Hisaronu Holidays

Hisaronu is a lively hillside resort in Turkey’s Dalaman region, set just inland from the coast between Fethiye and Oludeniz. It is a popular choice for UK holidaymakers who want a relaxed base with plenty of places to eat and drink, while still being close to some of the area’s best-known beaches and natural sights.

The resort itself has a friendly, informal feel, with most of the action centred around its main streets. You will find a good choice of restaurants serving Turkish favourites such as grilled meats, meze and fresh salads, alongside familiar international menus. There are also cafés, bars and shops selling holiday essentials, souvenirs and beachwear. Evenings are generally upbeat rather than formal, with sports bars, music bars and relaxed terraces where you can sit out after dinner. It is a good option if you like having nightlife within easy reach, without staying directly on the coast.

Hisaronu does not have its own beach, but it is well placed for visiting nearby Oludeniz, famous for its Blue Lagoon and sheltered turquoise water. The beaches around Oludeniz can be reached by local transport or taxi, making day trips straightforward. Fethiye is also close by and offers a harbour, old town streets, markets and waterfront restaurants, giving a different pace from the resort.

For things to do, Hisaronu works well as a base for exploring the surrounding area. Popular options include boat trips from Oludeniz or Fethiye, walking sections of the Lycian Way, visiting the ghost village of Kayakoy, or taking in the views from the hills above the coast. The wider area is also known for paragliding from Babadag mountain, with flights landing near Oludeniz beach, although this is best booked with a reputable operator.

Holidays to Hisaronu suit couples, groups and families with older children who want a sociable resort atmosphere, easy access to restaurants and bars, and simple day trips to beaches and local sights. It is especially convenient for travellers who prefer a resort with everything close by but do not mind travelling a short distance to the sea.
