Most Romantic Hotels in Marmaris

This three-and-a-half-pearl hotel with a prime spot on the Marmaris waterfront draws mostly European couples looking for a relaxed stay. Its 84 guest rooms are on the small side, but they're streamlined, with design-forward, modern decor. All are nicely equipped with flat-screen TVs, generously stocked minibars, electric kettles with free coffee and tea. Most rooms have balconies, but units lack in-room Wi-Fi. Features highlights include a sandy beach, outdoor pool, and a well-regarded restaurant, although there's no organized entertainment or activities. Guests can choose from breakfast-only, half-board, or a mix of the two packages for the duration of their stay. Note that the Marbella closes from mid-October to May. Travelers with kids in tow looking for a more family-friendly property can consider nearby Ideal Prime Beach, which has a water park. 

This stylish midsize four-pearl hotel located right on the Marmaris waterfront is adults-only in the summer months, with a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere than some other all-inclusive hotels in town. Its 103 guest rooms are attractive, but on the small side, and few have sea-facing balconies. Standard amenities include AC, flat-screen TVs, and mini-fridges, but there are no kettles. Deluxe Rooms add coffee- and tea-making facilities, iPod docks, and sofa beds. There’s a large beach area, good-quality food, and a pool and spa, but little organized entertainment. Families looking for a modern midsize hotel on the shoreline with activities might consider the nearby Poseidon Hotel. 

This midsize three-and-a-half-pearl hotel is an adults-only all-inclusive, with a relaxed vibe and all the standard amenities for Marmaris hotels. However, the location is less-than-ideal, as the property is a few blocks inland from the beach. Its 114 guest rooms are compact but stylish, with balconies plus flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi, but there are no coffeemakers or kettles. Some activities and small-scale shows are organized around the good-sized pool area, and there’s a spa and gym on-site. Travelers with children looking for family-friendly amenities can consider SunConnect Grand Ideal Premium, which is in the same chain, and those seeking an adults-only stay on the waterfront can check out Cettia Beach Hotel. 

This stately four-and-a-half-pearl resort on the Marmaris seafront has a tranquil feel, with lush gardens, a white-sand beach, and a full range of features, including a well-reviewed steak restaurant. Its 324 guest rooms are attractively decorated, comfortable, and well-equipped. All have balconies, about half of which face the sea, and come with flat-screen TVs, minibars, kettles with free tea and instant coffee, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Kids activities and shows are a bit more limited than at other big resorts in the area, and drinks are only included in full-board packages at meal times. Travelers looking for all-inclusive deals and a livelier atmosphere might compare rates at the nearby Green Nature Diamond Hotel.

This large, all-inclusive four-pearl hotel close to (but not on) the waterfront is popular with families and couples for its full lineup of activities and entertainment for all ages. Its 272 guest rooms are mostly well-equipped and attractively decorated, if in some cases a bit crowded with furniture. All have decently sized balconies, plus flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes, and free Wi-Fi, but they lack kettles or coffeemakers, and bathrooms are basic and underwhelming, with small showers. The resort’s facilities are a highlight, with near-nightly shows, a kids’ club, teen lounge, three pools, two restaurants, spa, fitness center -- and a high-tech information service to keep track of it all. Travelers who want beach access might compare rates at nearby sister property, the Ideal Prime Beach, or at the Blue Bay Platinum Hotel.

Sleek and contemporary, the three-and-a-half-pearl Poseidon gives off the vibe of a city hotel, but it’s located right on the Marmaris shorefront, with its own patch of beach and jetty for sunbathing. With a chilled-out pool area and no planned activities for guests, the hotel draws a mostly grown-up crowd who prefer to entertain themselves. The soothingly decorated 232 guest rooms are small but streamline, and all have balconies overlooking the sea. They're also well-equipped, with AC, flat-screen TVs, minibars, free Wi-Fi, and kettles, but there's no free coffee or tea. In addition to the beach and pool, highlights among features includes a decent-size fitness center with a Turkish bath and a small spa, but on-site dining options are limited. Travelers looking for a luxury stay on the beach can consider nearby Elegance Hotel. 

The small, three-pearl Supreme Hotel Marmaris is an all-inclusive property that's a solid choice for travelers looking for a low-key vacation experience and good value. It's located about 10 minutes’ walk from the waterfront, and while the 57 guest rooms are on the small side, they're pleasant and well-maintained. All have balconies, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi, but there's a fee to use safes and AC may cost extra depending on individual bookings. In addition to the pool, the hotel has an open-air restaurant and pool bar, plus a small spa, though one weight bench is the extent of fitness facilities. Travelers seeking a similarly relaxed setting with a beachfront location can compare rates at the Hotel Marbella or the Poseidon Hotel, while those who desire more organized activities and entertainment might consider the nearby Club Anastasia.
