Petunya Konak Hotel

On Turkey’s sun-soaked Aegean–Mediterranean coast in Icmeler, just outside Marmaris. The hotel sits between pine-clad hills and turquoise waters, with Icmeler Beach reachable in about a 15-minute walk (or a short drive). A weekly market is 200 metres away and Dalaman Airport is roughly an hour by road.

This boutique hotel is wrapped in a quiet botanical garden of tall pines, fruit orchards and bird life. Ottoman and Seljuk–inspired stonework and local craftsmanship give the public spaces an artisanal edge. There are 28 rooms with private balconies offering sea, mountain or pool views, memory-foam beds, flat-screen TVs and minibars, and bathrooms with rainfall showers.

Seasonal outdoor pool and children’s pool, spa area with hot tub and sauna, poolside bar and a bar/lounge for evening drinks. 24-hour reception, concierge services and free self-parking. Expect wake-up sea-breeze mornings and plenty of spots to soak up the Mediterranean sun — a very family-friendly boutique stay.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the hotel and express check-in. Dry cleaning and laundry services, plus on-site parking and concierge support.

On-site restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine prepared with produce from local farmers, led by an expert chef. Complimentary buffet breakfast is included, with room service available during limited hours and poolside drinks to keep things easy and relaxed.
