Where Is D Maris Bay? Dalaman Airport Transfer Guide 2027

Where is D Maris Bay and how do you get there from Dalaman Airport? One of Turkey's most exclusive resorts, D Maris Bay is listed under Marmaris but is not in Marmaris town. It sits on a pine-covered hillside above its own bay on the Marmaris–Datca road, overlooking Hisaronu Bay.

That changes your travel plans: journey times and transfer prices quoted for central Marmaris hotels don't apply to D Maris Bay.

Where Is D Maris Bay?

D Maris Bay is in Hisaronu, part of the Marmaris district, on the Datca road. It lies at the start of the Datca Peninsula, where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean.

• Province / district: Mugla / Marmaris

• Area: Hisaronu (Marmaris–Datca road)

• Distance to Marmaris centre: about 30–35 km

• Distance to Turgutkoy: a few kilometres

• Nearest airport: Dalaman Airport (DLM)

The resort has five private beaches and is also visited on boat trips from Marmaris.

Don't Confuse It with Hisaronu in Fethiye

Turkey has two places called Hisaronu. The one near Oludeniz in Fethiye is a lively resort village; D Maris Bay is in Hisaronu, Marmaris, on the Datca road. Writing just "Hisaronu" for a taxi or car hire can send you to the wrong region, so always state "D Maris Bay, Marmaris–Datca road".

Distance and Journey Time from Dalaman Airport

• Distance: about 125 km

• Journey time: around 2–2.5 hours depending on traffic and season

• Route: D400 via Ortaca and Koycegiz, Marmaris road at the Gokova junction, onto the Datca road before Marmaris town, via Turgutkoy and Hisaronu to the resort

The stretch after Marmaris is a winding coastal road, so allow at least 30–40 minutes more than for central Marmaris hotels.

Why the Transfer Price Differs from Marmaris

Because D Maris Bay is about 30 km beyond Marmaris on a different route, the transfer price is different from Marmaris hotels. Don't rely on a Marmaris quote. See the area price on our Dalaman Airport – Turgutkoy transfer page and enter "D Maris Bay" as your drop-off.

How to Get from Dalaman Airport to D Maris Bay

1. Private transfer

Over this distance a private transfer is the most practical choice. You're met at the airport and driven to the resort entrance without changes.

• Prices are per vehicle, not per person

• Sedan, minivan and VIP vehicle options

• Free baby and child seats

• Flight tracking; your driver waits if you're delayed

2. Taxi

Possible, but on a 125 km metered journey the fare is high. Always ask for an estimate first.

3. Bus and dolmus

In theory you can take the airport bus to Marmaris and then a Datca or Turgutkoy line, but services are limited and you'd still need to get from the last stop to the resort. Not recommended with luggage.

4. Car hire

A good idea if you want to explore the Datca Peninsula, Selimiye and Bozburun.

Arriving via Bodrum Airport

From Bodrum-Milas Airport the route goes via Marmaris and takes longer. Send us your dates and flight details for a resort-specific price.

Meeting Point

Domestic and international passengers use the same exit at Dalaman. Your driver waits with a name sign at Mavi Transfer desk no. 4. Using the CIP lounge? Add it to your booking notes.

Returning to the Airport

Don't underestimate the drive. We add international check-in time to the 2–2.5-hour journey when setting your pick-up time.

Summary

D Maris Bay is not in Marmaris town but on the Datca road at Hisaronu Bay, about 125 km from Dalaman Airport. Journey time and price differ from Marmaris hotels, and it must not be confused with Hisaronu in Fethiye.
