Novamall Manavgat in Manavgat, Turkey

Novamall Manavgat is a large shopping and entertainment centre on the Antalya–Alanya road in Sorgun, just east of central Manavgat and close to the road toward Side. The current official website is active in 2026 and lists fashion, electronics, books, sports, jewellery, cosmetics, children’s stores, food and drink, a market and a cinema. It is useful for travellers who need a weather-proof shopping stop, supermarket, branded retail, cinema or food-court break rather than a traditional local market experience. The mall is firmly a Manavgat entity despite some travel listings grouping it with Side because of proximity.

The official site confirms the current address as Antalya–Alanya road, 8096 Sokak No:5, Manavgat/Antalya, with telephone +90 242 742 15 18. This matches the workpack location and resolves the dual Manavgat/Side locality hint in favour of Manavgat. Side is still relevant for transport because many resort guests travel from there, but the canonical route should remain under Manavgat.

Novamall operates as a conventional multi-category shopping centre. The official store directory includes fashion, footwear, home goods, electronics, books, health and cosmetics, sports, jewellery and services. Food-and-drink options occupy a significant part of the visitor experience, and Paribu Cineverse operates the cinema. Individual tenants can keep different service times even when the mall doors are open, so cinema sessions, restaurants and supermarket hours should be checked separately.

The official website shows active 2026 events and campaigns, including children’s programmes, fairs and seasonal activities. This is useful evidence that the centre remains operational and regularly programmed rather than surviving only in old business directories. Visitors interested in a specific event should use the mall’s current announcement page because dates, locations and age requirements change frequently. The mall was still publishing 2026 fairs and children’s activities, while a September 2026 directory corroborated a 10:00–22:00 daily schedule, supporting its status as an active year-round retail and entertainment centre.

Opening hours need a cautious note. The official site published a 2024 announcement extending opening to 10:00–23:00, but it also lists later “opening and closing hours changed” announcements in late 2025. The exact late-2025 announcement text is not reliably retrievable through the current site. Current Apple Maps, Tripadvisor and a September 2026 local directory all show 10:00–22:00 every day. The sidebar therefore uses 10:00–22:00 as the current best-supported schedule and notes that holiday announcements can override it.

Ramadan and national-holiday schedules can differ. The mall published a specific Ramadan Bayram announcement in March 2026, showing that special-day hours are actively managed. Travellers with a timed cinema, airport transfer or late shopping plan should check the latest official announcement rather than relying only on the general daily timetable.

Transport is easy by road. The mall sits beside the major Antalya–Alanya corridor, close to Manavgat bus terminal and routes serving Side and Sorgun. Current visitor information notes local minibuses passing the area, while taxis and private vehicles are straightforward. Parking is available, though older visitor reports describe it becoming busy at peak periods. The centre’s roadside position makes it easier to reach than navigating central Manavgat streets on a market day.

A typical visit can be as short as one hour for practical shopping or several hours with a meal and cinema. Families may spend longer during scheduled children’s events. Because the environment is air-conditioned and indoor, the mall is a reliable alternative during extreme heat or heavy rain, but it should not be presented as a cultural substitute for Manavgat’s traditional Monday market.

Accessibility is generally stronger than at outdoor bazaars. A modern mall normally includes lifts, escalators and accessible toilets, but the official pages checked for this batch do not provide a complete accessibility specification. Visitors needing a particular wheelchair entrance, parking bay or cinema arrangement should contact the mall or tenant directly.

Prices, sales and brand availability change continuously. The page should not freeze a store list or claim that every current tenant will remain indefinitely. The official website’s store directory is the right source for day-of-visit confirmation.

Novamall Manavgat is a practical, modern retail hub rather than a destination that needs historical interpretation. Its value lies in convenience: many stores in one climate-controlled complex, cinema, food and easy access from both Manavgat and Side. Use the current 10:00–22:00 schedule, but check official holiday notices and individual tenant times when timing matters.

Novamall is also useful as a practical services stop. Travellers can combine supermarket shopping, pharmacy or cosmetics purchases, clothing and a meal without moving between several addresses. That can be especially helpful for families staying in resort hotels with limited retail nearby. It is still worth checking the official store directory before travelling for one specific brand, because tenant turnover is normal in shopping centres and an old review or map pin may outlast a store lease.

For a rainy or extremely hot day, that concentration of indoor services is the mall’s main advantage over Side’s open-air shopping streets and Manavgat’s weekly market.
