Our Inspector's Highlights
- With 37 temperature-controlled pools spread across the property, you’re never far from a swim. The highlight is the luxury resort’s signature swim-up accommodations, where selected ground-floor rooms and suites open directly into a winding shared pool, so you can walk out onto your terrace and slip straight into the water.
- Fitness fanatics will find plenty to keep them motivated. In partnership with BXR London, one of the world’s leading boxing and fitness brands, XO Cape Arnna has created a purpose-built, indoor-outdoor athletic club offering boxing, strength and conditioning, mobility, Pilates and HYROX-inspired classes, plus dedicated performance retreats held throughout the year.
- Designed by child-focused architectural firm 3MOMS, Lumi’s World kids’ club is sure to enchant younger travelers. Dedicated spaces include an animation studio, a junior chefs’ kitchen and a PlayStation lounge for older kids, while the daily program ranges from baking and science experiments to outdoor art, lawn games and even trapeze. An adjoining water park is packed with slides and splash zones to keep them cool during the hotter months.
- No Turkish getaway is complete without a hammam experience, and XO Cape Arnna delivers with a traditional Turkish bath. Beyond the steam and scrub, the spa also features an impressive hydrotherapy circuit complete with an igloo room, Himalayan salt room and a Kneipp Walk, where alternating hot and cold foot baths are designed to boost circulation and aid recovery.
- The award-winning interiors by Turkish designer Yesim Kozanli feel refreshingly different from the typical all-inclusive. The soaring, cathedral-like lobby commands attention, while the guest rooms feel contemporary, with earthy olive and sand tones, brown leather accents and stylish outdoor furniture. Starting from a generous 538 square feet, the accommodations are also notably spacious, with large balconies or terraces that make the most of the surrounding pine forests and sea views.
The Restaurants
- With 19 restaurants, bars and cafés, you'll never be short of choice. From Italian and Asian fusion to sports bars, patisseries and expansive buffets, there's something for every palate. Reservations are handled through the resort app, and while the vast majority are included in the all-inclusive package, a handful of family-side restaurants require a supplement.
- For those keen to sample the local cuisine, Kafi showcases contemporary Anatolian cooking. Expect beautifully grilled kebabs, succulent lamb chops and other regional favorites served in a stylish setting with alfresco seating. (Note that this family-side restaurant carries a small supplement.)
- QuicheNiche is the Fethiye resort’s go-to for health-conscious dining. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it serves exclusively vegan and gluten-free dishes that cater to a wide range of dietary preferences and sensitivities.
- Fancy a night out in Budapest without the flight? The Duchess brings one of the Hungarian capital’s most acclaimed rooftop bar concepts to the Turkish Riviera, offering elegant dinners, cocktails, and live entertainment in a sophisticated adults-only setting.
- No matter your age, Clementine Patisserie is hard to resist. The pastel-toned café is dedicated to all things sweet, serving freshly baked pastries, delicate macarons, house-made ice cream, flowing chocolate fountains and plenty of other indulgent treats.
