Mustis Royal Plaza Hotel

Away from the busiest parts of the popular resort of Marmaris, the Mustis Royal Plaza offers fantastic facilities and amazing value as you enjoy Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, an all-year-round sunshine destination just a few hours’ travel from the UK.

Marmaris is the coast’s biggest and best resort, with everything from a historic harbour, ancient amphitheatre and traditional Turkish steam baths to big water parks, dolphin swimming experiences and a smart new marina. Linking it all together is a huge, high quality beach that’s a water sports hub with a strip of restaurants and bars serving sun worshippers.

The Mustis Royal Plaza is within walking distance of the beach, though it’s nearly 3km away, and slightly further from the town centre, and has won a fantastic online reputation for its value and facilities.

You’ll be spoiled for choice if you do want to spend some time at the hotel. Kids have their own playground, while mum and dad can chill out in a traditional North African-style Hammam (a steam room), grab a sauna or lay back for a massage. That’s if you’re not spending most of your time lazing around a large outdoor pool or speeding down the water slide.

The staff are always ready to help out, whether that’s arranging car hire for a trip to the beautiful Marmaris mountains, or getting you hooked up to the hotel’s Wi-Fi to post your pool-side selfies. All your practical needs – from safety deposit boxes to a hair salon – are more than covered.

Marmaris styles itself as the most cosmopolitan of Turkey’s resorts, and you can certainly have a great time by spending every day of your holiday in the town. It’s worth exploring further afield in this beautiful area though and boat trips are a popular way to range along the Turkish coast or even off shore to the Greek island of Rhodes.

If you’re considering Turkey for your shot of sunshine this year then Marmaris is one of the best places to enjoy this fascinating country. The Mustis Royal Plaza’s mix of brilliant value with excellent facilities makes it an excellent option in this lively resort town.
