Luxury life on a private island
Make a glamorous getaway to the luxurious Xanadu Island in Akyarlar on Turkey's west coast and treat yourself to a touch of opulence during your well-deserved break. Sitting on its very own private peninsula, this prestigious hotel boasts panoramic views of the Aegean Sea.
A pair of outdoor pools mean plenty of opportunities for poolside lounging – and the sunbeds here are just as luxe as you'd expect, with built in shades if you need a break from the sunshine. There's a third pool tucked away indoors, plus a spot for the little ones to make a splash. The Foxy Kids' Club lines up plenty to keep them busy on dry land, too, like kids' yoga, pilates, and zumba, arts and crafts, face painting, and fun themed days.
Another highlight is the Shang-Du Spa & Wellness Centre which features free access to a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, and Jacuzzi. For those who like to keep active while on holiday, there's a well-equipped gym, while the weekly programme ticks off the likes of yoga, pilates, and aerobics. Sports-wise you can get stuck into tennis, badminton, basketball, and football, and if you're all about the friendly competition but don't fancy breaking a sweat, they've got billiards, darts, and table tennis, too.
Three restaurants – two à la carte and one buffet – will keep the hunger pangs at bay with their international and Turkish offerings. And as for how to spend your evenings, international shows take place at the Amphitheatre, so grab a seat before they're gone.
You may be on a private peninsula but that doesn't mean you're cut off. Xanadu Island is less than two kilometres from Akyarlar centre and seven kilometres from Turgutreis.
