D Maris Bay (formerly D-Hotel Maris) – Marmaris, Turkey

Intro

Where the Aegean throws a chest-bump to the Mediterranean, D Maris Bay lifts every workout onto a cinematic stage of craggy peaks, pine-scented switchbacks and mirror-calm water—so your next sprint set feels like a highlight reel.

Location & Surroundings

Perched on the Datça Peninsula—an hour-plus coastal drive from Dalaman—D Maris Bay straddles the point where two seas meet, ring-fenced by volcanic mountains and rust-red cliffs. Summers top out near 31 °C and shoulder-season temps hover at a runner-friendly 20-26 °C, with reliable sunshine from April to October, making year-round outdoor training realistic.

Atmosphere & Imagery

Step off the shuttle and you’ll spot triathletes racking bikes beside gleaming catamarans, tennis squads towelling off courtside, and a dawn yoga class saluting the sunrise on Silence Beach while a support boat drifts offshore waiting for the swim set. Lobby staff hand you a cold-pressed pomegranate juice and the bay unfurls 250 m below—instant motivation.

Rooms & Recovery Comfort

196 rooms and suites (Classic Sea View to Presidential Suite & standalone Villa) offer blackout drapes, Etro amenities, balconies for kit-drying, smart climate control and twice-daily housekeeping—so recovery, stretching and gear maintenance slot in effortlessly between sessions.
