Michelin Selected
Michelin
It is a full-throttle family escape, where every generation has space to play, relax, and indulge, all without ever leaving the resort.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On the North Obhur coast, private grounds facing the waters of Obhur Bay.
The rooms
Rooms look out toward the gardens or the bay, and select villas come with private swimming pools.
The pools and hammam
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged bar stools line the lagoon pool, and a heated octagonal marble slab warms the traditional Turkish hammam.
The spa
Couples massage tables sit beneath backlit alcoves in the spa suite, joined by a private sauna and Jacuzzi.
Orient Restaurant
Tables look out over Obhur Creek, serving authentic Turkish meze and grilled beef shashlik along the waterfront promenade.
At the table
Turquoise serves international buffets beneath woven lamps, and outdoor bars pour drinks under illuminated canopies by the water.
How it began
The grounds originally opened in 1996 as Makarem Annakheel Village, a coastal chalet complex later transformed into a Rixos resort.
