Marti Resort Hotel has been recognized by Luxury Lifestyle Awards with the title of Best Luxury Beachfront Hotel in Marmaris, Turkey for 2026, reflecting its established position as a heritage-driven coastal destination offering a multi-generational hospitality experience.

Located in İçmeler, Marmaris, Marti Resort Hotel operates as part of Martı Hotels & Marinas and holds a distinctive place in Türkiye’s hospitality landscape, having originally opened in 1969 as the country’s first resort hotel. The property has evolved into a destination that integrates its historical identity with contemporary guest expectations, maintaining its architectural character while introducing modern enhancements aligned with current travel preferences.

The resort is defined by its destination-led concept, offering a family-oriented environment where privacy and shared experiences coexist. Its Aegean-inspired design, expansive landscaped areas, and beachfront setting support a balanced guest experience, accommodating families, couples, and individual travelers. A 12-kilometer beachfront walking path and thoughtfully designed communal spaces contribute to an atmosphere centered on outdoor engagement and relaxed coastal living. In addition, its pet-friendly approach allows guests to travel comfortably with their pets, reinforcing the hotel’s inclusive hospitality philosophy and making it a preferred choice for modern multi-generational travel.

Marti Resort Hotel’s approach to development emphasizes preservation-led renewal. Recent updates have focused on enhancing guest comfort and spatial flow through redesigned living areas, open-kitchen dining concepts, improved communal environments and the renovation of the spa facilities to further elevate the wellness experience, while maintaining the property’s original character. This evolution extends to its year-round operational model, with indoor facilities and seasonal programming supporting both summer stays and quieter off-season retreats.

The guest experience is shaped by continuity and familiarity, supported by a recognition-based service culture and a long-standing team. Returning guests, including multi-generational visitors, contribute to a consistent sense of place, while operational practices and feedback systems ensure quality across accommodation, dining, and leisure offerings.

As a proud sponsor of L’Etape Marmaris by Tour de France, Martı Resort continues to support sports and contribute to its local community through initiatives such as Martı Sports Academy, while reinforcing its commitment to education and youth development through the schools established by its founder.

“This recognition reflects our long-standing approach to hospitality, where heritage and continuity guide every aspect of the guest experience. Our focus remains on preserving the character of Marti Resort Hotel while adapting thoughtfully to evolving expectations, ensuring relevance across generations of travelers.”
