D Maris Bay

This lavishly restored hotel, offering exceptional watersports facilities and a gorgeously appointed spa, occupies a pine-clad bluff above a protected bay on the idyllic Datca Peninsula.

The modern and airy design – stone, bare timber and floor-to-ceiling windows – extends to the rooms, some of which have private tubs on the balconies.

This is the place to come if you’re looking for a fly and flop – there’s a beach for every mood (some with shoreside cabanas), a world-class spa offering couples and parent and child treatments, and a huge range of watersports, from windsurfing to catamaran sailing.

Throw in half a dozen elegant restaurants and bars, and you have an outstanding contemporary resort. It’s remote and isolated, but that’s why you come here.
