Even the most seasoned traveller will be amazed by the views from D Maris Bay. Set high on a pine-strewn hill overlooking five beaches of pure white sand, a pretty archipelago of islands and mountain slopes, it's a perfect example of the Datça Peninsula's raw, wild beauty. But a stay here offers far more than impressive panoramas: this sleek, minimalist hotel is renowned for its warm service, restorative atmosphere and unmatched ability to bring world-class collaborations and partnerships to life.

The hotel has almost 200 rooms and suites, each a tranquil, modernist haven of marble and granite. Enormous floor-to-ceiling windows mean that those incredible views are never far from sight, and clever little touches – such as the ability to connect rooms, home theatre systems, Nespresso coffee machines and thoughtful artworks – make them feel like a real home from home. For the ultimate peace and privacy, though, it's impossible to beat the Villa. Tucked away in a quiet corner, it’s surrounded by sprawling gardens and has a private swimming pool, fully equipped Gaggenau kitchen and even a private hammam and sauna. The only interruptions you'll face are when the butler arrives with another crisp bottle of white wine for the cooler.
This is a place designed for calm, and tailored wellness journeys have been created to truly immerse guests in a sense of relaxation. Morning yoga on the open-air deck, facing the water, is the perfect first step, followed by a trip to the Mytha Spa where traditional Turkish treatments such as an invigorating hammam and olive oil massages will leave you looking as though you were lit from within. As well as hiking and cycling through the mountains, and a whole host of water sports, D Maris Bay offers private, personalised tennis lessons through an ongoing partnership with LUX Tennis. This is only the beginning of the inspired collaborations guests can expect this season. The dining scene is already a triumph, with six restaurants offering cuisine as varied as Manos's Greek seafood, Zuma's contemporary Japanese fare and La Guérite's French dishes but it's about to become even more exciting. The hotel is set to host renowned chef Maksut Aşkar, whose Istanbul restaurant has been awarded both a Michelin star and a Michelin green star and who will be serving up Aegean-inspired dinners in DIVIA by Maksut Aşkar. There will also be special offerings tailored specifically for yacht guests, including a collaboration with a top French fashion house which promises to bring riviera-style flair to the resort's chic collection of boutiques.

More than anything else, D Maris Bay is a chance to step out of the everyday hustle and bustle and rediscover your own rhythm. The staff's generous Mediterranean hospitality means that no request is too big or too small. There are plenty of exciting activities to keep the whole family occupied, and a kids' club to keep children happy and busy while you head off to the spa or enjoy a quiet few hours on one of five astounding beaches. Whether you're eager to explore the secret coves that fringe the coastline or simply want to spend your holiday sipping carefully crafted cocktails by the pool, D Maris Bay allows you to take life at your own pace.
