Best Luxury Hotels in Marmaris

This stylish midsize four-pearl hotel located right on the Marmaris waterfront is adults-only in the summer months, with a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere than some other all-inclusive hotels in town. Its 103 guest rooms are attractive, but on the small side, and few have sea-facing balconies. Standard amenities include AC, flat-screen TVs, and mini-fridges, but there are no kettles. Deluxe Rooms add coffee- and tea-making facilities, iPod docks, and sofa beds. There’s a large beach area, good-quality food, and a pool and spa, but little organized entertainment. Families looking for a modern midsize hotel on the shoreline with activities might consider the nearby Poseidon Hotel. 

This all-inclusive, four-pearl resort on the Marmaris seashore is big and bustling with couples and families of various nationalities. Its 639 guest rooms are spacious, and all feature balconies, about half of which have full or partial sea views. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, minibars, and kettles with free tea and instant coffee. The beachfront location, large pool, and spa are highlights, and there are multiple restaurants and bars (some extra charge) on-site, too. Though there are activities most days and nights, some guests say the entertainment offerings aren’t quite up to par. Travelers can compare rates at the quieter (though not fully all-inclusive) D-Resort Grand Azur, or at the equally lively Ideal Prime Beach.

This stately four-and-a-half-pearl resort on the Marmaris seafront has a tranquil feel, with lush gardens, a white-sand beach, and a full range of features, including a well-reviewed steak restaurant. Its 324 guest rooms are attractively decorated, comfortable, and well-equipped. All have balconies, about half of which face the sea, and come with flat-screen TVs, minibars, kettles with free tea and instant coffee, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Kids activities and shows are a bit more limited than at other big resorts in the area, and drinks are only included in full-board packages at meal times. Travelers looking for all-inclusive deals and a livelier atmosphere might compare rates at the nearby Green Nature Diamond Hotel.

This large, all-inclusive four-pearl hotel close to (but not on) the waterfront is popular with families and couples for its full lineup of activities and entertainment for all ages. Its 272 guest rooms are mostly well-equipped and attractively decorated, if in some cases a bit crowded with furniture. All have decently sized balconies, plus flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes, and free Wi-Fi, but they lack kettles or coffeemakers, and bathrooms are basic and underwhelming, with small showers. The resort’s facilities are a highlight, with near-nightly shows, a kids’ club, teen lounge, three pools, two restaurants, spa, fitness center -- and a high-tech information service to keep track of it all. Travelers who want beach access might compare rates at nearby sister property, the Ideal Prime Beach, or at the Blue Bay Platinum Hotel.

This all-inclusive four-pearl resort draws a mixed crowd of couples, families, and other guests from various countries, located about a six-minute walk from the Marmaris shorefront. The ocean-themed 441 guest rooms are attractively decorated, with balconies, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and kettles, but units rather small, as are their bathrooms. Highlights include four outdoor pools to choose from, and a light schedule of entertainment and activities is organized near-daily, with more downtime than at some comparable resorts. A good-size spa and fitness center, multiple bars and restaurants, and a kids' club rounds out available facilities. Travelers looking for a luxury stay directly on the beach can consider Elegance Hotel. 

This all-inclusive, three-and-a-half-pearl hotel has a family-friendly focus, with lots of activities and entertainment for all ages creating a lively atmosphere, but it's far from the waterfront. The spacious 190 guest rooms are decorated in a slightly old-fashioned style and bathrooms are on the small side, but units are comfortable, and all have balconies. Standard amenities include AC, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi, but there are no coffee- and tea-making facilities. The hotel has a large pool area, a pleasant spa, and a free shuttle to the beach. Four bars, two restaurants, and a patisserie serve food and drink throughout the day. Travelers can compare rates at the larger Julian Club Hotel, or at the beachfront Green Nature Diamond.

Sleek and contemporary, the three-and-a-half-pearl Poseidon gives off the vibe of a city hotel, but it’s located right on the Marmaris shorefront, with its own patch of beach and jetty for sunbathing. With a chilled-out pool area and no planned activities for guests, the hotel draws a mostly grown-up crowd who prefer to entertain themselves. The soothingly decorated 232 guest rooms are small but streamline, and all have balconies overlooking the sea. They're also well-equipped, with AC, flat-screen TVs, minibars, free Wi-Fi, and kettles, but there's no free coffee or tea. In addition to the beach and pool, highlights among features includes a decent-size fitness center with a Turkish bath and a small spa, but on-site dining options are limited. Travelers looking for a luxury stay on the beach can consider nearby Elegance Hotel.
