The Dogus Group are delighted to announce the opening of their newest spa hotel, The D-Resort Gocek. The luxury property opens its doors for the first time this June, offering guests an enticing merger of natural and stunning Turkish coastline with modern and majestic interiors. The Dogus Group’s latest addition to their hotel collection can be found in the Turkish coastal village of Gocek, which offers delightful panoramic views of both the sea and dramatic forest-clad mountain rages. Visitors to D-Resort Gocek benefit from its secluded beaches whilst still having easy access to the marinas located in town. The area is rich in history and offers a mixture of picturesque beaches and islands along with a range of fascinating historical sites due to its location at the heart of ancient Lycia.

Despite the serenity found in the resort, accessibility is a key advantage. The hotel is a mere 20 minutes by car from Dalaman airport and only 4 hours flying time from London Gatwick. The beaches are only steps from the resort, which has the unique distinction of being the only beach fronted property in Gocek. The hotel also provides complimentary bikes for those who would like to explore further afield. Additionally D-Resort Gocek offers a range of fantastic water sports facilities as well as the option of chartering the hotel’s own magnificent Sunseeker speedboat for those more nautically inclined.

The D-Spa is the epitome of luxury, spanning 1500 meters2 and home to brand new state of the art Techno-Gym equipment. Furthermore it hosts a luxury hammam carved from the finest Turkish marble, private abachi saunas, vitality pools, single and double treatment rooms and an unparalleled range of other services. The spa uses only ESPA products and all therapists fully qualified ESPA representatives who offer a full range of body and beauty treatments. For those really looking to indulge in the tranquillity the resort offers, private massages are available along a secluded beach.
