Six Senses has a habit of building resorts in stunning locations, and this recent addition to their portfolio is no exception, draped over gently rolling hills on the sunny Aegean coast. The tranquil setting dovetails perfectly with a characteristic focus on health and wellbeing, and the spa is a destination in itself. There are also plenty of facilities for families, and you’re within easy reach of some of Anatolia’s most spectacular ancient sites.

On a quiet stretch of the Turquoise Coast.

There are 141 guest rooms including six suites (75 in the main building and 66 Ridge Villas) all boasting stunning views to the Aegean Sea. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of light to illuminate the minimal chic interiors, and all rooms have air conditioning, a private balcony, marble bathroom with separate shower and soaking tub, flat-screen satellite TV, Bluetooth speaker, WiFi, in-room safe, tea/coffee making facilities, and an iPad to control the temperature and lighting. Some suites and villas have a private pool, and the Family Villas offer extra space, with both a king bed and double sofa bed.

The wellness-centred ethos extends to the restaurant menus, with a focus on nutritional balance and fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Sage & Sea serves buffet-style breakfast and dinner drawing on the flavours of the Mediterranean, while Wild Thyme is a casual option specialising in light lunches and flavoursome dinners, including traditional charcoal grill kebab and steak. Meze by the Sea is a romantic al fresco affair offering fabulous fish and Turkish meze, and the Alchemy Bar features a large Chef’s Table for 14 guests, and cookery classes using only raw products. There is also a beach bar and a library lounge that turns into a cocktail bar after dark.
