Map & location
Dalyan, Dalaman Area, Turkey
Dalyance Hotel sits in the sleepy riverside resort of Dalyan, a place where life drifts by at the same easy pace as the boats on the river. From here you’re close enough to wander into town for dinner on the promenade, yet just far enough from the main drag to keep things peaceful.
Dalyan is all about nature and heritage – think boat rides past the dramatic Lycian rock tombs, mud baths on Lake Köyceğiz and day trips to Iztuzu Beach, famous for its loggerhead turtles. With language, currency and local costs all pleasantly straightforward, it’s a relaxed base whether you’re new to Turkey or a returning fan.
- Resort centre (Dalyan) 600m
- riverside promenade 600m
- Iztuzu / nearest beach (by road/boat) 12km
- Dalaman Airport (DLM) 25km
- Approx. transfer time from airport 40 minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Days at Dalyance tend to revolve around the neat outdoor saltwater pool – a calm space with a separate children’s section, surrounded by sunbeds and parasols. Inflatables are permitted, and complimentary pool towels mean you can pack a little lighter.
The nearest beach is at Iztuzu, around 12km away and easily reached by public boat or road, where you can combine a swim-and-sunbathe day with turtle spotting and a wander along its wild, protected sands.
Please note: pool facilities and opening times may vary by season and weather.
Spa, sports & wellness
This is very much a slow-down-and-relax kind of place. While there’s no on-site spa or full sports programme, Dalyan itself offers plenty of outdoor experiences – from river boat trips and lakeside mud baths to hiking trails and cycling routes you can arrange locally.
On site you’ll find:
• Outdoor saltwater pool with children’s section
• Sun terrace with loungers and parasols
• Restaurant with highchairs and children’s menu
• Reception with concierge-style help, currency exchange and luggage storage
Information is based on the previous season and may be subject to change.

Food & drink
Start the day with a relaxed buffet-style Turkish breakfast on the terrace – olives, cheeses, fresh bread, fruit and eggs alongside international favourites. The friendly Dalyance Bistro Restaurant serves a mix of international, British, Turkish and local dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a kids’ menu and highchairs available.
Later, the Dalyance Bar and cocktail terrace is the social heart of the hotel, pouring local and international drinks plus light bites through the day and into the evening.
