Club Alla Turca

Club Alla Turca deals in standout views and chilled out vibes – the perfect combo for a relaxing getaway. This pretty, village-style complex is tucked among tropical gardens and backed by forested mountain-tops, so the outlook is impressive to say the least. Despite its peaceful hillside setting, the hotel is well-placed for exploring, with a regular shuttle bus that’ll whisk you into Dalyan.

It's just a stone's throw from the banks of the Dalyan River, too, where you can hop on a water taxi to nearby Iztuzu Beach – a soft, sandy stretch that's a protected habitat for loggerhead turtles. Swim, sunbathe, or see if you're lucky enough to spot a sea turtle.  

Back at base, sunshine-yellow and red buildings give way to the palm-fringed swimming pool that sits at the heart of the hotel. It’s criss-crossed by a bridge, and neighboured by loungers, umbrellas and a bubbly whirlpool. You’ve also got an open-air bar for snacks and cold drinks.

The hotel restaurant lays on big buffet spreads at breakfast and dinner times, with regular Turkish themed nights showing off local specialities like grilled kebabs and fresh salads. Night-times here are lovely and laid-back, with an open-air bar providing the setting for cocktails and live music under the stars, and cabana-style seating areas for drinks with added privacy. If you fancy a proper night out, you’ll find plenty of bars and clubs in the nearby resort centre. 

Just so you know, Club Alla Turca has three floors, but there is no lift.
