Turunc is a small resort set around a sheltered bay just along the coast from Marmaris in Turkey. It offers the same warm Mediterranean sun and clear water but with a calmer, more scenic feel, hemmed in by green pine-clad hills. UK families and couples come for that quieter, prettier version of a Turkish beach holiday.

Smaller and more relaxed than its busy neighbour, Turunc still has easy access to livelier nights out when you want them.

Where to stay in Turunc

Loryma Resort is a four star eco-friendly resort set on a hillside overlooking Turunc Bay, a good choice if you like sea views and a peaceful, green setting just above the shore.

Getting there and when to go

The nearest airports on the south-west Turkish coast handle direct UK flights, with transfers down to Turunc, and you can also reach the bay by boat from Marmaris. The season is hot and sunny from late spring into autumn. High summer is the warmest, while June and September pair fine weather with fewer crowds.

Beaches and resorts

Turunc centres on its sheltered bay, with a sand and shingle beach and calm, clear water that is good for swimming and snorkelling. The hills around the bay give the resort a tucked-away feel, and the gentle water suits families with children.

Food and things to do

Expect Turkish tavernas and bars around the bay serving grilled fish, meze and local dishes alongside holiday favourites. Boat trips along the coast are popular, and the short hop to Marmaris opens up bigger markets, shops and nightlife when you fancy a change.

Who it suits

Turunc suits couples and families who want a calmer, scenic Turkish bay with the option of busier nights nearby. It is less suited to anyone set on a large, action-packed resort strip.
