Characteristic thing about this holiday is that between enjoying the beach, restaurants, the segregated spa and pool, guests hear calls to prayer - athan.

I had an amazing time. Unlike mainstream resorts here I feel more comfortable knowing we don't have to worry about people getting drunk around us.

A guided Ottoman heritage tour to Istanbul magnificent palaces and grand mosques was invaluable.

It is really fun for women, as we have our own private beach and the chance to enjoy ourselves, which we couldn't otherwise do.

The women’s complex was excellent. Another feature that many women consider the highlight is an open-air women-only swimming pool at the very top of the hotel. Even the lift accessing the pool is for women alone
