Between the Gulf of Fethiye and Kaş, the Lycian coast combines wooded mountains, ancient tombs carved into the cliffs and villages clinging to the slopes. It's villa-rental country, and a good number of villas offer a heated pool to stretch the season in spring and autumn. The selection brings these villas together, from Kalkan to Hisarönü, along with the hotels of Fethiye, Marmaris and Dalaman that have an indoor pool. I've selected 46 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Autumn Escape w/ Indoor Heated Pool & Spa (4.94/5).
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.
