Perched on a mountain plateau above the famous Olu Deniz coastline, Telmessos Select enjoys a cooler, fresher feel than the beachfront – and big views of the surrounding pine-covered hills.

Hisaronu’s main strip, with its bars, restaurants, shops and nightlife, is around 700m away, far enough to keep things calmer back at the hotel but close enough to stroll in for dinner or a night out. When you fancy the beach, it’s about 4.3km down to Olu Deniz and its iconic lagoon by local dolmus or taxi.

This adults-only base works particularly well if you want to split your time between lazy pool days, paragliding and boat trips from Olu Deniz, and evenings out in Hisaronu’s lively centre.

Hisaronu resort centre: approx. 700m
Olu Deniz resort centre & beach: approx. 4.3km

Approx. transfer time from airport: 1 hour 45 minutes
