Montana Pine Resort

Enveloped in a wooded landscape and set on beautiful flowery grounds, the resort offers a breath of fresh air for city dwellers and travelers seeking an idyllic setting immersed in nature. Attractive architecture is composed of white buildings trimmed in wood, with wooden roofs, balconies, and other details, swathed in greenery and draped with vines and bougainvillea. Interiors also feature a heavy dose of wood that makes for a cozy and inviting vibe, while decor is fairly simple and traditional. The highlight here is the outdoors, and the resort's hilltop location offers gorgeous views over the surrounding tumbling hills covered in piney woods and the sea in the distance. Clientele is almost exclusively leisure travelers seeking a peaceful vacation, with a mix of couples and families with kids, many of whom are repeat visitors. The hotel is also a popular venue for weddings and other events.

The hotel is set in a picturesque location on a wooded hill. It's right by the Ölüdeniz Natural Park and commands beautiful views over Ölüdeniz, a coastal village with a pretty beach that's under a 10-minute drive away (the hotel provides a free shuttle service). Ölüdeniz offers several dining options and some shops. The location is a bit isolated and there's not much in the immediate area of the hotel, which makes for a tranquil atmosphere -- but traveling by car or local bus is necessary to get around. Area attractions include: Water World Aquapark (an 11-minute drive) Butterfly Valley (a 20-minute drive) and Babadağ Mountain (about a 33-minute drive away). The port city of Fethiye is about a 25-minute drive away. Dalaman Airport can be reached in a bit over an hour.
