Live like Ottoman royalty at Bodrum's Ada Hotel, where your luxury Turkish vacation is set in a palace. Binge like a king or queen on yacht tours, fine dining, and pool- and beachside relaxation.
EXPERIENCE
You couldn't be blamed for cultivating some serious delusions of grandeur after a few days in the embrace of the Ada Hotel. After all, you're living in a palace, surrounded by rock walls, gorgeous wall hangings and rugs, and antique furniture. Staff appears regularly to do your bidding. You're indulged with romantic seafood dinners, poolside cocktails, and leisurely walks in the garden, where the even the olive trees and the bougainvillea seem eager to please.
But even the most pampered kings and queens must sometimes set out to conquer. Let the Ada staff take you on a luxurious tour of the Aegean and Antalyan coasts or the Bosphorus strait aboard one of their elegantly appointed yachts. Upon your triumphant return, unwind with a trip to the traditional marble hammam. Toast your continued reign on the deck or in front of the fireplace with a glass of fine wine from the hotel's own cellar. Just don't expect friends to refer to you as "your highness" once you're home.
