D Maris Bay

Set high on a hillside in the secluded Datca peninsula, surrounded by craggy mountains carpeted by almond and olive trees, the luxurious D Maris Bay Hotel overlooks a spectacular turquoise-coloured sea. It is popular with couples and families alike. This contemporary-styled property has 193 well-appointed rooms and suites that face the mountains or ocean and have been designed with ultimate escape and relaxation in mind. Guests staying in a suite have privileged access to the Executive Beach and the Executive Club Lounge, which have a thrice daily selection of food and beverages.

Following your arrival, there is almost no reason to leave the hotel. D Maris Bay offers a choice of five elegant (though expensive) à la carte restaurants and seven bars, each offering live music or DJ performances.

The property’s grounds are beautifully maintained, and five private white-sand beaches fronting crystal-clear waters vie for your attention. Alternatively, relax with either the outdoor pools or the heated indoor pool. A wide range of water sports is available, including water skiing, wakeboarding, and windsurfing. There is also a certified dive centre. Guided kayak tours will enable you to discover the beauty of Maris Bay’s hidden coves, or if you are looking for some adrenalin, take a mountain bike tour into the stunning Datca peninsula. D Maris Bay’s Spa provides pampering in its 12 treatment rooms, while for a workout, you might want to visit the Bodyism Gym or the Goran Ivanisevic Tennis School. The Kids Club will keep children (aged 4 to 12) entertained and is open daily between 9 am and 6 pm. D Maris Bay is about two hours drive from Dalaman or Bodrum Airports.
