Poseidon Hotel Marmaris

This adults-only hotel is set right on the buzzing beachfront of Marmaris, whose lively nightlife and much-loved stretches of shoreline have made it one of the most popular resorts on the Turkish coast. There’s no shortage of water sports, shopping opportunities, and local excursions to keep you busy during the day, plus numerous bars, restaurants, pubs and clubs to explore when the sun goes down.

But if busy is the opposite of what you’re looking for, you can recline on the Poseidon Hotel’s private beach, by one of its swimming pools, or on the pier extending out to sea. All are exclusive to guests and offer sunbeds with parasols and drinks service. If you still need help winding down, you can head to the spa for a relaxing massage, steam or traditional Turkish hammam.
