D Maris Bay

B Corp
Contact us

The D Maris Bay is a contemporary hotel set high on a cliff on the rugged Datca Peninsula in southwest Turkey. Crystal clear waters stretch out in front of the hotel, which has exclusive use of five unspoilt sandy beaches that can be accessed by funicular or water taxi. 

The 196 spacious guestrooms include 36 suites on the upper floors and an exclusive villa, with beautiful mountain or sea views. The hotel has a number of swimming pools, an indoor spa and a good range of restaurant options.

Why we like D Maris Bay

From almost every angle, there are magical views overlooking southern Turkey. The lovely beaches – with their fantastic seclusion – top this off, as well as the remarkable choice of outdoor sports.

Facilities

As well as access to five beautiful private beaches, the D Maris Bay offers all the facilities you would expect of a hotel of this style. Five individually-themed restaurants are complemented by seven well-stocked bars. There is also a gym, tennis school and spa, with the latter boasting 12 individual treatment rooms.

Activities

Whilst many chose to simply relax and soak in the idyllic location at D Maris Bay, there are also a wide range of watersports on offer for those who are looking for something more active. The in-house activity centre offers water skiing, wakeboarding, windsurfing and catamaran sailing, as well as scuba diving. Other options include kayak tours, paddle boarding and boat trips to nearby islands.
