Le Méridien Bodrum Beach Resort, Bodrum, Aegean Coast, Turkey

Le Méridien Bodrum Beach Resort (formerly LUX* Bodrum Resort & Residences) on the north coast of the Bodrum Peninsula on Turkey's Aegean Coast combines boutique chic with family fun, including a kids' club, a children's library, and indoor and outdoor play areas. For adults, the spa with its wellness and detox program is the place to be, but there is also a private beach with a watersports centre, plus tennis courts.

Surrounded by landscaped gardens and hidden behind swathes of pine trees, this exclusive new property ensures superstar-style privacy. Yet it's only 12km from the airport – perfect for those travelling with kids. It's also great for larger families or for those holidaying with friends or grandparents, as some of the ultra-luxurious rooms and residences sleep up to 8.
