Is there a way to turn off WLAN, just like you'd turn off bluetooth?

does not connect is not the same as "off". The radio is still on but just not using the connection. it's still listening (sucking power).

It's not listening if you don't have it set to automatically search for available Access Points.
So is there option to turn WLAN off?
