Lujo, Bodrum
The five-star Lujo is a celebration of art and style set on a wooded hillside just outside the town of Guvercinlik in Turkey. Surrounded by spacious, beautiful pool areas and soft, white, sandy beaches (you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd arrived in the Caribbean), this is a wonderful spot to relax and unwind but also offers a wealth of activities. These range from an action-packed watersports centre to the most amazing kids' centre. There is also an emphasis on exceptional service throughout the hotel and on arrival you are allocated your own JOY Advisor - on hand at the touch of a button (or WhatsApp message!) to answer questions and arrange anything you need, 24 hours a day.
In the kids' centre, you'll find a huge range of facilities to keep children of all ages entertained, whether they're into sport, arts and crafts, science, Lego or just want to play. There are play areas for little ones, a full-on science lab and a music room with drum kits and other musical instruments. There's also a gaming room, an art room, a ceramics room and even a woodwork area! Whatever the age of your children, there is so much to do and plenty of places to meet new friends and hang out. And it's not all indoor - there are outdoor play areas too and the kids' team organise activities such as beach volleyball and football.
While the children are busy, you can enjoy a treatment or two in the spa, find a quiet spot on a beach (some of the beaches are designated quiet areas) or perhaps play a spot of tennis. This is a hotel where everyone can do as much or as little as they want.
If you're looking for good food, this is a fantastic all-inclusive option, with only a la carte restaurants and a wonderful choice of different cuisines (as well as a patisserie and a chocolate bar!).
And your base for your holiday? Choose from rooms, suites and villas sleeping from 3 to 10 people. They've used local stone and wood to create relaxing spaces. Many have their own terrace Jacuzzi or are 'swim-up', with direct access to a shared pool - and the villas have private pools.
