TL;DR
A total smoking ban across a Turkish resort cannot be assumed: travelers report that some beaches have no designated smoking areas and guests smoke beside sunbeds. If this matters to you, confirm that the hotel has a smoke-free beach section before booking.
In practice, guests may smoke directly beside their sunbeds, which can be uncomfortable for non-smokers. A separate smoke-free section would help, but you should verify its availability with the hotel in advance.
Travelers have noted that some hotel beaches may have no clearly marked smoking areas at all. Do not assume there will be no smokers simply because the hotel has general rules.
The presence of bins does not guarantee clean beaches or compliance with smoking rules; cigarette litter also depends on guest behavior. Check recent reviews specifically for beach cleanliness and smoking near sunbeds.
