The Best Hotels Near XO Cape Arnna, by the Record
-
A resort on a sapphire bay outside Fethiye with thirty-seven pools, eleven restaurants, and a kids' club designed by Turkey's only child-focused architecture firm, complete with a robotics lab and a disco running until eleven. Adults have a child-free enclave. The breakfast buffet alone runs to fifteen kinds of olive. The Lycian Way hiking trail passes through the hills just above.
-
A sheltered bay on the Turkish Riviera, no televisions, and views of the Göcek Islands doing all the work that televisions would have done anyway. Ahãma is a design resort built around wabi-sabi principles, earthy textures, and a schedule that runs on sunrise yoga and sound therapy rather than checkout reminders. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key. Pine shade, two restaurants, and the kind of stillness that feels deliberate rather than forgotten.
-
A boutique hotel carved into a steep cliffside above Fethiye's marina, where the terraced architecture does most of the talking. Nineteen rooms step down the rock face, old salvaged beams and heavy stone built into a structure that's practically new, which gives the whole place an appealing identity crisis. Balconies look out over the Turquoise Coast, there's a hammam, a pool deck, and a private yacht if the budget runs that direction.
