About Sarıgerme

About Sarıgerme

Sarıgerme pairs a long Blue Flag beach of soft golden sand with shallow, child-safe water and a backdrop of fragrant pine forest. It is one of the closest resorts to Dalaman Airport (DLM), so a private transfer reaches your hotel in barely 15 to 20 minutes.

Relaxed, green and family-first. Sarıgerme feels more like a tidy resort village wrapped in pine forest than a party town, with quiet days on the sand, gentle evenings around hotel pools, and a small cluster of shops and tavernas in Osmaniye village for anyone who wanders inland.

Best season
Late May to early October. July and August are hot and busy and best for guaranteed beach weather, while June and September bring warm seas, lighter crowds and more comfortable temperatures for golf and walking. Note the brisk afternoon north-westerly breeze that often picks up over the open beach.
Hidden gem · Osmaniye village evenings
Just 850 metres inland from the sand, the original village of Osmaniye is the area's real heart. Skip the hotel buffet one night for a family-run Turkish grill here, where the prices are local, the gözleme is hand-rolled, and the pace slows right down.
What Sarıgerme is famous for

Six reasons people choose Sarıgerme

The standout features that set Sarıgerme apart from every other Antalya region.

🏖️
Long sandy beach
A wide, kilometres-long stretch of fine golden sand that shelves gently into warm, shallow water, ideal for paddling toddlers and lazy swimmers alike.
🌲
Pine forest setting
The shoreline backs onto dense umbrella-pine forest rolling up the hills behind, scenting the air with resin and shading the walking paths between hotels and the dunes.
Golf resort destination
The new 18-hole championship course at the Hilton Dalaman Sarıgerme, running roughly 6,728 yards from the back tees, makes the area a rising name for golf holidays on the coast.
🏨
Family all-inclusives
Large, polished resorts such as the Hilton Dalaman Sarıgerme Resort & Golf and TUI BLUE Sarıgerme Park offer ultra all-inclusive dining, multiple pools and aqua parks for every age.
🐢
Protected coastline
The unspoilt, low-rise dunes form part of a sensitive natural shoreline, with the nearby Köyceğiz-Dalyan reserve giving the whole bay a calm, green, undeveloped feel.
🏝️
Baba Island view
Tiny Baba Ada sits just offshore, a green islet topped with Roman-era tomb ruins that frames the bay and is an easy hop by boat or kayak from the beach.

Day cruises run to the Dalyan delta about 30 minutes away, gliding past the rock-cut Lycian tombs of Kaunos to İztuzu turtle beach and the famous riverside mud baths.

Paddle to Baba Island
Hire a kayak or join a short boat trip to circle Baba Ada, snorkel the rocky far side and spot the weathered Roman tombs scattered across the islet.

Try the water sports
The open bay and reliable afternoon breeze suit windsurfing, kitesurfing and parasailing, with banana boats and pedalos for easier family fun.

Quiet, flat lanes thread between the resorts, the village and the forest edge, perfect for a relaxed bike ride or an early-morning jog before the heat builds.

Trip tricks

Travel tips for Sarıgerme transfers

What we tell every guest before they fly in. Save these on your phone before landing.

🚐
Book a private transfer
Sarıgerme is barely 12 km from Dalaman Airport, so a pre-booked private transfer is fast and door-to-door, far simpler than waiting for a shared shuttle after a flight.
👟
Pack beach shoes
The walk from car parks and some hotels to the sand can be long and sun-baked; comfortable shoes and a hat make the stroll to the shoreline far more pleasant.
💨
Mind the afternoon wind
A north-westerly breeze often strengthens by midday on the exposed beach. Mornings are calmest for swimming with small children; afternoons reward the windsurfers.
💳
Carry some cash
Resorts take cards, but the small village shops, beach buffets and the rickshaw or dolmuş rides into Osmaniye are easiest with Turkish lira in hand.
