The Tamarisk Murat Hotel Ortakent – Bodrum
The Tamarisk Hotel is a family run beach hotel right on the waterfront offering a little piece of paradise and fantastic water sports facilities. It is the ideal spot for relaxing, sun-drenched holidays in beautiful natural surroundings. And just 20 minutes from the cosmopolitan resort town of Bodrum, you can have as much action as you like.
The hotel is situated in Ortakent, a pretty village area dotted with white-washed stone houses and bougainvillea. The hotel’s low-lying rooms and suites are set back from the beach in beautiful Mediterranean gardens bursting with colour. A terrace restaurant overlooking the large pool offers exceptionally delicious Turkish- Mediterranean dining. In the shade of the Tamarisk trees, the Beach Bar quenches your thirst while lazing on the beach, or after an afternoon of water sport activity.
The Tamarisk is all about warm hospitality, good food, relaxation and revitalizing on holiday. We give guests the space to enjoy doing absolutely nothing at all, or to have fun and learn something new in our superbly equipped water sports centre.

Testimonials
“We had an amazing holiday, kids sailed and windsurfed all day, weather was perfect and the Tamarisk Hotel is the ideal location to completely relax and wind down and it has a great sense of community.”
“We booked in to the Tamarisk Murat Otel based on the positive Trip Advisor reviews and had one of the best holidays ever. This is the first year that the owners, Sevilay and Faik Muslu, are going alone from tour companies (previously Crystal Active and Simply Turkey) and will certainly be a success.”
“The hotel is arranged around a long well tended garden with plenty of shade from palms and pine trees. The rooms and suites are divided into small 2 story blocks freshly painted white and blue, each with its own private terrace or balcony.”
“We had not been to Turkey before so didn't really know what to expect. We were delighted with what we found. It is probably the prettiest hotel I have ever stayed in with whitewashed walls and blue painted shutters covered with bourgenvillia, hibiscus and other colourful and scented flowers.”
“My family and I have just returned from our second excellent holiday at the Tamarisk, the first being through Crystal Active but this time independent. We arranged our own flights to Bodrum airport from Gatwick with EasyJet. The Tamarisk organised our airport transfer (approx. 30 min in luxury minivan) and we stayed for two weeks at the Tamarisk on a half-board basis”
