Dames de la mer Marmaris Turkey

Possibly offering the most unique timeshare holidays in the world, Dames de la Mer are luxury yachts based in a beautiful marina at Netsei Marmaris on the outskirts of the resort town of the same name. The marina has space for 720 moorings, connections for electricity and water, a swimming pool, tennis court and small supermarket. Round the clock security is provided, and the marina boasts café-bars and no less than 10 restaurants.

The fully-crewed yachts sleep eight in comfort and are designed to exacting specifications in order to give holidaymakers the dream experience of a lifetime. The salon holds a kitchen area and generous seating, and the sleeping cabins have tiny ensuite facilities. A sound system is installed, and board games, cards and books are provided, as are anti-sea-sickness pills.

Turkey’s turquoise Mediterranean seas are perfect for yachting, and the country’s southern coastline is spectacularly scenic. Tiny coves, quaint coastal villages, deserted islands and glorious year-round weather make the region an all-time favourite with experienced sailors and novices alike. Itineraries can be planned in advance with the help of mariners experienced in local waters, and the yachts can be powered by a diesel engine as well as the warm Mediterranean winds.
