Massages and treatments can be booked at the Elysion spa, which also has a Turkish Hammam and Ozone Sauna.

In the evenings, our single parent families can dine together in the main restaurant or make a reservation in one of the à la carte restaurants, followed by downtime in one of the countless bars. The hotel also puts on plenty of live music performances and night shows, whilst the kids have their own discos and evening programme giving our single parents a chance to truly relax!

Excursions and activities:

Your SPoH tour leader will help organise trips on for our groups. The most popular excursions are the boat tours, with snorkelling and swimming in lagoons and the river boat tours to the rejuvenating Dalyan Mud Baths and/or Turtle Beach. We also recommend a trip to the market town of Fethiye, the world famous Blue Lagoon of Ölüdeniz, and paragliding off Baba Mountain. 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 15 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?
