Welcome back, fellow luxury aficionados and lovers of exclusivity everywhere! It’s the beginning of a new year, and there’s no time like the present to start searching for the best places to visit within the next twelve months. Our choice for today is the beatuiful D-Hotel Maris, found in Turkey’s Datça Peninsula and perched on a hillside where breathtaking views impress with countless shades of blue.

Somewhere between the Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea is the area where you’ll be experiencing such beauty. Here, five natural beaches surround the Bed & Breakfast style Turkish hotel, complemented by pine forests, small islands, and volcanic mountains. Chilling out at D-Hotel Maris will definitely make anyone smile, and it’s easy to see why just by looking at any of these photos.

Two hundred rooms and suites await guests to choose from different options, promising to deliver the same astonishing experience. Designed with the ultimate relaxation in mind, most rooms feature a bathtub right on the balcony, but we will not speculate as how and when to use it – or who with.

The D-Hotel Maris also houses a wonderful ESPA Spa, where you’ll probably want to stay all day long. You’re also more than welcomed to enjoy tennis here, sunbathing on the sand, water sports, fitness pursuits, or dining on delicious dishes at the hotel’s restaurant.

You can also try out water-skiing, wake-boarding, sailing, surfing, diving and guided kayak tours, or even Pilates, stretching, Zumba, Tai Chi and personal fitness lessons – if you’re the more active type so… get packing and book your ticket to Turkey!
