Sundia by Liberty Oludeniz

If you want to experience Olu Deniz’ best bits, this picturesque resort is a great choice. You'll be right in the heart of town, just a stone's throw from shops, bars, and restaurants. Spend long, sunny afternoons wandering the streets and finding the best place for a traditional Turkish ice cream. The world-famous Blue Lagoon is within easy reach, too. 

The hotel itself has the feel of a Mediterranean village – it's all whitewashed buildings and terracotta rooftops, plus a generous cloaking of greenery. Tucked amongst the pine trees you'll find three swim spots, with one pool set aside for children, and another providing a peaceful, adults-only option. The main pool is even heated during the colder months of April and October, so you can be sure to make a splash at any time of year. The surrounding terrace is freckled with loungers and parasols, and you can choose from chilling out by the waterside, or taking part in waterpolo games and aqua aerobics. Other activities to get involved in include darts, pool and table tennis tournaments. Alternatively, hit the spa for a proper Turkish bath experience followed by a soothing massage.
