Why villa holidays?

Turkey is well known for his warm climate from at least May to the beginning of November. This is one of the reasons why Elixir Holidays has some of their most gorgeous hotels including, the Peninsula Gardens Hotel, one of the most stylish luxury boutique hotels in Kas, Turkey. When you awake, wander for a leisurely breakfast to the restaurant, where Greek islands shimmer nearby in the morning haze or step straight onto your secluded terrace and take a dip in your own, private pool, where each of this stunning hotel’s rooms offers unrivalled privacy. We don’t know of any other of Kas Peninsula’s hotels (or around the Mediterranean), that offers such intimate, luxury in Turkey.
