King Royal Palace

Olu Deniz | Turkey

⭐⭐⭐⭐

 
Perched on the hills above Olu Deniz with sweeping views of pine-clad mountains and the valley below, King Royal Palace is a contemporary 4-star hideaway with a warm, boutique feel. Expect stylish pools, modern rooms – including swim-up and whirlpool options – and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that works just as well for couples as for laid-back family breaks in the Dalaman Area.

From its elevated perch above Olu Deniz, King Royal Palace frames that classic Turquoise Coast scenery – forested slopes, distant sea, and big blue skies – straight from the poolside. Days drift by between two gleaming outdoor pools, a smart terrace bar, and light-filled rooms that feel fresh and modern. Upgrade to a swim-up or outdoor whirlpool room to soak up the views in style, then wander down to Hisaronu or hop to Olu Deniz beach for sunset over the lagoon.

For couples and friends who want Turkey’s Turquoise Coast scenery with easy access to bars, restaurants and the famous Blue Lagoon, King Royal Palace strikes a lovely balance. It’s around 2 hours by road from Dalaman Airport (DLM), with Hisaronu just 1km away and Olu Deniz resort centre and beach about 3.2km downhill. See more Turkey holidays.

Facilities and Rooms | King Royal Palace

Restaurants and Bars

You’ll find a main restaurant and a choice of bars, all designed around sociable terraces so you can make the most of those valley views.

The main restaurant combines buffet and à la carte service, with Turkish specialities alongside international and British favourites at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect show cooking at peak times and handy touches like highchairs and a microwave for families.

On the terrace, the main bar serves drinks throughout the day and into the evening, while the pool bar keeps you topped up with refreshments and light bites between swims (seasonal opening, typically April–November). A smart-casual dress code may apply for dinner, and some à la carte items or premium drinks may carry a supplement depending on your chosen board basis. Opening hours and offerings can vary by season.

Pool Areas and Beach

There are two inviting outdoor freshwater pools at King Royal Palace, including a smaller children’s section, all surrounded by sunloungers and parasols. The design is clean and contemporary, with plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy the mountain backdrop. Complimentary pool towels are provided, so you can travel lighter.

Inflatables and water toys are generally permitted, making it easy to keep younger guests entertained. Pools are typically open from late April to early November, weather permitting, and facilities may vary slightly between pools.

While the hotel isn’t on the beach, Olu Deniz’s iconic shore and Blue Lagoon are about 3.2km away – easily reached by local dolmus, taxi or organised excursion if you fancy swapping pool time for sea swims and paragliders overhead.

Spa, Sports and Other Facilities

Stay active in the compact but well-equipped, air-conditioned gym, which offers cardio machines, fixed-strength equipment and a stretching area (typically open from morning to early evening, summer season only).

Around the property, you’ll find a 24-hour-style reception with concierge-style assistance and luggage storage, plus the option to hire a wheelchair or mobility scooter (local charge). Free Wi-Fi runs throughout the hotel, so you can stream, share and browse from your lounger or room.

There isn’t a full spa complex, but in-resort partners can often arrange local hammam visits, boat trips, paragliding or scuba diving out of Olu Deniz and Fethiye, ideal if you’d like to add a little adventure to your stay.

3. Are there family facilities at King Royal Palace?
Yes, the hotel has a children’s pool, plus highchairs and a microwave in the restaurant. Child ages are generally classed up to 12 years. There isn’t a dedicated kids’ club or waterpark, so it suits families looking for a quieter base with simple facilities rather than a large-scale family resort.

King Royal Palace combines panoramic valley and mountain views with modern rooms, stylish pools and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

6. Is the hotel suitable for guests with reduced mobility?
The hotel has lifts in the main blocks and offers wheelchair and mobility scooter hire at an extra charge, which can help guests with reduced mobility. However, the surrounding area is hilly and some areas of the property may still involve steps or slopes. If accessibility is a key concern, speak to a Travelisto travel designer for tailored advice before booking.
