Holidays to Marmaris

Marmaris holidays are all about hanging out on sunbeds during the day and swinging by the bars for some live music at night. Set on Turkey's turquoise coast, Marmaris' large and lively resort has plenty to offer in terms of entertainment, from its charming waterfront restaurants and harbour to its golden beaches and brilliant bars. Marmaris is great for clubbing, with the popular Bar Street buzzing with nightclubs, besides dance clubs right on the beach.

It's also a great base which is close to other picturesque resorts, making it perfect for day trips. To reach Marmaris, drive down from Dalaman International airport, the nearest to the resort. Enjoy a day in pretty Fethiye, shop in the local markets for shawls, pashminas and handbags and visit quiet harbours and hilltop towns. There’s lots of things to see and do in Marmaris and activity hunters can head into the mountains, go rafting along the rivers or hit the beach for watersports and diving lessons.

Beaches Galore

If you're a beach explorer, you're in for a treat! 

  • Uzunyali, fondly known as Long Beach, is the city’s prime seaside hangout. Spend your morning catching the breeze with windsurfing or wakeboarding, laze away the afternoon on a sun lounger, and when evening falls, indulge in the smorgasbord of waterfront dining and nightlife offerings.
  • Icmeler, a former fishing village, has now transformed into one of the region's most sought-after resort destinations. At Icmeler Beach, you'll experience pristine, golden sands and crystal-clear waters, framed by the majestic silhouette of neighbouring mountains.

Ciftlik Beach is a favourite amongst yacht enthusiasts. This extensive sandy crescent, flanked by pine-adorned forests, welcomes you to snorkel or dive around its rocky alcoves and savour ocean-front meals a few paces from the beach.

Days Out

Away from the beaches there are plenty of things to see and do in the area and beyond. 

    • Spend a day in the winding alleys and squares of Grand Bazaar, a covered arcade with nearly 1,000 shops selling handbags, sunglasses, clothes and traditional souvenirs. If you want a bargain, be prepared to haggle over hand-woven carpets, handmade jewellery and copy-cat designer pieces. The Thursday market at G. Mustafa Mugali Caddesi is also great for picking up bargains.
    • Dine under the stars on a traditional gulet cruise from Marmaris to Fethiye, passing picturesque coves, quiet beaches and clifftop villages. Pause for a swim at Samanlik Bay, enjoy a picnic lunch at pine-covered Kizil Island or simply laze on a beach with not a soul around. If you want to explore a nearby island or bay, you can catch a short ride over on a gulet from the main dock - there will be plenty of drinks on board and it's a great day trip for families and friends.
  • Get squeaky clean with a trip to a traditional hammam or Turkish bath. Step into a wrap-around sarong or “pestemal” and enjoy being steamed and massaged before slipping into a soapy bath – if you wish to extend your pamper session, face packs and aromatherapy oil treatments are also widely available.
Family Holidays

Marmaris is a fantastic destination for family holidays to Turkey.

  • Brace yourselves for an adrenaline rush at the Aqua Dream Waterpark as you whizz down the free fall slides, negotiate twisting and turning rafting rides, or simply enjoy the playful wave pool. And that's not all - dance performances and foam parties add a splash of festive spirit to your adventure!
  • Switch gears to explore the rugged terrains of Marmaris, courtesy of an exhilarating jeep safari. The journey takes you through the heart of Marmaris National Park and around the exotic Bozburun Peninsula. 
  • Trade in four wheels for four hooves as you saddle up for a horseback ride through Marmaris's picturesque hills. Traverse enchanting orange groves, cross gently babbling streams, and discover the lush countryside's beauty. 
  • Plunge into an aquatic wonderland at the Onmega Dolphin Therapy and Activity Centre. Experience the thrill of swimming alongside the majestic dolphins in the centre’s unique floating sea dolphinarium. 
Couples Holidays

For a romantic escape, it is hard to beat Marmaris. 

  • Set sail on a gastronomic journey under the stars at Netsel Marina. Renowned for its refined restaurants and romantic ambiance, this is a haven for couples. 
  • Lose yourselves in a world of relaxation that spans steam rooms, body exfoliation, and aromatic massages and facials at the city's time-honoured hammams. This rejuvenating ritual is a hit among vacationers.
  • Looking to add a touch of adventure to your romantic getaway? Dive headfirst into a snorkelling or diving tour. Boats frequently anchor at the picturesque Cennet Island, where you can swim in crystal-clear waters or explore awe-inspiring hidden caves.
  • Consider an all-inclusive vacation in Marmaris. A plethora of luxurious hotels await you, each boasting sumptuous spas, wellness centres, gourmet à la carte restaurants, and mesmerizing lagoon-style pools.
