Hilton has opened a new 433-room luxury resort on the Bodrum peninsula of Turkey, as development outside of the region’s busy capital continues to accelerate.

The Hilton Bodrum Turkbuku Resort & Spa is situated in the Paradise Bay area of the region, a quieter area north of Bodrum which boasts a crystal-clear bay and comparatively little development.

Hilton’s property features five restaurants and five bars, offering everything from traditional Turkish cuisine to Italian food, local seafood and a traditional pub.

There are six pools, including a mini aqua-park for kids with water slides, a sunbathing deck, water sports center and extensive spa and health center.

For families, the resort also offers eight detached villas set inside the gardens, all of which provide easy access to the nearby private beach.

The city of Bodrum on the southern side of the peninsula is already a popular destination with sun seekers thanks to its beautiful Aegean seas and excellent weather, but developers are increasingly exploring nearby areas to cater for visitors who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city during the summer months.
