Oludeniz is called the Turkish Maldives for its pale blue lagoon and picturesque nature. Find out what reviews are left about the rest in Oludeniz, what are the prices there and whether it is worth going to the resort in 2021.


Resort experience

A small cozy village located 15 km from Fethiye. The name "Oludeniz" is translated from Turkish as "dead (or calm) sea". The resort is famous for its clean beige beaches, pine trees on the shore and the beautiful Blue Lagoon, which is protected from the open sea by a long sandy bar.

Oludeniz is considered the center of Turkish paragliding. Every year in October, the Air Games Festival is held here, and the sky over the village becomes colorful from multi-colored paragliders.

Alexandra: "This is a paradise for the soul - small hotels, fresh air, many coniferous trees, a village between the mountains. The water is as in the picture - clean and blue, the pebble beach is a super massage for the legs."

Best hotels

If you are used to all inclusive, big hotels and animation, Oludeniz will disappoint. There are no large hotel complexes at this resort yet. People come here not for hotel comfort, but for beautiful nature.

There are about 40 2-5 * hotels built in the bay, there are private boarding houses and apartments. The prices are quite high - this is not a democratic Alanya! In the summer of 2021, a double room in a small guest house costs $ 35-60 per day. Accommodation in a 3 * hotel with breakfast will cost $ 43-85, and prices in 5 * hotels start at $ 160.

Please note when choosing a hotel that many of them are not on the shore, so you will have to walk or take a bus to the beach. The most expensive hotels are by the sea, not even 5-star hotels: Liberty Hotels Lykia 5 * from $ 315 per night, Jade Residence for $ 170, Ecclesia Hotel for $ 170. By the way, many hotels do not accept tourists with children - they have an adult only concept. Look for tours to Oludeniz on Travelate and hotels on Hotelluk.

According to reviews for 2020, Oludeniz's service is decent. The staff is geared towards English speaking tourists. Few people understand Russian.

The village is stretched not along the coast, but inland, so there are not so many hotels near the sea. We have selected the best hotels in Oludeniz "all inclusive" and "ultra all inclusive" on the 1st line:

  • Liberty Hotels Lykia 5 * - 36 hectares of green territory with the "Children's Paradise" complex, a water park, a private beach and a private beach for nudists
  • Oludeniz Resort By Z Hotels 4 * - a paradise garden at the foot of the mountain.
  • Club Meri Hotel 3 * - a hotel on a hill surrounded by pine and olive trees.

All inclusive budget hotels are located not by the sea:

  • Montebello Resort 4 * is a cozy hotel that everyone likes. The beach is 700 meters away.
  • Akdeniz Beach Hotel 3 * - "troika" just 100 meters from the sea.
  • Karbel 3 * - confident "troika" 500 meters from the beach.

Oludeniz beaches

The beaches of Oludeniz are not inferior to the best beaches in Turkey. The coast of the resort is pebbly with small patches of sand. On the main municipal beach Beljekiz (Belcekiz Beach) The water has a postcard bright blue color. The entrance to the sea is by pebbles, the depth grows quickly, and the water without waves is only in the morning hours.

There is a quiet and cozy beach 2 km from the village Kidrak... It is sandy and pebble, with a rather steep entrance to the sea. There is a charge to enter by car, and you can go on foot for free. Buses run to the beach. Tourists in reviews are advised to meet the sunset - you will not see this from Belcekiz beach!

A long spit juts out into the sea near Oludeniz, which forms the famous Blue lagoon... In a protected area, sea water is always warm and calm. There are excellent beaches both on the outside and on the inside of the spit. To enter the beach in the Blue Lagoon, you need to pay 7 liras, the rest of the beaches are free. True, some tourists in reviews about the beaches of the Blue Lagoon complained about cigarette butts and shards of dishes in the sand and wrote that the main beach of Oludeniz is cleaner than its famous neighbor.

Geniux: "I was impressed by the landscape, the beach with excellent air and a quiet warm breeze closer to lunchtime. The sand is pebble in some parts. I advise you to wear slippers. The sea is clean, warm, the sunset is different in different parts of the beach. Sometimes the waves bring garbage from the sea, but this is when the storm is too big. Quite a decent beach for relaxation. "

Evgeniy: "Divinely. The coolest" sea water pool "I've seen. Ideal for children, as the entrance is shallow and there are never waves. It's better to visit in the morning, when there are fewer people."

Vacation with children

Parents love the small Turkish resort. A new landscape and entertainment park has been built in Oludeniz, and a playground has been opened on the embankment. In the village of Ovacik, not far from Oludeniz, there is the Water World water park. Swim with children in the warm Blue Lagoon and take a trip to the picturesque Valley of the Butterflies! A nice bonus - children under 7 years old can participate in many excursions for free.

justrest: "The cost of a sea excursion to 6 islands was only $ 15 per adult, children under 7 sailed for free. During the walk, you land on 1-2 beaches and swim in the sea. The impressions are wonderful."

When is the best time to go

The beach season starts in May and lasts until mid-October. It is still cool to swim in spring, so most vacationers come in summer and early autumn.

The hottest weather in the resort is in August. During the daytime, the thermometer rises to + 35 ° C and above. Parents with babies and elderly tourists are advised to plan a vacation in Oludeniz in June or September.

Ivanna: "In August, the maximum daytime air temperature reached + 37 ° C. It was, of course, hot, but by the evening it became quite comfortable, and you could safely walk along the embankment and sit in a cafe."

Conclusions: is it worth going

According to tourists' reviews, holidays in Oludeniz are suitable for lovers of beach relaxation, yachting, good excursions, sea fishing and paragliding. The main disadvantage of the Turkish resort is not too neat construction of new hotels. Hopefully, the status of the national park will not allow to destroy the beautiful nature of this unique corner of Turkey.
