue (photos 1 & 2)!

Difficile de ne pas se sentir en vacances.

Chaque détail, matériaux et couleurs de la décoration (récemment rénovée) incitent à une certaine indolence qui libère l’esprit.

Bénéficiant d’une connexion Wi-Fi dans tout le club, mon ordi et moi (digital nomads), déclarons le canapé face à la mer : notre nouvel espace de travail (photo 1)!

On accède à la salle de bain (très bien équipée et WC séparés), par la terrasse. Les peignoirs sont doux et j’ai beaucoup aimé le détail du rideau en bois, avec les yeux qui protègent du mauvais sort (photos 4 & 5).

Chaque jour, les femmes de ménage réalisent une petite composition florale, comme ces fleurs de bougainvillier en forme de cœur sur le lit! Merci pour cette délicate attention qui m’as mise d’excellente humeur!

La décoration joue la simplicité : actuelle et accueillante. 

Murs blancs et lit immense et très confortable, face à l’apaisante vue (dans l’axe du canapé de la terrasse). Certains soirs, j’ai pu admirer le ciel étoilé ou le reflet de la lune sur la mer, depuis mon lit calée dans de moelleux oreillers!.

Ce qui m’a permis d’éviter les moustiques (grâce à la baie vitrée fermée) : partout ils m’aiment beaucoup trop! Mais ici, nettement moins qu’en Pologne par exemple, LOL! 

Autres détails importants : l’éclairage avec variateur d’intensité, des prises partout, y compris de chaque côté du lit, ainsi qu’un large dressing avec un long miroir, discret derrière des portes coulissantes.

Scuba Diving @ The Hillside Beach Club, in Fethyie, Turkey

Hillside Beach Club-Turkey-Fethiye-Scuba Diving-Refresher-3A-Blog-Mademoisellelek.com

I haven’t dived for ages!

What an indescribable pleasure! Invited by the Hillside Beach Club in Fehtiye, I enjoyed to do a scuba diving refresher and a “real” dive during my stay.      

When I enter the water after the theoretical part of the refresher, I feel some apprehension (unbelievable!) and hesitate. What if I couldn’t remember the right gesture … I’m certified Advanced Open Water Padi.           

Musti, the excellent diving instructor, gently challenges me: if I don’t feel to dive, I can stop it at any time. Everything is finally going great and no question to quit before the end of the refresher, with the famous “mask clearing” and tutti quanti

     

We schedule a dive in the early afternoon 

with Musti and Philippe, my buddy. We are the only divers aboard the boat of the Move Diving Center, where our bottles and equipment wait for us (last photo)!

The visibility is okay and the dive is not very deep, less than 15 meters. I found back the feeling of the intense blue. 50 minutes of pure bliss! Few dives to get more fluidity in the water …  

Important: when I dive, I never touch fauna or flora, as we learn it in the PADI course. The sea urchin that I have in my hand was placed by Musti who is also an engineer of the sea sciences and knows how to approach the fauna and flora of this part of the Mediterranean.      

Like many divers, I am very respectful of the ecosystem of seas and oceans, considered as our rubbish for too long. Please do not touch living organisms except if a competent person shows you how to do it! EXCELLENT DIVING TO ALL OF YOU!
