The Beachfront Hotel

You couldn’t ask for a better spot for a relaxing, adults-only (16+) escape on the Turkish Riviera. The Beachfront Hotel is right on the seafront in Marmaris, with its own private stretch of sand complete with free sunbeds, umbrellas and loungers.

Days here are all about unwinding. You can dip between the beach and the outdoor pool, or stroll along the promenade into the centre of town to discover the 16th-century Ottoman castle, the bustling bazaar and plenty of places to eat and drink. Back at the hotel, the spa (extra charge) is on hand for a little indulgence, while the gym is free to use if you want to keep your fitness routine going.

When it comes to food and drink, you’ve got plenty of choice. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with both indoor and outdoor seating, with its bar area serving up views along with a menu of Mediterranean and international flavours. The pool bar, lounge and main bar are good for cocktails and chilled drinks throughout the day, and when the sun goes down, you can enjoy live music and DJ sets that bring a sociable, laid-back energy to your evenings.

As for the rooms, they’re bright, modern and designed with comfort in mind. Each one comes with a balcony and seating area, plus thoughtful extras like a minibar with daily water refills, tea and coffee-making facilities, satellite TV, a laptop-size safe, hairdryer, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Bathrooms feature sleek walk-in showers.
