Suluada Island: Discovering the "Maldives of Turkey" on a Turquoise Boat Trip
The Hidden Paradise of the Mediterranean

There’s a reason why locals call Suluada the "Maldives of Turkey." Located off the coast of Adrasan, this small, uninhabited volcanic island boasts some of the most strikingly clear water you will ever see. Unlike the crowded public beaches, Suluada offers a sense of raw, untouched beauty. As your boat approaches the island, the color of the sea shifts from a deep sapphire to a bright, glowing turquoise that feels almost surreal. It is the kind of place that reminds you why Turkey's "Turquoise Coast" earned its name in the first place.
What to Expect on Your Journey:

When you book this experience through our portal, your day is designed for total relaxation and exploration. Here is a quick look at the itinerary:
- Morning Pickup: We handle the logistics with a comfortable transfer from your hotel to the pier.
- Sailing the Coast: Enjoy a 6-hour boat excursion along the stunning Adrasan coastline.
- Multiple Swim Stops: Dive into the "Love Cave" and the island's famous white sand beaches.
- Chef-Prepared Lunch: A fresh Mediterranean lunch is served right on the deck, surrounded by the sea.
The Magic of the Fresh Water Springs

"Suluada" literally translates to "Watery Island," and for a very good reason. The island is famous for its natural cold-water springs that bubble up from the seabed. Locals believe these waters have healing properties, but for most travelers, they simply provide a refreshing, ice-cold contrast to the warm Mediterranean sun. Swimming near these springs is a unique sensory experience that you won't find at any other beach in the Antalya region.
Perfect for Photos and Memories

If you are looking for that "perfect" shot for your social media, Suluada is the place. The contrast between the stark white rocks of the island and the neon-blue water creates a backdrop that requires zero filters. Whether you are snorkeling to find colorful fish or simply lounging on the boat’s upper deck with a cold drink, every angle is a masterpiece. It’s a favorite for couples and families alike who want to escape the hustle of the main tourist hubs for a few hours of pure bliss.
A Seamless Experience with Kemer Tours

We know that the best vacations are the ones where you don't have to worry about the details. Our Suluada trip is an "all-inclusive" vibe in terms of comfort. From the moment our shuttle picks you up to the moment we drop you back at your hotel, every detail—from the navigation to the delicious lunch—is managed by our professional crew.
Note :
- This is one of our most popular trips. Because Suluada is a protected area, we recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance through the Tasks Window or our website to secure your spot on the boat!
Sustainable Sailing: Keeping the Maldives Blue

As part of our commitment to Turkey’s natural beauty, we encourage all our guests to practice "Leave No Trace" tourism. Suluada remains beautiful because it is uninhabited and respected. We provide waste disposal on all our boats and ensure that our anchors do not damage the delicate underwater ecosystems. By joining us, you aren't just a tourist; you are a guest of the Mediterranean, helping us keep these waters pristine for years to come.
Conclusion: You don't need a 12-hour flight to find paradise. Suluada offers the magic of the tropics right here in Antalya. It’s a day of sun, salt, and serenity that will likely be the highlight of your Turkish vacation. Ready to dive in?
