These serene spots promise all-inclusive relaxation without the kid commotion.

Cook's Club Adakoy

Cook's Club Adakoy

This isn’t an all-bells-and-whistles mega resort. But that's exactly why we love it. What sets it apart is its boho-chic charm, making it perfect for couples and solo travellers who want to relax in idyllic surroundings. You can enjoy a mix of relaxation and social activities, with a great events programme that includes national park treks, mixology classes and paddleboarding trips. The whole place channels a chilled Ibiza tone – think palm-thatched parasols, rattan lampshades and sunset yin yoga sessions.

They take food seriously here. There's just one restaurant, but wow, do they do it well. You’ll find six live cooking stations dishing out everything from Vietnamese street food to Turkish mezze. And don’t miss the beach cinema nights, where you can watch all-time favourite films with the stars twinkling overhead.

Our favourite inclusions: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, late-night snacks, plus branded soft drinks, local wines and a selection of international spirits.

"My favourite dining experience was at Cook's Club Adakoy where we had the most incredible Turkish feast. They served fresh local bread with every dip you can imagine, delicious local meats and a heavenly baklava dessert. The tastes and colours were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, despite being a regular at my local Turkish restaurant back home.” - Josie Doe, Assistant Manager, Kuoni Bluewater
