This hotel screams luxury from its infinity pool overlooking the Aegean Sea to its ornate spa with body wraps on the menu and a la carte restaurants promising a swanky fine dining experience. Set on its own private peninsula in Turkey’s sought-after Bodrum area, it makes for the perfect hideaway when you want to escape the hotspot’s crowds.

Facing a beach, this hotel offers the best of both worlds when it comes to sunbathing sessions. Its All Inclusive package is another highlight worth shouting about, not only does it provide a 24-hour service, but it also comes with two a la cartes. 

Modern in-room facilities

There’s a wide choice of fancy room options at this premium hotel. Whether you opt for standard spaces featuring all the essentials, three-bedroom stays sleeping up to seven people or deluxe options offering greater luxuries, relaxing is made easy here. While couples may prefer the hotel’s aptly named Romance Suites, which have been designed with lovers in mind, we’re talking pink interiors and round beds.

Regardless of which room you go for, expect to be welcomed by a king-size bed, bathrobes, a TV, air conditioning alongside tea and coffee making facilities. When it comes to decor, each option varies slightly, but on a whole all categories have an elegant design with high-quality furnishings. You can also take advantage of some private outdoor space with your very own balcony.

A set of a la cartes

The hotel’s All Inclusive programme has you covered around-the-clock with drinks and snacks available 24 hours. Alongside three restaurants, you’ll find a huge collection of bars with seven to choose from.

Silk Road Restaurant: This is the hotel’s main eatery with buffet style meals being served throughout the day. Covering breakfast, lunch and dinner, head here for a mix of cuisines with hot and cold stations catering to all tastes. If you’re travelling with little ones, make sure you look out for the kid’s section which features mini chairs and tables. 

Azzurro A la Carte Restaurant: Celebrating the best of Italian fare, this a la carte venue has a charming atmosphere with its beautifully dressed tables and decorative plant pots. The risotto comes highly recommended if you’re looking for something to make your mouth water. 

Aegean A la Carte Restaurant: This a la carte option has been decorated beautifully with grand lighting and cosy booths guaranteeing a pleasant dining experience. As for the food, you can expect flavours associated with the Aegean and seafood dishes taking centre stage.  

Archipelago Bar: Located by the pool, this is the perfect place to grab a refreshing drink during the day. The plastic flutes are a nice touch if you want to sample some bubbly while you sunbathe. You’ll also find a list of snacks perfect for indulging in between mealtimes. 

Rosebud Bar: This is the only venue which is open 24 hours.

Sports Bar: This is where you can catch all the latest sports action alongside a choice of beverages. 

Beach Bar: Right on the beach, order refreshing cocktails with a sea breeze cooling you down on those scorching days.

Disco Bar: If you want to show off your best moves, this adults only venue is the place to let loose with its dancefloor and late-closing time of 2am. 

*Please note – children will need to be aged seven or over to dine in the a la carte restaurants.

Fun for kids and adults alike

The fun is non-stop at this activity-filled hotel. Aqua aerobics, darts, bowling, table tennis and  a multi-sports court are just some of your options if you’re easily bored. Technology-loving teens, on the other hand, are bound to make themselves at home in the onsite games room, where a PlayStation® 4, air hockey and table football are yours for the taking.

Small guests have also been taken care of with the hotel-run kids’ club designed to keep little minds occupied, while the open-air playground and pirate waterslide are also on hand to offer plenty of outdoor enjoyment. In terms of kicking back, there’s a duo of pools where you can enjoy relaxing dips and long sunbathing stints. The Ottoman style spa is another highlight with its sensory experiences. Body wraps, aqua therapy and cleansing facials are all on the menu here.

An exclusive location

Nestled away from the hustle and bustle on its own peninsula, its remote setting is ideal for those seeking a quiet retreat in Turkey. Overlooking a shingle beach, sunbathing by the Aegean is also on the cards. The closest village is Akyarlar, where you’ll find a choice of traditional eateries alongside a small harbour.

For more upbeat offerings, Turgutreis isn’t much further where you’ll discover a greater selection of beaches. Plus, you’re just 30 minutes down the road from Adaland Waterpark, which is home to over 20 slides.
