Springtime in Turkey at The Mandarin Boutique Hotel – Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice for 2012
Mandarin is a Travellers’ Choice® 2012 Winner on tripadvisor!
Over the past couple of years, we have been delighted by the feedback many of you have posted on tripadvisor, and we have been proud to occupy the top-rated spot amongst the small hotels and B&Bs category in the Fethiye area for some time. To add to our accolades, we have now been named as amongst the best small hotels in all of Turkey in tripadvisor’s annual Travellers’ Choice® Awards. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you who have rated us online, and for all the kind words in your reviews – they really make it all worthwhile for our small team here at Mandarin.
An unspoilt setting, luxurious surroundings and a warm, personal welcome…
Opened in the summer of 2007, Mandarin is a delightful boutique hotel situated in an unspoilt natural setting close to south-west Turkey’s magnificent Turquoise Coast.
Perfect for nature lovers who also value a touch of luxury and a high level of personal service, Mandarin has been designed as a stylish and supremely comfortable hideaway, which nevertheless boasts a pleasantly informal atmosphere without any hint of stuffiness or pretension.
Mandarin comprises just eight guestrooms and thus offers a very intimate ambience, making it the perfect venue for a small group to rent for a special celebration, club event or even a business meeting. However, the hotel is equally suited to romantic couples and guests wishing to stay in unspoilt surroundings, relax in unperturbed peace and perhaps indulge in a few nature-based activities. Please note that, to maintain its air of tranquillity, Mandarin operates a no-children policy (with the exception of group bookings renting the hotel in its entirety).
…introducing one of Turkey’s most exclusive retreats.
Accomodations
Mandarin’s deluxe guestrooms and suites are extraordinarily spacious, and equipped to the highest standards. Bespoke, hand-carved wood furnishings lend the interiors a distinct sense of traditional charm, whilst up-to-the-minute facilities include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, CD/DVD players, fridges, a hospitality tray complete with a kettle and a selection of herbal infusions, tea and coffee.
Each deluxe room benefits from a large balcony or terrace with reclining chairs allowing you to relax and absorb the tranquillity, with particularly magnificent sea views from the upper floor rooms. The same views can be enjoyed through panoramic windows from the jacuzzis inside each room, whilst the particularly well-appointed en-suite bathrooms are provided with hairdryers and a selection of quality toiletries.
The deluxe and junior suites are located in the original Villa Mandarin and have twin beds, whilst the six deluxe rooms in the stylish new building all have super-kingsize four-poster double beds.
Location
Situated just south of the stunning Butterfly Valley, the sleepy hamlet of Faralya is an idyllic retreat, where life continues at a relaxed pace.
And yet this rural haven lies just 9km from the popular seaside resort of Oludeniz, whose famous lagoon beach is one of Turkey’s most photographed images and just 21km from the bustling harbour and market town of Fethiye. The international airport at Dalaman is 80km away and is served by regular flights from all major UK and European airports, as well as offering several daily links with Istanbul for those making connections from further afield.
In spite of Mandarin’s rural setting, a hire car is not strictly necessary, for there is a local taxi and the dolmus service (3 – 9 times per day depending on the season), which serves both Oludeniz and Fethiye, can be flagged down. Those hiring a car or using local taxis can reach the sandy beach of Kidrak in around 10 minutes, whilst Kabak beach is a similar distance in a four-wheel drive vehicle (or a 5-minute drive plus 15 minute walk). Confident swimmers can bathe off the rocks at Aktas, around 20-30 minutes walk away.
