Casa Lumar | Luxury Lodging, Hisaronu
The beauty you discover at the beginning of summer helps you forget a whole year’s worth of fatigue.
I’m talking about Casa Lumar Luxury Lodging, located in Hisarönü—a place along my Fethiye–Ölüdeniz route that made me say, “I’m so glad I came.”
🌿 If your morning silence smells like pine trees… you’re in the right place.
Birdsong, a slow-flowing sense of peace, and a warm welcome at the foot of Babadağ, reaching up into the sky. Sometimes, what you encounter isn’t just a hotel—it’s a feeling. Casa Lumar is exactly that kind of place. Right in the heart of Fethiye’s Hisarönü, yet away from the crowds. Quiet, refined, elegant…
🌺 There’s something magical about coming here at the very beginning of summer…
No one’s arrived yet, nature is still waking up, the streets are all yours. Prices are still reasonable, the sun is gentle but warm. Perfect for an escape during or after the Eid holiday! This isn’t peak season—it’s the start. The best time. 🐚
The hotel is tucked into a quiet street with a central location: just 4 km to Kayaköy, 10 km to Fethiye, and 5 km to Ölüdeniz. So if you’re staying in Hisarönü, you’re close to everything.
🏡 This is an adults-only hotel…
Casa Lumar is ideal for those who say, “We love kids, but we could use some peace and quiet.” Only guests aged 16 and up are accepted. Every room carries a sense of luxury and elegance.
🍹 And the cocktails I had by the pool—those icy delights crafted by the bartender—still show up in my dreams. Truly.
👩💼 The owner, Tuba Sarıkaya, has turned this hotel into more than just a business—it feels like home.
If someone you don’t know greets you with a warm smile, that’s how you know your holiday will be a good one. You’ll meet her when you go—be sure to say hello from me! 🫶🏻
🗺️ With the spirit of “Where should we go today?”
🚠 I took the cable car up to Babadağ. The view? It makes you say, “This can’t be real.”
I considered paragliding down… but then thought, “A good coffee is all I need,” and came back to earth. 😅
🥾 Hiking the Lycian Way is a whole other experience. Every step echoes with history, every turn opens up to breathtaking views.
🦋 Butterfly Valley, Blue Cave, Kabak Bay, Faralya… it’s like stepping onto another planet.
🗿 Ancient cities like Tlos, Letoon, and Kayaköy make you feel like time is an illusion. As you walk, you think, “Time doesn’t pass—only our clothes change.”
🍽️ I have some gourmet tips for the foodies:
🐟 Fethiye Fish Market: Choose your seafood from the stalls, hand it over to a restaurant to cook, and pair it with local olive-oil mezes… The only sound you’ll make is “mmm.”
🥄 The tahini I bought from Servet Kuruyemiş… I finished it before I even got home. I wasn’t using a spoon, I was basically digging in. 🙈
🌿 At the Friday Market: gözlemes made with morel mushrooms, regional herbs… it’s like eating summer in every bite.
🌃 Nights here offer as many choices as the stars above:
🎷 Hisarönü or Paspatur Bar Street… We chose a jazz bar in Paspatur. Cocktail in hand, dancing under the moonlight, a light stroll afterward… I truly fell in love with this summer.
🚘 The sea is just 4 km away!
Ölüdeniz Belcekız Beach is the most popular, Kıdrak Bay is quieter, and Gemiler Bay is for those who love rocky shores.
Reaching Butterfly Valley by boat feels like stepping into a summer movie scene.
