Olu Deniz, Dalaman Area, Turkey
King Royal Palace sits in a lush green valley above Olu Deniz, framed by dramatic mountains and pine forest. You’re tucked away from the busiest streets for peaceful pool days, yet just close enough to dip into the action when you want it.
Hisaronu, with its lively bars, casual restaurants and shops, is about 1km away, while Olu Deniz resort centre and its famed Blue Lagoon are roughly 3.2km downhill. The setting is ideal if you want big views and a quieter base, with easy dolmus or taxi links to the beachfront and neighbouring towns.

- • Olu Deniz resort centre and beach 3.2km
- • Fethiye 12km (via local bus or taxi)
- Approx. transfer time from airport 2 hours from Dalaman (DLM)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
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 & wellness
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.
Activities
While King Royal Palace focuses more on relaxation than full-on resort entertainment, you’ll typically be able to enjoy:
• Cooling off in two outdoor pools with mountain views
• Gentle workouts in the on-site gym (seasonal)
• Casual socialising around the terrace bar in the evenings
Beyond the hotel, Olu Deniz shines for:

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.
