Overview

 
Perched between pine-clad hillsides and the glittering bay of Marmaris, LABRANDA Mares Marmaris is a sprawling All Inclusive resort made for easy family holidays in Turkey. Think sea-view sunsets, waterslides, a kids’ club and lively entertainment, all wrapped up with a friendly, laid-back atmosphere and a Certified Sustainable Hotel label.

Step into a classic Turkish seaside escape. LABRANDA Mares Marmaris spreads down the hillside to a seafront terrace, with panoramic views across Marmaris Bay, pine-scented gardens and plenty of space to unwind. Kids rush between the slides, pools and club, while adults dip into the spa, sip sundowners at the beach bar or simply watch the boats drift by. For couples and families seeking Turkey’s Aegean charm without being right in the bustle, LABRANDA Mares Marmaris hits a sweet spot. It’s set right on the beachfront between Marmaris and Icmeler, with the nearest shops and bars 1.5km away and an approximate 2 hours 30 minutes transfer from Dalaman Airport.

Map & location


Icmeler, Dalaman Area, Turkey

LABRANDA Mares Marmaris sits on a scenic stretch of coastline between Marmaris and Icmeler, backed by forested hills and fronting a long seafront sunbathing terrace. It’s peaceful within the grounds, yet you’re a short taxi or dolmus ride from the markets, marina and nightlife of Marmaris or the more easy-going vibe of Icmeler.

This part of the Dalaman Area is all about pine-framed bays, soft sands and boat trips. Stroll along the coastal path, haggle for souvenirs, or head into the hills for sweeping views of the Aegean.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 2 hours 30 minutes (from Dalaman – DLM)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The heart of the action is around the pools and seafront. There are two freshwater outdoor pools, both with children’s sections and plenty of sunbeds and parasols.

• A main outdoor pool with children’s section and spacious sunbathing area, plus baby-changing facilities nearby.
• A second outdoor pool with waterslides and a separate children’s section – always a hit with families.
• Complimentary pool towels are provided.

Down at the waterfront you’ll find the hotel’s own sunbathing terrace and beach area, complete with loungers and a beach bar, so you can switch between pool days and sea dips with zero effort.

Water sports such as canoeing, pedalos, windsurfing, water polo and selected motorised options are available (generally run by an external company, extra charges apply; some with a minimum age of 12 years; seasonal).
