Club Turquoise

The resort and setting

Club Turquoise sits in Armutalan, on the edge of Marmaris, within easy walking distance of the town's marina. Google reviewers (4.3/5 from 274 ratings) describe it as a relaxed, no-frills hotel-style property with a restaurant/bar, an outdoor pool and a snack bar — straightforward self-catering or half-board accommodation rather than a luxury complex. It suits owners and renters who want a simple, affordable base for sun, swimming and easy access to town, rather than a resort with extensive on-site facilities.

The area and things to do

Marmaris is one of Turkey's best-known resort towns, built around a lively marina packed with yachts and gulet boats, and an Old Town bazaar where leather goods, spices and Turkish crafts are traded along a maze of narrow lanes. From the harbour, day boats run out to Dalyan's river delta and the Blue Lagoon, both popular full-day excursions. A little further afield, Icmeler Beach and the Nimara Caves make for an easy half-day trip, around 15km from the resort.

Evenings in Marmaris tend to revolve around seafood restaurants along the waterfront and the bars of the town centre, while the surrounding pine-covered hills and coastline are well suited to boat trips, water sports and simple beach days. It's a town geared toward holidaymakers of all ages, with enough going on to fill a week without needing a hire car.

Selling or renting a week here

Club Turquoise is sold and rented owner-to-owner on BidMyTimeshare.com: sellers list their week directly, set their own asking price, and buyers contact them through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to advertise.

Because Club Turquoise is an independent resort, any resale here goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded developer. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, sellers and buyers should both confirm directly with the resort or management office: the current transfer fee for changing the week into a new owner's name, whether the association holds any right of first refusal on a resale, how long the transfer process typically takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. None of these figures are standardised across independent resorts, so it's worth getting them in writing before any deposit changes hands.

A resale buyer at an independent resort typically receives the usage rights to the week itself once the transfer is completed by management — but shouldn't assume anything beyond that (such as loyalty points, bonus weeks, or exchange company membership) is automatically included unless it's confirmed in writing as part of the sale.

Practical notes for owners and renters

Renters looking at Club Turquoise are generally after an easy, affordable Marmaris base — walkable to the marina and bazaar, with a pool on site and seafront dining nearby — rather than an extensive spa or activity programme. Being upfront in a listing about the simplicity of the facilities (no-frills rooms, a pool, a restaurant/bar and snack bar) helps set the right expectations and attracts renters looking for exactly that.

The best weather for a stay runs roughly from April to October, when the sea is calm enough for swimming and water sports; July and August are the busiest months and should be booked well ahead. Dalaman International Airport, around 90km away, is the usual gateway for visitors flying in.
