Oludeniz Blu Luxury Unique Hotel is an upscale, adults-only boutique property in the centre of Ölüdeniz, about a two-minute walk from the Ölüdeniz Nature Park, which holds the Blue Lagoon, and roughly ten minutes on foot from the main beach. The room list is the most varied of any hotel we cover in the area, from Deluxe Double rooms with a king bed to Honeymoon rooms, Swim-Up Rooms that share the pool, Swim-Up Suites, Royal Honeymoon and Royal Swim-Up Suites, a Penthouse Suite and a Bohem Honeymoon Room. The outdoor pool has loungers and umbrellas, and the full-service Araxa Spa is open daily. There is an on-site restaurant, a poolside bar, a lounge bar, a coffee shop and a snack bar or deli, and a free full breakfast is served each morning. Free Wi-Fi, free self-parking, a gym, an art gallery and designer stores are also on site, with a 24-hour front desk. Guests rate it 9.6 out of 10 across more than 150 reviews, which is exceptional. Guests under 18 are not admitted, and the minimum check-in age is 18, so the atmosphere is calm and couple-oriented.
Season, stated plainly
The hotel is closed from 1 November to 1 May each year, so it operates only in the warm months. That matches the rhythm of Ölüdeniz as a whole, where many hotels, beach clubs and boat operators shut for the winter. If you travel from May to October, this is one of the most characterful places to stay in the village. Outside those months, base yourself in Fethiye town and visit Ölüdeniz for the day. Always confirm the exact opening dates for the year you are travelling when you check rates.
Location and what you can do from here: because the hotel is in the village centre, the Blue Lagoon park, the beach, the paragliding landing area and the restaurants are all on foot, and dolmuş minibuses connect with Fethiye and Kayaköy. The Babadağ cable car's lower station is nearby, and the Lycian Way passes above the coast on its way towards Faralya and Butterfly Valley. Boat trips to Butterfly Valley and the islands leave from the beach in season, and many tours offer pick-up from central Ölüdeniz hotels.
Who it suits
Honeymooners, couples and friends who want a quiet adults-only base with a good spa and a pool-side room, and who are happy to trade a beach-front setting for a village-centre one. It is not the right choice for families, since children are not admitted, and travellers who want a large resort with entertainment will find it intimate.
Pool access hours are limited to daytime, and the village centre can be lively in the evenings, so ask for a quiet room if you are a light sleeper. Book early for July and August, and check which room types include direct pool access, since the swim-up options are popular.
