There is plenty to do at the hotel, with a daily sports programme, including bike tours, yoga, Pilates, aerobics, spinning, aqua aerobics, pool Zumba, darts, crazy golf, tennis and water sports on the beach. For those who wish to keep up their exercise regime, there is a modern fitness room with free weights and cardio equipment. If you prefer to take it easy, visit the Byblis spa, with heated indoor pool, steam room, Roman bath, and sauna. For that extra-luxurious experience, the two-storey Elysion spa is a must. Here you can enjoy a VIP Turkish Bath, different saunas, a steam room, and a relaxation pool aside from massages, treatments, manicures, and more.

In the evenings, our solo travellers will be able to dine together in the main restaurant, offering international cuisine and Turkish specialities or in one of the six à la carte restaurants. For pre- and after dinner drinks, there are several bars around the resort, including a tranquil beach bar, and a rooftop bar. To round up the evening, there is a daily entertainment programme, including live music at one of the bars, and excellent shows in the  open air theatre.

Excursions and activities:

Your SPoH tour leader will help organise trips for those who wish to explore this beautiful region. Sarigerme village, with its countless shops and restaurants, is only a short taxi ride away. Further afield, you will find the rejuvenating Dalyan Mud Baths, Turtle Beach, the market town of Fethiye, and the Blue Lagoon of Ölüdeniz. One of the most popular trips is the 12-island tour from Göcek harbour, with stops for swimming in beautiful bays. If you don’t mind travelling a little further, book a trip to Pamukkale for a chance to see the surreal white travertine pools and the ancient city of Hierapolis,  together one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Dalaman in Turkey’s Muğla Province:

Dalaman is a district on the southwestern coast of Turkey in the Muğla Province. Its diverse landscape is beautiful, with coastal plains transitioning into forested hills and mountains, with the Dalaman Stream (also known as the Dalaman River) and its tributaries meandering through its valleys. Charming villages and luxury resorts can be found throughout the coastal region, and there’s a typically Turkish feel wherever you go.

There are many popular places worth visiting in the area, notably Fethiye, a market town famous for the Lycian Rock Tombs, which were carved into the hillside around 2,500 years ago. South of Fetiye, you will find Ölüdeniz beach and its famed Blue Lagoon. Although a protected national park, you are allowed to paddle and swim in the calm, shallow waters of the lagoon. Further north is the laid back town of Dalyan. Across its river you can spot the ruins of the ancient city of Kaunos, which was constructed on terraces. You can still see the remains of a theatre and the Lycian tombs carved into the rock, the final resting place of the local Lycians. Another ancient site of Lycia in the area is Myra, once one of its most important towns and home to St. Nicholas. Today, Myra is an impressive open air museum and archaeological site. Halfway between Fethiye and Myra lies the 17-mile long and often submerged Saklikent Gorge.

Our hotel enjoys a prime position directly on the beach, at the exact point where the the Dalaman Stream flows into the Mediterranean Sea. The town of Dalaman is only 20 minutes drive from our resort, whilst the small village of Sarigerme, with its bars, shops, and restaurants is just down the road. What are you waiting for?
