Yalihan Una

If your idea of a perfect holiday involves rolling out of bed and straight onto the sand, this hotel should be high on your list. Right on Turkey’s stunning southern coast, this relaxed, beachside hotel puts you just a short stroll from local shops and restaurants, and around a half-hour taxi ride from lively Alanya.

Life here’s all about easy, sunny days. There’s a good-sized outdoor pool for a refreshing dip, a kids’ pool for the little ones, and a jacuzzi with front-row sea views. If you fancy working up a sweat before hitting the beach bar, the fitness centre’s got you covered. But the real standout? Spahan, a spa overlooking the water, with Turkish Baths and soothing massages that’ll have you floating out the door. When you’re ready for a change of scenery, there are shops and restaurants a 10-minute wander away. Fancy a proper day out? Hop in a taxi and head to Alanya for markets, ancient castles, and seafront bars.
