A sanctuary of serenity amidst the Aegean’s beauty, D Maris Bay is perched atop a hill covered with pine trees on the Datça Peninsula in Turkey. It’s just 30 minutes from Marmaris and the nearest airports are Dalaman (1.3hrs) and Bodrum (2hrs). Nestled in the majestic mountains, D Maris Bay is a jewel on Turkey’s southwestern coast. Surrounded by 800 hectares of protected land, the resort is part of the unspoiled beauty of the region. Visit and you can expect to receive a seamless blend of relaxation, wellness, adventure and Mediterranean hospitality.
D Maris Bay boasts all the holiday must haves – breathtaking views, dazzling white beaches, calm turquoise waters and a serene atmosphere. The light-coloured granite and airy marble interiors are bathed in sunlight, while floor-to-ceiling windows offer mesmerising sea views. A funicular takes you from the main hotel down to the five pristine beaches – the aptly-named Silence Beach really is a must for anyone looking to disconnect from the outside world.
The hotel season is from April to October.
The Spa
Mytha Spa
Mytha Spa is a destination in itself. It draws inspiration from ancient Turkish healing traditions but also offers cutting-edge wellness practices and therapies inspired by more modern techniques. Whether you’re new to Hamman or a dedicated fan, the spa’s signature Hammam ritual is a must-try. It begins with a gentle exfoliation using a traditional kese mitt, followed by a deep cleansing foam massage and ending with a nourishing body mask made from local ingredients like olive oil, honey and rose.
The facilities are state of the art and include a sauna, steam room and an indoor pool as well as a hot tub, thermal pool and fully equipped gym. There are scenic yoga and open-air private meditation spaces for reflection and mindfulness. This is an environment that invites your to immerse yourself in nature, with guided sessions that allow you to connect with the peace of the surrounding landscapes including yoga and meditation at the pavilion.
