Mardan Palace is one of those elegant beach resorts that make you never want to go home. The architecture of ancient ottoman days is combined with a great passion for service and quality which is unforgettable.

If you are looking for one of the adults only luxury beach resorts, this is an excellent choice. There are three beautiful pools and a piano bar that plays live jazz. It is in the fishing village of Playa Blanca, and has stylish Spanish-Arabian touches in its decor. The sunset views are incredible. And, it’s only a 15 minute walk along the seafront walk to the old town.

Overlooking Salt Creek Beach and set high on a dramatic ocean bluff, there’s nothing like the Ritz. There are miles of sandy beach. Watch the surfers from your balcony or go down and catch a few waves yourself. The spa is excellent, as is the brunch on Sundays.
