Cibo & Bere Zaira Beach: Ilıca's New Favorite Beach Club in Çeşme
At the far end of Çeşme's Ilıca Beach, almost touching the sea, Cibo & Bere Zaira Beach has opened its doors. The spot was previously home to Monarch Beach. What sets Zaira apart on Çeşme's crowded beach scene is simple: there's no entry fee, and bookgroup.co members pay no minimum spend at all. (The venue's standard minimum spend starts at 2,000 TL; for the no-limit option, a reservation through bookgroup.co is required.) The pool area is charged separately.
Sea and Pool, All in One Place
At Zaira, you don't have to pick just one. Guests can step straight into the sea from the pier, or head to one of the venue's several pools instead. A cool morning swim followed by an afternoon by the pool is pretty much a typical day here. (Sunbeds in the pool area are charged separately.)
A Bohemian Design
With wide wooden decks, natural textures and sustainability-minded touches, Zaira moves away from the classic "luxury beach club" look toward something calmer and more bohemian. Even amid the crowd, it still feels like you've found a corner of your own.
What's on the Menu?
Mornings bring an open breakfast buffet, priced at 1,100 TL per person — great value for groups of 2-3. As the day goes on, the menu expands to pizza, lahmacun, gözleme, bowls, fajitas, pasta, fish and meat dishes, alongside a generous drinks list.
Music and Evening Events
Music runs throughout the day and gives way to DJ sets as evening sets in. Live concerts join the lineup now and then over the season, so Zaira stays lively well past sunset, not just during the day.
Easygoing for Families and Friends Alike
Without the pressure of a minimum spend (for bookgroup.co members), it's easy to settle in for hours. That makes Zaira a practical pick for both family days out and gatherings with friends — relaxed and unhurried, built for spending the whole day rather than a quick coffee stop.
Location
Cibo & Bere Zaira Beach is located at the end of Ilıca Beach, along Şifne Caddesi, Çeşme / İzmir, Turkey — right where Ilıca's main beachfront ends, in one of the closest spots to the sea.
