Complete Guide to Marmaris Holiday Packages from the UK
What Are Marmaris Holiday Packages?
Marmaris holiday packages combine multiple elements of your trip into one convenient booking, typically including flights from UK airports, accommodation at your chosen hotel, airport transfers, and optional extras like excursions or car hire. By booking a package, you often save significantly compared to booking each element separately, while also benefiting from ATOL protection and the convenience of having everything arranged by travel experts.
Types of Marmaris Holiday Packages Available
We offer five main categories of Marmaris holiday packages, each designed for different traveller types:
- Classic Marmaris Holidays: Traditional beach holidays with 7-14 nights, perfect for couples and families seeking sun, sea, and relaxation
- Winter Sun & Long Stay: Extended stays of 14-42 nights, ideal for retirees and winter sun seekers escaping the UK cold
- Active & Experience: Walking holidays, cycling camps, and adventure-focused packages for outdoor enthusiasts
- Solo & Social: No single supplement packages with group activities and social events for solo travellers
- Luxury & Special Interest: Yacht charters, boutique hotels, and premium experiences for discerning travellers
Why Book a Package Instead of DIY?
While it's possible to book flights and hotels separately, Marmaris holiday packages offer several key advantages. Package holidays are ATOL protected, meaning your money is safe if the travel company fails. You'll typically save 20-40% compared to booking separately, as tour operators negotiate bulk rates with hotels and airlines. Packages also include airport transfers, eliminating the stress of arranging transport in a foreign country. Finally, you have a single point of contact for any issues, rather than dealing with multiple providers.
How to Choose the Right Package for You
Consider your travel style, budget, and priorities when selecting a Marmaris package. Families should look for hotels with kids clubs and family-friendly facilities. Couples might prefer adults-only resorts or romantic boutique hotels. Active travellers should choose packages that include excursions or are based in areas with good access to hiking and water sports. Budget-conscious travellers can save by choosing shoulder season dates (May, June, September) or all-inclusive packages that eliminate unexpected costs.
Best Time to Book Marmaris Packages
For summer holidays (June-August), book 6-9 months in advance to secure early bird discounts of up to 40%. For shoulder season travel (May, September, October), booking 3-4 months ahead offers good availability and prices. Last-minute deals (within 6 weeks of departure) can offer significant savings if you have flexible dates, though choice may be limited. Winter sun packages (November-March) often have the best availability and lowest prices, perfect for long stays.
What's Included in Our Packages?
All our Marmaris packages include return flights from UK airports, accommodation at your chosen hotel, and airport transfers. Depending on the package type, you may also receive meals (half board, full board, or all-inclusive), excursions, travel insurance, and additional perks like spa treatments or room upgrades. We clearly list what's included in each package, so you know exactly what you're paying for with no hidden surprises.
Customising Your Marmaris Package
Unlike large online travel agents, we specialise in creating personalised Marmaris packages tailored to your exact requirements. Want to extend your stay? Add extra nights. Prefer a different meal plan? We can arrange that. Need specific flight times or a particular room type? Just ask. We work directly with Marmaris hotels and have the flexibility to create bespoke packages that major booking sites can't offer.
Payment Options and Deposit Requirements
We offer flexible payment options to make your Marmaris holiday more affordable. Most packages require a deposit of £100-200 per person at booking, with the balance due 6-8 weeks before departure. We also offer interest-free payment plans, allowing you to spread the cost over several months. All payments are ATOL protected, and we accept major credit cards, debit cards, and bank transfers.
Marmaris vs. Other Turkish Resorts
Compared to other Turkish resorts like Bodrum, Antalya, or Fethiye, Marmaris offers a unique combination of beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and excellent value for money. It's more lively than Dalyan but less crowded than Antalya, making it perfect for those who want both relaxation and entertainment. The marina and old town add character, while the surrounding area offers incredible day trip opportunities to places like Pamukkale and Ephesus.

We specialise in group packages for 10+ people, offering discounted rates, dedicated group coordinators, and special arrangements like private dining or excursions. Whether it's a milestone birthday, hen party, or family reunion, we can create a package that brings everyone together in this stunning Mediterranean destination.
