Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort & Spa

A drive of only 20km from Dalaman Airport takes you to this luxurious family-friendly complex. It’s situated just off the Aegean Coast, boasting its own private beach. Ten swimming pools, a spa, an extensive selection of restaurants, tennis courts and a fully equipped gym are just some of the amenities you’ll find here.

Kidz Paradise caters for children and teenagers of all ages, whatever they are into. Maybe they’ll play in the games room, dress up for a costume party, learn to cook, watch a movie or dance at the disco. Three of the pools are just for the young guests and if they aren’t into swimming, there’s still hours of fun to be had on the waterslides. Meanwhile, parents can take it easy in the spa, boasting no less than 18 treatment rooms, four saunas, a Turkish bath, a steam room and a relaxation pool.

Turkish and international buffets are served in the Sarigerme restaurant. As well as being open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, there’s a supper service from 11:30pm to 2am. But that isn’t the only option for your evening meal, there’s five further a la carte restaurants where the chef expertly prepares different dishes from around the world. So don’t forget your tastebud’s passport if you want to visit the Italian, Far East or Indian options. The collection is completed with Turkish and seafood eateries. Please note dining at the a la carte restaurants requires a reservation and incurs an additional charge.

Alternatively, visit Vento Bistro for an evening BBQ by the sea. It’s also open for lunch when pizzas, burgers, salads and wraps are served. If you get peckish mid-afternoon, Gözleme House rustles up flatbreads with a choice of fillings, while Breeze Snack provides kebabs, pastas and much more between the hours of 1 and 5pm. For a freshly brewed coffee accompanied by a cake or ice cream there’s Citrus Patisserie, open from 10am to 10pm.

There’s no shortage of places to drink either. You can relax with your favourite beverage in the lobby, poolside, on the beach or on the roof. The Pianoforte Bar doesn’t close, so whatever the time is, you can enjoy a cold refreshing beverage.

Whatever your group size, there’s a room type to suit you. The hotel has over 500 guest rooms, with options that sleep three, four, five, six and seven! Choose whether you would like a view of the sapphire blue Aegean Sea, one of the Dalaman Stream or if you prefer to admire the resort’s own gardens. If you like a spontaneous swim, you can select a room with direct pool access. The Family options boast a king size bed for the parents and queen size beds in a separate room for the kids. This makes them ideal, even if your children are teenagers who are now taller than you are! All room types have both air conditioning and room heating, making Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme a great choice, whatever month of the year you choose to visit.

The hotel’s location makes it an ideal place to learn to windsurf, dive, kiteboard, paddle board or wingfoil (age restrictions apply for some activities). Alternatively you can stay on dry land, where there’s opportunities to partake in archery, a game of beach volleyball, or to join a yoga or Zumba session.

Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme is just over 30km from Dalyan, an unmissable destination where ancient rock tombs are surrounded by green, natural beauty. On the way back, stop off at Iztuzu Beach, a nesting ground for loggerhead turtles. If you’re interested in learning what is being done to protect this threatened species you can visit the conservation centre.
