Activities

Guests can enjoy a lazy day at Dalya Life, relaxing by the outdoor pool, swimming in the stream or reading out in the gardens. There are some great beaches nearby and some good fishing spots. Gocek is home to a world-class yachting bay and the area is great for island hopping and cruising. Guests can reach the gorgeous Twelve Islands by private charter, fishing boat or yacht. The ancient Lycian tombs are within easy reach, as is Iztuzu Beach which is still home to the endangered Loggerhead turtle. The Turquoise Coast is great for water sports including waterskiing and scuba-diving. Gocek Bay is also suitable for diving and courses are available in Fethiye, 25 km away.

Dining

Relaxation is the order of the day and Dalya Life provide a leisurely breakfast service with no time limit. Take breakfast in-room, on your private verandah, on the communal terrace or out in the garden under the century-old liquid amber trees where a beautiful spread will be laid out for you of cheeses, honey, organic olives and olive oil, homemade jams and pastries, eggs from the Dalya Life chickens and freshly-picked peppers and tomatoes from the fields. Gul, the owner-chef, provides the excellent meals, all made from fresh, locally-farmed produce and vegetables from their own garden. The dinner menu changes each day with a variety of traditional dishes and vegetarians are well catered for. Enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail at the riverside bar.
