Holidays to Dalaman

Turquoise seas, Turkish food, turtle-nesting beaches… Dalaman holidays are tur-tally amazing! Throw in mud baths, cliffside tombs, tip-top resorts and we’re sold!

Turquoise Coast

Dalaman is part of the Turquoise Coast, where you’ll find exceptionally clear waters, spectacular lush mountains, and a diverse choice of beaches. Expect to spend your Dalaman holidays happily exploring coves and caves, discovering secluded beaches, splashing around in the water and generally having a good time by the sea.

The Blue Lagoon in Olu Deniz is a particular highlight. Visit for a swim or a snorkel, or stay on the surface with a kayak or paddleboard.

Resort life

One of Dalaman's biggest appeals is all the ace resorts that sit along its sparkly coastline. Here, you’ll find resorts that are perfect for couples (choose adults-only), families (with plenty of entertainment and activities to please everyone) and groups of friends (think swim-up bars).

If you’re in the mood to fly and flop, pick an all-inclusive that has everything you need within easy reach, from all-you-can-eat buffets to Turkish spa treatments just a short walk from your cosy room.

Ancient Kaunos

Visiting the ruins of this 9th-century city is a must-do on any Dalaman holiday. Hop on a boat from Dalyan (side note: a great place to try a cleansing mud bath) and cross the river to the site.

Highlights here include an old theatre, a Roman bath and a church from the 6th century. And make sure you look upwards to see the impressive rock tombs carved into the cliffside.

Water lot of water

If you like to spend a lot of time splashing about in the water, the Dalaman is your kind of playground. There are plenty of opportunities to snorkel, dive and swim from most of its main beaches. Watersports are abundant, as are boat trips.

It doesn’t stop at the sea, either, as the Dalaman River is also a source of frothy fun! Raft the rapids through the lush valley and past waterfalls, catching your breath (and drying off!) at a lunch spot along the way.
