Summer 2018

77 1802LU18 Angel’s Marmaris is a 5-star establishment that truly pushes the limits on what it means to be a luxury hotel. Situated in Marmaris, a Mediterranean town along the Turkish Riviera, Angel Marmaris is a marvel, a marriage of outstanding natural beauty and human achievement. For its undisputed excellence in the luxury sector, Angels Marmaris was selected in LUXlife’s 2018 Global Luxury Hotel & Spa Awards, with the title of Most Outstanding Luxury Family Resort, Turkey. On the back of this win, we profiled the resort to see why it is considered one of the world’s best. Angel’s Marmaris is the last word in luxury – a sprawling resort designed to be the perfect escape for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the very best that life has to offer. Each of the hotel’s 182 rooms boasts unprecedented views of the surrounding landscape – a veritable utopia of turquoise waters, golden beaches, and pine-covered peaks that rise out of the sea like leviathans. It’s a vision worthy of an old master, perhaps Lorrain, Greco or Friedrich, and only acts to encourage the otherworldly feeling that embraces everything the eye can see. Angel’s resort presents an astonishing first impression, a striking shock of white backed against a sea of emerald. At night, this façade shimmers like starlight against a black sky, ignited by a thousand lanterns. The clean Mediterranean architecture finds inspiration in the elegance typified by the Ottoman Revival and reminiscent of the Beaux-Art style- all arches, balustrades, rusticated walls and colonnades. In the guest areas, metropolitan western design takes the lead, most prominent in the parquet flooring, and rich mahogany. Acting as a reflection of the people that stay within its walls, Angel’s Marmaris perfects this equilibrium, balancing the eastern and western worlds. Outside of the core resort, dotted sporadically along the coast, are Angel’s Marmaris Resort’s villas – two storey structures with a balcony and private terrace. Paired with a personal butler, these are designed with families in mind, and offer a respite from the bustle of the main hotel. For the gourmets, the resort has no fewer than seven restaurants; from Italian cuisine at the Angelo, to the finest, fresh seafood in the Yosun restaurant, every taste has been accounted for. The same can be said when it comes to guest amenities, with leisurely gardens, two tennis courts, a bowling alley, arcade, a volleyball court, playground, cinema, spa, hammam, and meeting room, to name but a few. This epitomises the level of care, and dedication to detail, that Angel’s has championed since its establishment – a quality of service that few can hope to challenge. Marmaris lays claim to many world-class hotels, but Angel’s Marmaris rises above the competition with its striking architecture, opulent décor, and faultless service. For those reasons, Angel Marmaris was the only choice as the Most Outstanding Luxury Family Resort in Turkey in our flagship Global Luxury Hotel & Spa Awards programme. From the most celebrated of establishments to the most secret of hideaways, the Global Luxury Hotel & Spa Awards acknowledges the master-classes in hospitality, the finest food and the wonders of architectural design. It is a list of only the most excellent hotels and spas, a guide to the must-visit and the must-experience.
