DATCA, TURKEY’S COASTAL GEM
“The spindly, 50-mile-long Datca peninsula in Turkiye’s Muğla province is a dagger of pure green at the meeting point of the Aegean and the Mediterranean, and is as unsullied as south-west Turkiye gets.” This is how The Guardian described the area in one of its travel reports on the region. Strabo, the geographer is also quoted as saying, “God sent his beloved creatures to Datça for them to live longer.” This is quite some praise.
It’s true, Datca is glorious and remarkably unspoiled compared to the glitz and glamour of Bodrum and Yalikavak to its North, and the somewhat over-commercial Marmaris to the South. Datca is a retreat offering a pretty traditional Old Town, some fabulous new boutique hotels and spas, a growing number of great restaurants and bars; there’s also a good selection of shops and boutiques. The waters and bays surrounding the village are some of the most beautiful bays along the coast. It’s a location certainly worth visiting now before it fills with the package-holiday crowd and all the faff and frills that come with the main resorts.
DATCA D-MARIS HOTEL & SPA
Tucked away high on the hillside of the Datça Peninsula you will find an exclusive resort specifically aimed at the wealthy. Framed by pine forest and volcanic mountains, and offering breathtaking sea views over 5 unspoiled beaches and a selection of islands, D Hotel Maris is the ideal onshore escape sure to please anyone seeking peace and serenity.
Yachts have to make their initial entry from Datca Town which can be easily organised by 360° Yachting. After clearance, you can move on to anchor close to D Maris Hotel. Due to high demand and limited space, we highly recommend you let us organise anchorage before arrival. Guests can then be given a day-pass and brought to the hotel by tender to enjoy their time in the grounds, restaurant, spa or overnight should they wish.
