ADULTS-ONLY HOTEL NEAR ICMELER BEACH
Just a five-minute stroll from the golden sands of Icmeler Beach on Turkey’s southwest coastline, the laid-back charm of Elite World Marmaris makes it a very easy hotel to fall in love with.
A typical day begins by the large outdoor swimming pool, which is flanked by sun loungers so you can top up your tan in peace. Feeling thirsty? Not for long, as the poolside bar is always just a hop, skip, and jump away from where you’re sitting. Plus, with another bar, a snack bar, and a coffeeshop dotted around the premises, refreshment is never far from your fingertips.
No one goes hungry at this hotel, either. The main restaurant’s a buffet affair that serves up a variety of international favourites at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The à la carte restaurant, meanwhile, specialises in a delightful fusion of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine to tantalise the tastebuds of the fussiest foodie. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance, too, if you fancy going further afield for lunch or dinner.
You deserve to be spoilt rotten so why not spend a couple of hours in the hotel’s luxurious spa? Services include a steam room, sauna, and the relaxing ambience of a traditional Turkish bath. Finish off your pampering session with a skin-tingling facial or full-body massage to walk out feeling totally rejuvenated.

Find out more about Icmeler
Fringing the south end of Marmaris Bay, Icmeler looks out to the deep blue Mediterranean, while the Aegean lies behind dramatic mountains that loom over the town. It’s an extraordinarily beautiful setting. On Icmeler holidays, the bright lights of Marmaris and the mountainous Datca Peninsula are also within easy reach and are ripe for exploration.
Icmeler’s pretty beach is surrounded by pine forests, which are criss-crossed by walking trails that ascend up steep slopes. Here you can enjoy sweeping views across the water and glimpse the adjoining Datca and Bozburun peninsulas. Roughly dividing the Mediterranean from the Aegean, these stretches of land are wonderful places where holidaymakers will find secluded beaches, wild coves and fishing villages with bougainvillea-draped lanes. In the other direction is Marmaris – a major resort that’s full of busy beaches and bars.
A destination with high-drama scenery and plenty to see and do, holidays to Icmeler in Turkey never disappoint.
