About Oludeniz

Nestled between pine-clad mountains and one of the Mediterranean’s most photographed beaches, Ölüdeniz is a laid-back coastal gem with views to swoon over. It’s the go-to spot in Turkey for paragliding, beach days, and boat trips to Butterfly Valley. Whether you're after affordable comfort, boutique charm, or all-out luxury, Ölüdeniz has you covered. Stay near the lagoon for romantic getaways, or head into nearby Hisarönü for livelier, family-friendly hotel options with great value.

Some of our Oludeniz Collections:

Whether you're after adventure, history, or just a bit of sun and sea, this area has something for everyone. You can stretch out on the golden sands of the lagoon or Belcekiz Beach, or hop on a boat to Butterfly Valley—a hidden gem with waterfalls, a quiet beach, and even rare Jersey tiger butterflies fluttering about. If you’re into history with a twist, wander through the eerie, abandoned village of Kaya Koy, left empty since 1924 and steeped in legend, or visit the ancient city of Xanthos, where an entire population once chose mass suicide over surrender. For something a little more lively, Fethiye is close by, offering great shopping and the chance to unwind in a traditional Turkish bath.
