More great stays on the Turkish coast

Macakizi, Bodrum
In Bodrum, bohemian, laid-back luxury starts and ends at Macakizi, a family-run hotel that opened in the 1970s in Turkbuku, a private bay a 30- minute drive from the city centre. On a hillside amid purple bougainvillea and pines broken up by leafy paths, the vibe at this 51-room hotel is boho- chic – everyone from Kate Moss to Mick Jagger and Aretha Franklin has stayed. The beating heart of Macakizi is its beach club, with its pine deck and white daybeds, but the restaurant, which last year was awarded its first Michelin star, is also popular. Details B&B doubles from £850, including return airport transfers (macakizi.com). Fly to Bodrum
