Derin Mavi Suit Butik Otel

I can say that this was the place where I felt the best among the hotels I have stayed so far. Everything is spotlessly clean, meticulously thought out down to the smallest detail, very attentive and smiling service, a complete family atmosphere, a magnificent breakfast, an extraordinary view. There is nothing missing. Just perfect...

What a gem this suite hotel and Sogut is, I don't know where to start!! This is a family run hotel and everyone couldn't have been more friendly. Nayazi, his wife and parents, are totally charming. Our room was bright and airy with a balcony nearly half the size of the bedroom/living room! Breakfast is amazing with a huge selection of hot and cold items that change each day. Lot's of the vegetables coming from their own garden. Our room was even cleaned when we were at breakfast!! The views are too die for and with a fridge and freezer compartment in your room the sundowners on the balcony went down a treat! Sogut is west facing so the sunsets are spectacular. The beach is stony which is not uncommon for this part of Turkey where a number of sunbathing platforms have been set up. The hotel has its own outside the Yalıbaşı Yasemin Restaurant, also owned by the family, where there are sunbeds for every guest. The very short walk down to the beach each day was such a pleasure and so calming. Walking past chickens, goats, fig trees, pomegranate trees, olive trees and allotments with the brightest purple aubergines you have ever seen. If you want nightlife this is not the place for you. There are a handful of restaurants on the beachfront and a few of pensions in land also have restaurants. Oh and one artesan shop and a minimarket. That's it! Perfect if you want to kick back, chill out and live a simple life for a few days or weeks and forget all about the rat race you've come from. There are plenty of places of visit if your not a sun worshipper. Try the small beach resorts of Orhaniye & Selimiye. Then there's the waterfall at Turgut and the small inland village of Bayir. The boat building town of Bozborun is very close by and a little further away you'll find Turunc if you are missing the usual tourist trappings. We will definitely be back. It reminded us of when we first visited Turkey over 30 years ago and the pace of life we fell in love with

I have been to Derin Mavi two years in a row and I believe there will be more stays in the future. Rooms are spacey, cleaned every day, great view directly facing sunset. What is especially noteworthy is their breakfast, all Turkish breakfasts are good but Niyazi’s are legendary, there are surprises everyday, most food on the table are either homegrown or locally sourced, they prepare your eggs in the way you like and portions are dangerously enormous. Seaside in Sogut is also very nice, clean blue sea, lots of options for boat trips and gourmet restaurants, quiet and hassle free holiday. Sogut is one of the least touristic spots so they managed to stay authentic with donkeys on the road and many native trees. Highly recommended for honeymoon couples as well.
