We offer our guests a peaceful holiday experience in our family-run hotel, located right on the seafront in Ovabükü, one of the most special bays of Datça, under the shade of mastic trees.

As Melinda Pension & Restaurant, we have been hosting our guests with a friendly and comfortable holiday approach that respects nature since 2004.

Ovabükü, one of the quietest, most pristine bays on the Datça Peninsula, is a haven for those who yearn to explore but also long for relaxation. At Melinda Pension & Restaurant, we offer a family-friendly holiday in the heart of this paradise, right on the seafront.

Melinda Restaurant

Our menu, carefully prepared by combining vegetables grown in our organic garden with the freshest seafood and meat products, offers the most exquisite flavors of the local Mediterranean and Aegean cuisine.

Fresh Flavors and Real Tastes: Melinda Restaurant

One of the things that makes a holiday special is the flavors you experience on the table. At Melinda Pansiyon & Restaurant, we don't want to offer you just another meal; we want to provide you with a healthy, natural, and delicious experience. Our dishes are prepared with seasonal vegetables, fruits, and herbs from our garden, accompanied by olive oil harvested in winter, and served on plates that combine natural beauty and craftsmanship.

Every morning at breakfast, the aroma of tomatoes from our garden, the crunch of freshly picked peppers, and the taste of homemade jams ensure a delightful start to the day. Lunch and dinner feature both beloved Turkish classics and special recipes inspired by international cuisine. We cater to everyone's palate with carefully prepared options for our vegan and vegetarian guests.

Customer Reviews

"My second home... I haven't been able to get enough of it for eight years... A perfect establishment we dream of, constantly reminiscing about after a few months at home after our holidays. They considered us family, and we considered them... The beyond-perfect landscape, the palate-stirring flavors, and the magic of Datça Ovabükü... Personalized service. Oral and Sergül are beyond any other chefs. Quiet, calm, and peaceful..."
