The contemporary Hilton Bodrum Turkbuku Resort and Spa is understated yet sophisticated in its style, bedecked in shimmering white walls, tall ceilings and twinkling lights, accented with colourful paintings, vases and leafy plants. Outside, there’s a plethora of outdoor pools to choose from, including one ideal for doing laps and another kids’ pool featuring water slides; though the sea provides a natural swimming spot with wooden decking and ladders into the water, as well as sun loungers on a little stretch of beach. If you’d like a change of scene, the Hilton spa is a serene place to spend a few hours, drifting from the large indoor pool to hot tub, looking out through the windows at the sparkling Aegean Sea. For children, there are special activities, a playground and kids’ club, though the whole family can enjoy what the Hilton has to offer: snorkelling, tennis, pool, basketball and paddle tennis, as well as sailing, wake boarding, jet skiing and wind surfing for those keen to get out on the water. If that all sounds like too much action, get comfortable in one of the Hilton’s many bars or restaurants and watch the sun set over the hypnotising Mediterranean waters.
