Map & location
Olu Deniz, Dalaman Area, Turkey
Garcia Resort sits on a quiet hillside above Olu Deniz, away from the main road yet close enough to dip into the action when you like. The setting gives you cooling breezes in summer and big views of the green valley below, with the mountains behind hinting at all the hiking and paragliding on offer in this part of Turkey.
Olu Deniz itself is famed for its turquoise Blue Lagoon and curving shingle-sand bay, backed by pine-blanketed slopes. You’ll have a handful of shops, bars and local eateries just over a kilometre away, with the more atmospheric resort centre a short dolmuş or taxi ride down the hill.
- shops, bars & restaurants 1.4km
- Olu Deniz resort centre 1.8km
- Olu Deniz beach / Blue Lagoon area 4.1km
- Sultans Aqua City (Fethiye) 14.6km

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The pool scene is where Garcia Resort really stretches out. You’ve got a choice of six outdoor freshwater pools, including:
– Main pools with generous sun terraces and loungers
– A separate outdoor children’s pool
– An activity pool with waterslides (usually open 01 May–31 Oct)
– Quiet corners for more relaxed sunbathing
Pool towels are provided free of charge, and parasols offer shade when the midday sun kicks in.
Indoors, the spa area adds three more freshwater pools – one standard pool, one with a whirlpool section and a separate children’s pool – ideal for cooler days or a break from the sun.
There’s no direct beach, but Olu Deniz’s iconic bay and the Blue Lagoon are around 4km away, reachable by local bus, shuttle or taxi. Here you’ll find paid sunbeds, beach clubs, calm waters and, of course, that famous turquoise colour.

Food & drink
All Inclusive at Garcia Resort keeps things simple and good value. The main Sophia buffet restaurant covers breakfast, lunch and dinner with international dishes, Turkish classics, kids’ options and live stations. Highchairs, a children’s buffet area and handy microwaves make life easier for families.
In the evening, you can book into the à la carte restaurant once per stay (reservation required, subject to availability) for a change of pace, with an international menu in a more intimate setting.
Two bars keep drinks flowing: the Garcia Lounge Bar in the lobby for pre-dinner cocktails or a nightcap, and the Pool Bar for daytime refreshments and sundowners. Expect local beer, wine, spirits, cocktails, soft drinks and hot drinks around the clock on All Inclusive, with snacks and ice cream served between main meals for at least three hours a day.
Smart-casual dress is usually requested in the restaurants (no beachwear). Opening times, reservation rules and inclusions can vary by season and board setup – we’ll confirm the latest details at time of booking. What All Inclusive typically includes.
