Richmond Ephesus Hotel, Kuşadası

A beachfront hotel with an exclusive edge, the Ephesus Resort makes for a stylish All Inclusive break.

Set at the foot of a tree-stacked hillside and looking out over the beach, this place is in a really peaceful spot. Fantastic views stretch out in every direction and because the whole place is surrounded by landscaped gardens, you get plenty of privacy, too.

The hotel itself is a whitewashed contemporary number. Think clean lines, big windows and balconies. Step inside the lobby, and high-backed leather chairs and glass tables give things a really sleek look. As for the bedrooms, they’re dressed in warm reds and light browns.

When it comes to swimming and sunbathing, you’ve got the choice of two pools – a lagoon-like outdoor number and a heated indoor one. If you’re feeling energetic, meanwhile, there’s a great range of watersports on offer at the beach. Those after a bit of pampering, meanwhile, can relax in the spa – it comes with a Turkish bath and a sauna.

As for dining, the main eatery is a buffet affair serving up cuisine from all around the world. There are three à la carte options, too, covering off Italian cuisine, Turkish favourites and seafood.
