Labranda Mares Marmaris

Hotel Highlights

• This Ultra All Inclusive beachfront pick is all about big Aegean views, pine forest vibes and sunshine that shows off in every holiday snap.

• You’ve got a 650m beach along Marmaris Bay, plus jetties and sun terraces for full-on laidback days by the water.

• There’s loads going on here, from pools and watersports to live entertainment, a spa and plenty of places to eat and drink.

• Set in a natural pine forest and close to charming Aegean villages, this one nails that away-from-it-all feel without being miles from the action.

• There are 441 rooms, handy on-site extras like Wi-Fi and a 24-hour reception, and pets may be accepted on request for a local charge.

Location

• Right on the beach in Marmaris, so sea views and easy dip-in-the-water moments are very much on the agenda.

• Marmaris centre is around 5km away, while İçmeler is about 3km away if you fancy a wander beyond the hotel.

• Restaurants and shopping areas are roughly 1km away, so grabbing souvenirs or heading out is nice and easy.

• Dalaman Airport is about 90km from the hotel, so you’ll be swapping the runway for the bay before you know it.

• If you’re in explore mode, local favourites include Sedir Island, Marmaris Castle and Netsel Marina.

Rooms

• Rooms are bright, comfy and made for flopping after a day in the sun, with free Wi-Fi, a minibar, central air conditioning and an LCD TV with national and international channels.

Food & Drink
