1. Best for local flavour

After an authentic Turkish break? The Rixos Premium Gocek has you covered. Tucked between pine forests and mountains with a private beach accessible by shuttle boat, this peaceful retreat’s got a real away-from-it-all vibe. There are two pools to lounge by, and if you fancy sunbathing somewhere different, you can hop on a free three-hour boat trip around the coast or take a shuttle boat to the Secret Beach where you can kick back like a VIP while waiters bring your favourite tipple straight to your lounger. Mealtimes here celebrate local flavours, with restaurants serving classics like traditional meze – that’s ‘snack’ to you and me – alongside a mix of international faves. And when relaxation calls, the spa's Turkish bath awaits.

2. Best for luxury

Bag a front‑row seat to some of Turkey’s best sunsets at the five-star Rixos Premium Bodrum. A pool meanders like a river down to a private beach, so your only dilemma is where to roll out your towel. If you’re travelling with tots in tow, they’ve got the Rixy Kids’ Club, a splash zone with slides for the little ones and a packed daily activity programme to keep them busy. When hunger hits, three gourmet spots cover everything from local delicacies to global dishes. Plus, the spa’s on hand to ramp up the relaxation with its treatment menu filled with different massages. Ah, bliss!

3. Best for activities

Adventure seekers, this one’s for you. The Rixos Premium Belek is where action-packed fun meets five-star luxury. Plus, you get free access to The Land of Legends Theme Park – home to adrenaline-filled rides, family entertainment and more. The buzz carries on back at the hotel – a big sea-view pool and a spot with slides for the children means splashing good times for the whole family. The activity roster lines up tennis, football and parasailing, while fitness classes range from Pilates to ju-jitsu. And once you’ve worked up an appetite, there are six restaurants – including five stylish à la carte eateries – to pick from. Ready to recharge?

Sunbathing sessions are sorted by a tiered pool steps away from the seafront. Plus, there’s a spa with a menu of relaxing treatments, a sauna, a Turkish bath and an indoor pool. Like to stay active? You’ve got your pick of tennis, beach volleyball and water sports on the activity line-up.
