D Maris Bay stands as a beacon of luxury and natural beauty on Turkey’s stunning Datça Peninsula. Perched atop a narrow outcrop, this stylish resort offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, where gin-clear waters lap powder-soft golden sands in postcard-perfect scenes.
Each of the 196 luxurious guestrooms, including 36 suites and an opulent villa, combines neutral but warming tones, natural materials and views of the sea or the volcanic mountains. Rich wood detailing, Italian marble, and floor-to-ceiling windows create tranquil and welcoming havens. Seven dining options offer high-end dining amidst stunning coastal views, whether sampling contemporary Japanese delicacies at Zuma, prime steak cuts at Nusr-et or seafood specialties at La Guerite.
The beauty of the Turquoise Coast can be enjoyed with the hotel’s range of activities, from sailing, windsurfing and diving to guided kayak tours and tennis lessons. The holistic Mytha Spa offers nourishing treatments, while the fitness centre and outdoor yoga studio cater to wellness enthusiasts. For aquatic adventures, the Alia Open Sea yacht awaits, while you’re spoilt for choice with five pristine private beaches to visit and three pools.
