Stylish Turkey Set to Sizzle in 2012

With a third of the UK population having visited Turkey and a third of those who haven’t visited wanting to go*, specialist tour operator Exclusive Escapes is meeting the demand for stylish holidays in the country with several new temptations for 2012. Its Lycian Coast programme – which runs from the end of April-October - features boutique hotels and chic villas in unspoilt regions, offering authentic local experiences.

Richmond, United Kingdom, March 17, 2012 --(PR.com)-- New for 2012 are:

Contemporary pad in traditional village - Rana Evi is a new-build, contemporary escape tucked away in the mountain village of Islamlar - the ultra modern design contrasts with the traditional village. The strikingly modern features include a dome-shaped roof, floor-to-ceiling glass doors with Venetian-style shutters, slate tiles and chrome finishes across open plan living areas. There is a lap pool and the surrounding courtyard terrace area is enclosed by a walled garden with seating for al fresco dining. There are extensive views and the sight line is interrupted by nothing other than mountainside. Seven nights from £900pp including return flights to Dalaman, transfers, seven days’ jeep hire, a welcome hamper and daily maid cleaning.

(Jacuzzi) Bath With A View – The rustic eco lodge Yediburunlar Lighthouse located at 1,800 feet has been transformed following a complete refurbishment last season. It now offers eight contemporary suites with jaw-dropping views, the highlight of which is the brand new Eagle's View suites. These detached lodges are hidden in the grounds and have outdoor Jacuzzi Baths and terraces with the most stunning views down to the Med. Ideal for mountain trekking, nature lovers and delicious vegetarian cuisine. Seven nights’ half board in an Eagle’s View suite from £975pp sharing, including return flights to Dalaman, transfers, a day’s luxury gulet cruise and guided trekking.

Designer Pool House - The brand new Pool House at Deniz Feneri Lighthouse is a spacious and luxurious two-bedroom pool suite that is ideal for romantics and honeymooners. The ground floor houses the master bedroom with ensuite Jacuzzi bath and French windows opening onto the pool and terrace. This opens onto a small sitting area which in turn leads to the second bedroom. Steps lead up to the first floor which has a large main sitting room with stunning sea views, and French windows that open onto an extensive terrace. Seven nights’ B&B in the Pool House suite from £1,350pp sharing, including return flights to Dalaman, transfers, a day’s luxury gulet cruise and a Turkish Bath.

Get a great looking body – Method Putkisto (yoga/pilates) breaks at the Dionysos Estate now incorporate body and facial rejuvenating techniques in a new, all-in-one course. Marja Putkisto will show participants how to strengthen and refine their core body muscles and balance facial muscles, including anti-ageing techniques to help drop a dress size and smooth out frown lines and wrinkles. Departing 5 and 12 May and 6 October seven nights’ half board from £1,450pp - with no single supplement – including return flights to Dalaman, transfers and all instruction.

Exclusive Escapes also has a brand new website for 2012 incorporating over 10,000 new colour images and short films of 99% of their coastal properties. The site enables guests to search and book any regional flights into Dalaman online. Guests can now book all Dalaman flights from 95% of regional airports (from Aberdeen to Exeter). Or fly with the tour operator’s Saturday Manchester and Gatwick Monarch service.
