D Maris Bay

D Maris Bay sits in a secluded spot on the Datca Peninsula, 36 kilometres from the mountain village of Bayir.

The hotel offers a range of accommodation, from elegant rooms to lavish suites, all with polished wooden floors and fabulous views, and styled in earthy tones, alongside LED TVs and Bose sound systems. They feature floor-to-ceiling windows, or terraces and in-room bathtubs. The deluxe Travertine limestone bathrooms have exclusive amenities specially designed for the hotel.

The duplex presidential suite on the 8th and 9th floors epitomises extravagance, with an expansive outdoor terrace featuring an open-air Jacuzzi and sumptuous Italian furniture. Adjacent to the main building, the exclusive villa has its own hammam and 24-hour butler service, not to mention a spacious garden with private pool. Families with young children will love the spacious family sea view rooms and the villa.

There are numerous bars and restaurants at D Maris Bay: whether you’re after Asian, Turkish, Italian or Greek, there’s something for everyone.

Start the day with a breakfast buffet at the Terrace restaurant, while taking in the beautiful views, and among your choices later in the day are Nusr-Et, a wholesome steakhouse serving the best quality meat in a homey setting, and the award-winning Zuma, which focuses on ‘izakaya’ Japanese-style cuisine, with sharing dishes, including a robata grill. 

In the evening, head to La Guerite, a restaurant, lounge and beach club at the edge of the cove - the perfect place to end the day with a cocktail and sun-kissed Mediterranean dishes.

Unwind with personalised treatments at the spa, or relax in or by the pool while enjoying the views. If you want to be more active, get the adrenaline pumping with personal training sessions or play a game of tennis on one of the tennis courts - improve your technique in one-on-one sessions with a professional instructor.

If you have young ones in tow, there's a kids club, D Kiddies, for 4-12-year-olds. They can enjoy water sports, mountain biking and tennis lessons at the Goran Ivanisevic Tennis School.

Boredom is a word you certainly won’t come across at D Maris Bay, with all the water sports on offer. Try sailing, surfing, water skiing, wakeboarding, diving and kayaking, or if you prefer on-land activities, venture inland on a mountain bike tour.

There are several spectacular beaches to choose from, from Bay Beach, which has an ice cream parlour, and Maris Beach, which has private Jacuzzis, to the 'Silence' Beach, where you can take a nap in a cabana or on a daybed on the pier, suspended above the water.
