Stretching from the sparkling Aegean coastline to the fascinating landscapes of Cappadocia and the vibrant streets of Istanbul, Turkey is a destination where ancient history, spectacular scenery and contemporary luxury come together in one eclectic fusion. Its unique position between Europe and Asia has created a country of remarkable contrasts, with centuries-old ruins, atmospheric bazaars, beautiful beaches and ultra modern holiday resorts all waiting to be explored.
When you book a tailor made holiday in Turkey with Elegant Resorts, you can create a bespoke itinerary which is filled only with the experiences and excursions that you value the most. Our Luxury Travel Specialists will take the time to get to know you so they can offer you the benefit of their first hand experience, creating a tailor made journey which is as every bit as unique as you are.
A tailor made Turkey holiday can begin in Istanbul, where East meets West in an exhilarating blend of cultures. Discover magnificent landmarks including the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, wander through the atmospheric Grand Bazaar or take a private cruise along the Bosphorus between two continents. Foodies can explore the city's celebrated culinary scene, perhaps combining traditional Turkish dishes and meze with contemporary fine dining. Your Luxury Travel Specialist can arrange private tours and experiences that allow you to discover the capital at a pace that suits you, whether you are visiting Turkey for the first time or returning to uncover another side of this captivating city.
For those fascinated by ancient history, Turkey offers an extraordinary collection of archaeological treasures. You could explore the remarkable ruins of Ephesus, one of the most impressive ancient cities in the Mediterranean, or discover the remains of other historic settlements scattered throughout the country. A private guided excursion can bring these extraordinary sites back to life, providing fascinating insight into the civilisations that have shaped what Turkey is today. Combining these cultural experiences with time beside the coast is one of the many advantages of being able to create bespoke holidays in Turkey with our Luxury Travel Specialists.
The Aegean coast provides a wonderfully relaxed experience, particularly around Bodrum and the surrounding resorts. Here, dazzling blue waters meet sandy beaches, stylish marinas and elegant waterfront restaurants, creating an atmosphere that is perfectly suited to a luxurious summer holiday. Here you can spend your days swimming in secluded bays, charter a private yacht to explore the coastline, browse the boutiques of Bodrum or settle down to a long lunch accompanied by freshly prepared seafood and traditional Turkish meze. When evening arrives, vibrant restaurants and sophisticated bars provide the perfect setting for watching the sun set over the Aegean.
Our portfolio includes an exceptional collection of accommodation, making it easy to create luxury Turkey holidays that reflect your personal tastes. Mandarin Oriental Bodrum offers an elegant coastal retreat surrounded by natural beauty, with luxurious accommodation, beautiful beaches and outstanding facilities. Six Senses Kaplankaya combines contemporary luxury with a spectacular Aegean setting and an impressive focus on wellness, while Caresse, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Bodrum provides a stylish beachfront base with a sophisticated atmosphere. Casa Nonna Bodrum offers another appealing option for those seeking a more intimate and relaxed luxury experience. Whether your priority is beach relaxation, exceptional dining experience, rejuvenating spa treatments or family-friendly facilities, our Luxury Travel Specialists can help select the accommodation that best suits your needs.
Turkey is also an excellent destination for families, with plenty of opportunities to combine relaxation with exciting experiences. Children can enjoy watersports, boat trips and beach days, while families can explore ancient ruins, discover local markets or visit fun filled waterparks. There are countless luxurious resorts in the Elegant Resorts portfolio which provide an ideal environment for downtime between adventures, with swimming pools, restaurants and leisure facilities designed to make family holidays as active or relaxing as needed.
For couples, Turkey offers a wealth of romantic possibilities. Sail into a secluded bay aboard a private yacht, enjoy a sunset dinner overlooking the Aegean or spend a leisurely day relaxing beside the sea. Those seeking wellness can incorporate spa treatments, yoga and restorative wellness experiences into their itinerary, while more adventurous travellers might prefer hiking, diving or exploring the country's spectacular natural landscapes.
Even all inclusive Turkey holidays can be tailored to provide far more than time spent at your resort. Your itinerary could combine several destinations, allowing you to experience the culture of Istanbul before travelling to the Aegean coast, or pair historical sightseeing with days of complete beachside relaxation. Elegant Resorts can arrange your flights, transfers, accommodation, private excursions, activities, restaurant reservations and special experiences, ensuring every part of your journey comes together seamlessly.
The result is a luxury holiday to Turkey designed around you rather than a standard package chosen from a set itinerary. Whether you are seeking history and culture, indulgent relaxation, family adventures, fine dining, wellness or a combination of everything, our Luxury Travel Specialists can use their expertise to create a journey that feels entirely personal.
