What’s Hot: Mardan Palace Debuts on the Turkish Riviera

The Mediterranean coast around Antalya has long lured visitors to Turkey's "Riviera." Sun-worshippers and history buffs alike flock to this ancient coast, dotted with Roman and Ottoman sites. Needless to say, this shore is brimming with luxury resorts, and the new Mardan Palace promises to outdo them all with over-the-top luxury and facilities fit for a king.

Think four aquariums, a 900-seat amphitheater, an artificial "Swim Reef" packed with fish, and one of the biggest swimming pools in the world. Did we mention the nighttime laser show in front of the waterfront lagoon pool? The spa has it all-- from Hot Stone Massages to Thalasso Treatments. We hear you can even get botox treatments. Rooms are decadently designed with gold leaf and exclusive Hermès amenities. Each guest of the Mardan Palace will be pampered with personal butler service.
