Known for being the gateway to the Turkish Riviera, Antalya sits on Turkey's western Mediterranean coastline. The historic city is an open-air museum made up of narrow lanes dotted with Ottoman-era architecture, wrapping around a Roman harbour boasting clifftop views of the distant mountains. Further along the coast, the small town of Tekirova is where nature meets history. With hotels built among a pine forest that cascades down to the sparkling Mediterranean, the fact that the natural environment has been preserved is just one reason to visit. The most important reason, however, is the Rixos Premium Tekirova, a five-star resort with excellent facilities and endless entertainment.
There's never a dull moment in this all singing, all dancing resort on Turkey's glittering coastline. Some resorts are all about tranquillity and relaxation, whilst others pride themselves on non-stop entertainment. The Rixos Premium Tekirova is the best of both worlds. Spend each day trying your hand at a new activity - whether its zumba, yoga, mountain biking, archery lessons or a trip to the theme park.
You're spoilt for choice when it comes to swimming too, with the star of the show being a tropical lagoon-style pool, dotted with pretty palm-tree-covered islands and sprawling to an uninterrupted view of the sparkling ocean. Not to mention the 10 waterslides, tipping buckets and water cannons at the Aqua Park.
When you've worn yourself out from the activities, head to the spa for a sumptuous chocolate massage, seaweed scrub or soak in the Turkish bath, then retire to your Deluxe Room and gaze out at the sea view. Designed with comfort and bliss in mind, each one is laden with five-star touches, from the welcome fruit basket to the marble bathroom with fluffy bathrobes and slippers.
Go on a culinary journey to each corner of the world, as you sample a different restaurant each evening. With a jaw-dropping array of options, you can be in Turkey one night, Thailand the next and finish in South America. Enjoy a complimentary a la carte dish with your loved one at the A La Turca or Mandarin Restaurant, serving a delicious range of Far East Asia specialties.
When the sun goes down, there is no need to leave the hotel. Whether you're in the mood for watching the waves crash against the beach with a glass of champagne, sipping a cocktail whilst dancing to a live DJ set or watching a spectacular theatrical performance, the entertainment options are endless at the Rixos Premium Tekirova.
