Jiva Beach Resort luxury seaside holiday

Jiva Beach Resort sits right on Calis Beach, just north of Fethiye in south-west Turkey. The sand starts about three metres from the grounds, so the sea is the first thing you reach when you step outside. Karatas Beach is a short walk along the shore, and the town of Fethiye is around six kilometres south for harbour walks and markets. Dalaman Airport sits about 29 kilometres out, which keeps the transfer short once you are off the plane.

The booking covers an Attic Double room with pool view on an all-inclusive board, so meals and drinks are part of the stay. The room has a double bed, a private bathroom and a TV, with a layout under the eaves that looks out over the pool. Outside the room the resort runs pools, a spa and on-site dining, and the all-inclusive plan means you can eat and drink without adding to the bill as you go.

Calis Beach runs along the front of the resort, with a long promenade good for an evening walk. Karatas Beach is about 1.6 kilometres away if you want a change of scene. Fethiye town centre, roughly 5.7 kilometres south, has a working fishing harbour, a fish market where restaurants cook your pick, and boats out to the Gulf of Fethiye. Day trips to Oludeniz and the Blue Lagoon are an easy drive from this stretch of coast.

Good fit for couples after a beach base with the lot bundled into one price. The all-inclusive board and pool-view room make it easy to settle in, while Fethiye and the wider coast are close enough for days out when you want them.
