Blue Palace

The recently renovated, 3-star Blue Palace aparthotel is on the outskirts of Marmaris, a resort town set in a beautiful bay in southern Turkey. This location shows a quieter side of Marmaris, with gentle sea breezes to keep you cool and a chance to relax away from the hubbub of the centre. There's a spa and wellness centre, games rooms for adults and children, free WiFi and a lounge with large-screen TV.

The Blue Palace offers a warm welcome to families and couples, with its selection of tastefully furnished double apartments, each with a fully equipped kitchenette. For lazy days you can lounge by one of two outdoor swimming pools, with a children's pool and play area, or treat yourself to a relaxing massage in the wellness centre. The hotel has its own garden, so you can recharge your batteries with nature's own therapy. The hotel also keeps you entertained with regular activities and shows – you may have the opportunity to learn some Turkish dancing for example, and there are regular poolside barbecues.

The Blue Palace aparthotel is close to a sand and shingle beach, where you can swim in the crystalline waters, or enjoy some water sports such as parascending, diving, sailing, or jetskiing. You can investigate the fascinating local islands and secret bays on a boat trip from the port, or explore the local mountains on a hike. Also on offer are biking and horse-riding, and off-roading in jeeps. Marmaris is famous for its intense nightlife, with plenty of clubs, bars and restaurants.
