Location | Marmaris Bay Resort

Location

Marmaris Bay Resort occupies one of the prettiest spots on this stretch of the Turquoise Coast. The hotel is wrapped in lush gardens and pine forest on a headland just outside Marmaris, giving you a tucked-away feel with big sea views.

A private beach arcs along the bay right in front of the hotel, while jetties and wooden decks provide extra sunbathing space over the water. When you want more buzz, Marmaris resort centre – with its marina, bazaar, bars and clubs – is around 8km away and can be reached by road or a scenic water taxi (seasonal, extra charge).

From here you can also head inland to explore waterfalls, mountains and day trips to Dalyan or Pamukkale, making the resort a great base if you want both relaxation and adventure.
