With a 650km stretch of sandy beaches and secluded coves surrounded by pine forests and olive groves, Antalya is one of the most picturesque and popular holiday destinations in the country. It’s also home to famous ruins such as the magnificent Aspendos Theatre and close to the must-see ancient cities of Perge and Side. Book into the DoubleTree by Hilton Antalya Kemer and enjoy breathtaking mountain and sea views, take yourself off to the spa for a Turkish bath or unwind next to one of the freshwater pools. The place is perfect for foodies as the hotel has six restaurants and ten food trucks on the all-inclusive package. Explore the town of Kemer, part of the Turkish Riviera with 46km of coastline, and visit the yacht-filled marina and hike (or take the cable car) around the Olympos Beydaglari National Park.
Bedazzling Bodrum

Bodrum is as rich in Roman ruins as it is in sparkling blue bays and marinas. The small resort of Didim is perfect for relaxing next to the Aegean Sea during the day and hitting the cool bars in the evenings. Spoil yourself with a stay at the brand-new Anda Barut Collection on the Delice Peninsula and splash away in the swim-up pools, villas with private pools, five outdoor pools and aqua park. Relax at the spa and then indulge in a choice of ten à la carte restaurants and five bars.

Another accommodation option is the romantic Xanadu Island resort, perched on its own private peninsula and situated near Turgutreis, the second biggest town in Bodrum, known for its luxury shopping, quiet coves and golden-sand beaches. The rooms are all suite-style with ample space suitable for couples and families alike. The wonderful Shang-du Spa is a tranquil haven of relaxation after a day at one of the three stunning outdoor pools, including a must-experience infinity pool. If you can tear yourself away from the hotel, head into town to watch a sensational sunset while enjoying a traditional dinner.
Delighful Dalaman

The area around Dalaman has become known as the Turquoise Coast due to its pristine Mediterranean waters and beaches. The whitewashed seaside resort of Kas, with its quaint traditional shops and cafés is the picture-perfect holiday destination. The Radisson Blu Hotel Kas offers a respite from the buzz, where you can unwind in elegant rooms, by the freshwater pool or at the spa. If you really want seclusion, book a suite – they all come with private pools.

Head to the tiny village of Sarigerme to explore the surrounding rolling hills, valleys and gorges while staying at the exclusive The Remote Hotel. The boutique accommodation is ideal for couples looking for something stylish. Book yourself in for a traditional hammam at the on-site spa before heading to the excellent à la carte restaurant to sample delicious Turkish and world cuisine. If you’d like to explore the coastline here, do it in a traditional Turkish wooden yacht known as a gulet.
