Map & location
Olu Deniz, Dalaman Area, Turkey
Olu Deniz is one of Turkey’s most photographed spots, thanks to its dazzling Blue Lagoon backed by dramatic mountains and pine forest. Oludeniz Beach Resort by Z Hotels makes the most of that setting, just 50m from the main beach and an easy 200m walk from the compact resort centre, where you’ll find cafés, bars, shops and paragliders swooping down at sunset.
It’s a laid-back base with no high-rises in sight, yet close enough to Fethiye and other nearby towns for day trips, boat tours and coastal hikes if you want to explore beyond the bay.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Water babies are in luck here: there are three outdoor freshwater pools to choose from.
The main pool is the social hub, with plenty of sunbeds and parasols plus inflatables and water toys allowed – ideal for families. A dedicated children’s pool sits close by so younger guests can paddle safely. For grown-ups wanting a bit more peace, there’s an adults-only pool with its own sunbathing area.
All pools are typically open from early April to early/mid November, weather and occupancy permitting, and facilities may vary slightly between them.
When you’re ready for sand between your toes, the public beach is just 50m away, with that classic Olu Deniz backdrop of turquoise water and paragliders drifting overhead.

Food & drink
The resort’s All Inclusive programme keeps things simple, with three restaurants and three bars to rotate through.
The main buffet restaurant is the heart of the action, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with international favourites, Turkish dishes, a kids’ corner, highchairs and even microwaves for the little ones. A separate snack restaurant by the pool handles lighter bites and lunch, with show-cooking and children’s options.
In the evening, you can book into the à la carte restaurant (seasonal, reservations required; supplements may apply) for a more intimate dinner with international dishes. Drinks are poured across three bars – lobby bar, pool bar and an adults-only pool bar – covering local wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, hot drinks and soft drinks for a minimum of 14 hours per day under the All Inclusive package.
Smart-casual dress is usually expected indoors (no beachwear inside the restaurants), and opening hours vary by season and occupancy. What All Inclusive typically includes.
