With its own private beach and outdoor pools, the Bilgah enables visitors to combine a city and resort break. Accommodation is in the form of 176 rooms and suites with sea or garden views, and 14 self-contained villas. Higher grades include 24-hour butler service. Nine restaurants and bars, an onsite water park, large spa with indoor lap pool, meditation room, Turkish Bath, gym, tennis clinic, bowling alley, meeting rooms, disco and grand ballroom make it feel more like a small village than a capital hotel. Pet and child friendly (babysitting services are bookable), it’s also a hit with couples wanting a romantic getaway.
