Mardan Palace
The Mardan Palace in Antalya, Turkey opened in May 2009 and has already been called the most luxurious resort on the Mediterranean sea. Surrounded by the Taurus Mountain range, this palatial resort incorporates 560 rooms, including two Royal Suites with private pools. With its Turkish heritage in mind, the architecture reflects characteristic landmarks of Istanbul. The main hotel resembles ‘The Dolmabahce Palace’ and bridges spanning the pool are based on designs of the ‘Da Vinci Bridge’.
Gondolas sail guests around the Mediterranean’s largest swimming pool, five large aquariums reflect the Earth’s oceans in the hotel’s spa and restaurants. Europe’s only swimming reef provides underwater enthusiasts a place to explore while the spectacular amphitheatre seating 900 will host world-class entertainment and impressive light shows. The resort also features the 7500sqm ‘Mardan Spa’, 17 bars and 10 a la carte restaurants including Thai, Japanese, French, Russian, and traditional Turkish. Rooms rates range from EUR360 per night for a Superior Room in low season to EUR14,000 per night for a Royal Suite with private pool in High Season.
