Fantasia Hotel Marmaris

Fantasia Hotel Marmaris details

In a prime position on Icmeler Bay, this recently refurbished hotel was made for relaxed beach holidays.

Having recently been given a bit of a makeover, this place looks like something out of an interior design magazine. Take the lobby, for example. It’s all cool marble floors, funky flower arrangements and plump mushroom sofas. Plus, there’s a glass wall which showcases the pool and the beach. Move through to the bedrooms, and you’ll be greeted by chic furnishings, polished wood and contemporary light fittings. Each one comes with a balcony, as well as a walk-in shower, a minibar and a satellite TV.

Elsewhere, a swimming pool sits in the middle of a terrace flanked by loungers and parasols, while sky-high palm trees dot the surrounding grounds. Plus, given you’re just footsteps from the beach, you get great views of the sea and the mountains from your sunbed.

In terms of what else there is to do, you’ll find a gym, a sauna, a Turkish bath and a lengthy list of spa treatments on offer.

There’s plenty of choice when it comes to food as well, with the Sapphire restaurant serving up Turkish and Mediterranean favourites. Later in the evening, the bar offers up cocktails and a place to unwind.

Lastly, you’re in a great spot location-wise if you’re after a fly-and-flop break. The hotel overlooks Icmeler Bay, which means there’s a long stretch of sand just metres away. You’ll find watersports on the beach, such as jet-skiing and parasailing. Plus, there’s a diving centre nearby. As for the shops, bars and restaurants of Icmeler, they’re just a ten-minute walk away.
