Map & location
Dalyan, Dalaman Area, Turkey
Dalyan Live Spa Hotel sits in the peaceful outskirts of Dalyan, one of Turkey’s most characterful small resorts. You’re close enough to wander to riverside cafés and restaurants, yet just far enough back for quieter nights and a more local feel.
The Dalyan River, with its traditional boats, famous mud baths and views of the cliff‑carved Lycian rock tombs, is a short hop away. From the riverfront, you can take scenic boat trips through the reed beds to Iztuzu Beach – a protected stretch of sand where loggerhead turtles nest between May and October.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 40 minutes from Dalaman (DLM)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s outdoor spaces are all about calm, low-key relaxation. Two saltwater pools form the heart of the property, framed by whitewashed walls, greenery and a generous spread of loungers and hammocks.
Pools
• Main outdoor saltwater pool with spacious sunbathing terrace, sunbeds, hammocks and parasols (typically open 01 Apr–31 Oct)
• Separate outdoor saltwater children’s pool, ideal for younger guests, with its own sunbathing area and baby‑changing facilities
• Inflatables are generally permitted, adding some fun for families
There’s no direct beach, but Dalyan’s big draw is the river. From the nearby waterfront you can take one of the classic Dalyan boat trips down to Iztuzu (Turtle) Beach for a day of soft sand, shallow waves and protected nature.

Food & drink
The food scene at Dalyan Live Spa Hotel is simple but well executed, centred around a smart poolside restaurant and friendly bars that keep the laid-back feel going into the evening.
You can look forward to a Turkish-influenced buffet breakfast as part of your Bed & Breakfast stay, with fresh breads, cheeses, olives and hot options to set you up for a day on the river or in the spa. Later on, the à la carte menu leans into local flavours and meze, with international favourites for less adventurous palates.
