Hotel Perdue. Faralya Turkey

Perdue: it means ‘lost’. Fortunately, we found this remarkable place, almost hidden in the hills beyond Olu Deniz.

Picture any movie where the hero and heroine, lost together in a remote jungle, stumble across a strange village, forgotten by time. Perdue’s rustic eco-chic evokes the spirit of those journeys into another way of living. More harmonious, more in keeping with the rhythms of nature.

But not every facet of a more natural lifestyle is to be cherished. So yes, you live under canvas cloaked in tumbling thatch, but you have a big, comfortable double bed, air-conditioning, a well-appointed shower room and a Jacuzzi on your private deck.

Getting lost

Indeed, your journey from Dalaman airport to Perdue sets the tone from the moment the road curves up from the Blue Lagoon at Olu Deniz to the little village of Faralya. It’s a stunning drive along the rugged coastline, with spectacular views, gently negotiated by our experienced and professional drivers.

High in the hills, one of Perdue’s Land Rovers is waiting for you. It’s the only way to travel down the steep path to the hotel. The Land Rovers are available on demand to take you back to the road at any time during your stay, where a local dolmus or taxi can meet you and take you into the village or beyond.

Transfer by sea

The only other way to reach Perdue is by sea. Weather permitting, our driver can drop you in Olu Deniz, from where the hotel’s Zodiac speedboat can whisk you along the coast, past the fabled Butterfly Valley. There is a supplement for the boat trip, but it’s a memorable excursion in its own right.

Eight safari-style rooms. 1 hour 30 minutes from Dalaman Airport by road, 1 hour 15 minutes by road and 15 minutes with boat transfer from Olu Deniz.
