Are you currently in the process of planning your Easter getaway? Consider the Mediterranean haven of Amanruya and the eco-friendly Six Senses Ibiza, amongst others, for your next sojourn.
Scroll on for this week’s rundown in full.
BOOK THIS Amanruya
Re-opening for the season on the 1 April 2022, the Mediterranean haven of Amanruya is a sun-kissed spot that we can’t wait to visit from the spring season onwards. Resting amidst olive groves and cypress trees on an isolated bay along Turkey’s Bodrum Peninsula, the village-like resort is composed of apricot-coloured stone pavilions which open onto picturesque gardens with private swimming pools. Should the desire to mix with your fellow guests arise, head to the emerald-green marble-lined 50m infinity pool and set up camp for the afternoon. Neighbouring the pool, Amanruya’s Spa is dedicated to holistic wellness, offering an extensive spa menu inspired by traditional Turkish wellbeing rituals, as well as classic massages, facials, and more.
After ample relaxation, discover the wider Aegean region, which offers classical history and natural beauty in equal measure. Visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites and island hopping on traditional Turkish gulets should be top of your list. Following a morning of adventuring, enjoy classic Turkish or Mediterranean cuisine at the Poolside Dining Pavilion, feasting on a medley of mezze platters and daily changing seafood options, or head to the Beach Club for light lunches and midday snacks. Feeling recharged postprandial? Take a quick 15-minute drive to nearby Bodrum town to further explore the Turkish Riviera.
RELAX WITH THIS Healing Spirit Bath Soak, Wilder Botanics
Take the edge off a non-stop day by drawing yourself a nice bath infused with Wilder’s Healing Spirit Bath Soak. A heady blend of ‘scented essential oils, including vetiver, to uplift the spirit, and pink Himalayan salts, Calendula infused oil, and fine Kaolin clay to heal the whole body’, work together to restore a feeling of wellbeing. In addition to their mind-easing powers, you’ll feel super soft post-tub time – ah, the powers of a leisurely soak.
BOOKMARK THIS Six Senses Ibiza
Situated in the crystalline Xarraca Bay, Six Senses Ibiza is an ideal place to rest and recharge. Its eco-friendly architecture and design make it a top choice for conscious travellers – it’s also the first hotel in the Balearic Islands to achieve achieve BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certification, one of the world’s leading sustainability assessment methods for buildings. What’s more, all the food here is local, seasonal, and organic, whilst toiletries are plastic-free. Though plotted away from the party people on the island’s sleepier northern side, Six Senses Ibiza isn’t wholly virtuous – come evening, let your hair down a little and make a beeline for Beach Caves, the hotel’s live music venue.
