Olive Tree Studios

Hisaronu | Turkey, Dalaman Area

⭐⭐⭐⭐

 
Tucked among pine-clad hills above Olu Deniz, Olive Tree Studios is an intimate, adults-only boutique hideaway with just 14 studios, a serene pool and big mountain views. It feels more like a private villa than a hotel, yet you’re a stroll from lively Hisaronu’s bars, restaurants and shops. Think lazy days by the pool, long Turkish breakfasts and evenings sipping a chilled drink on your balcony while cicadas hum in the background.

A tranquil courtyard-style pool, terracotta roofs and olive trees set the tone at Olive Tree Studios. With no children, low room numbers and friendly, hands-on owners, the vibe is wonderfully relaxed and personal. Wake up to crisp mountain air, linger over breakfast, wander into Hisaronu for a change of pace, or head down to Olu Deniz beach and the Blue Lagoon before returning to this peaceful base in the hills.

For couples seeking Turkey’s Dalaman Area charm without the crowds, Olive Tree Studios delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 1 hour 45 minutes from Dalaman (DLM) airport, in the cool mountain air above Olu Deniz. See more Turkey holidays.

Facilities and Rooms | Olive Tree Studios

Restaurants and Bars

The heart of the property is The Olive Tree Restaurant, an intimate à la carte spot serving a mix of international, British, Turkish and local dishes for breakfast and lunch in season (typically 01 Apr–01 Dec). Expect made-to-order plates rather than mass buffets, with Turkish touches and familiar favourites.

A cosy lounge bar serves local, international and premium drinks plus snacks, ideal for sunset cocktails or a relaxed nightcap after exploring Hisaronu. Beachwear isn’t permitted inside, and smart-casual dress is appreciated in the evenings.

Board choices include generous Turkish-style Bed & Breakfast (with some English options) or Half Board if you prefer to dine mostly on site. Availability, opening times and any supplements can vary by season and board basis.

Pool Areas and Beach

The outdoor freshwater pool is the focal point of Olive Tree Studios – a lovely, stone-framed rectangle edged with sunbeds and parasols, surrounded by trees and flowering plants. It has a peaceful, adults-only vibe, so it’s easy to find a quiet spot with a book. Inflatables are permitted and complimentary pool towels are provided, saving suitcase space.

There’s no on-site beach, but you’re just a short ride from Olu Deniz’s iconic crescent of sand and shingle and the sheltered Blue Lagoon, where you’ll find beach clubs, water sports and plenty of sunbeds for hire.

Spa, Sports and Other Facilities

This is a small, boutique-style retreat designed for unwinding rather than high-octane resort activity. There’s no dedicated gym or spa, but the relaxed atmosphere, mountain air and nearby walking trails deliver their own wellness boost.

On the practical side, a friendly reception team can help with concierge-style services, local recommendations, taxi bookings and excursions, plus currency exchange and luggage storage. Free Wi-Fi is available in the communal areas so you can share sunset snaps or plan your next day’s adventures.
