Villas to Rent in Fethiye
Fethiye pairs a working harbour town with some of the most beautiful coastline in Türkiye, from the Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz to the island-studded bays of Göcek. Browse villas listed on Villora across the whole district, compare pools, views and locations, then contact the owner directly.
Why choose Fethiye for a villa holiday
Fethiye sits where the Lycian coast meets the Aegean side of Muğla, and few places in Türkiye pack so much variety into one district. The town itself is a relaxed, real place with a busy harbour, Lycian rock tombs carved into the cliffs above the streets and a bustling fish market where you choose your catch and have it cooked at a neighbouring restaurant. Within half an hour you can be on a sandy beach, in a pine-scented mountain village or aboard a gulet heading for the 12 Islands.
It is a long-standing favourite with British and Turkish families alike, which means good infrastructure, easy-going service and a wide choice of villas at every scale, from cosy two-bedroom houses to large family villas with big pools and gardens.
The main villa areas
- Ölüdeniz – the famous lagoon, Belcekız beach and paragliding from Babadağ
- Hisarönü and Ovacık – lively hillside villages with restaurants, bars and plenty of family villas
- Kayaköy – a peaceful valley beside the abandoned Greek village of Levissi
- Faralya and Kabak – dramatic clifftop scenery above Butterfly Valley, for those who want nature and quiet
- Çalış – a long, flat beach with famous sunsets, walkable and great for children
- Göcek – the yachting capital, with marinas, chic restaurants and secluded bays
- Yanıklar – quiet nature spots near Katrancı bay, between Fethiye and Göcek
- Üzümlü – an inland village with cooler air and very private villas
Things to do
Highlights include the Amyntas rock tombs, the Tuesday market, a full-day 12 Islands boat trip, the Saklıkent gorge (around 45 km away), the hilltop ruins of Tlos and walks along the Lycian Way. Ölüdeniz is the place for paragliding, while Göcek is the base for gulet cruises and private boat days.
Best time to visit
The main season runs from May to October. July and August are hot, typically 30–35 °C on the coast, with the sea around 26–27 °C. May, June, September and October are ideal for walking, sightseeing and quieter beaches; villas with heated pools make spring and late autumn stays more comfortable.
Choosing the right villa
Families often prefer Hisarönü, Ovacık or Çalış, where shops and restaurants are close by. Couples and honeymooners tend to look at sea-view villas around Ölüdeniz, Kayaköy or Göcek. If privacy matters, filter for secluded or conservative villas with pools hidden from view, which are common in Kayaköy, Üzümlü and the hills above Ölüdeniz. Every listing shows its VillaNo and its tourism permit number (Turizm Belge No), so you can check details before you contact the owner.
Getting there
Dalaman Airport (DLM) is about 50 km from Fethiye town, roughly a 45-minute drive. Many owners can recommend a private transfer, and a hire car is worth having if your villa is up in the hills.
