Cook's Club Adakoy Marmaris

• Buffet restaurant
• Poolside bar

Sitting pretty on the Turkish Riviera, with a nature reserve on one side and the crystal-clear sea on the other, Cook's Club Adakoy deals in idyllic escapes. Set on its own private beach with sun-kissed sands, and a thicket of pine trees a backdrop, this is the perfect place to unplug. And the buzzing centre of Marmaris is just a 15-minute water-taxi ride across the bay, so you won't be too far from civilisation, either. 

Days here are of the chilled-out variety. Camp out on a luxe sun lounger, take a dip in the spacious pool, or see if the daily activities line-up can tempt you. From sunrise yoga and early morning forest hikes to beach volleyball tournaments and cosy movie nights under the stars, there's something to suit almost every vibe here. 

The area is popular for water sports, too, and the likes of canoeing, paddle boarding, and sailing excursions can all be booked through reception. And thanks to the seafront yoga deck and swish spa, there's plenty of lower key activities on offer as well. 

Tastes from across the globe are available at the hotel's restaurant and bar, Cantina. Here you'll find a handful of live cooking stations serving up made-to-order eats – with a brand-new menu every day. There's an all-day à la carte menu, too, so you needn't worry about a mid-afternoon case of the munchies. And with the resident DJ spinning tracks all day and into the wee hours, the terrace is the place to be.
