Solar Beach Club
1km of Black Sea beach with concerts and pools
Solar Beach stretches along 1 kilometer of Black Sea coastline in Kilyos. The extensive complex features multiple pools, beach access, restaurants, and a concert venue that hosts major performances throughout summer. The largest and most developed of Istanbul's beach clubs.
Editor's Tip
1km of beach plus pools. Major concerts in summer. The biggest beach club experience.
Insider Tips
- 45-60 minute drive from central Istanbul - factor in traffic
- Book concert nights weeks in advance through their website
- Bring cash as backup - card machines can be slow
- Leave before 20:00 or after midnight to avoid worst traffic
- Parking fills up fast on weekends - arrive by noon
