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).
