The villa itself is just as incredible. A huge modern marble palace. The views from the upstairs rooms are breath-taking, & the downstairs room benefits from having direct access to the terrace. The infinity pool & jacuzzi really are the icing on the cake when it comes to the view - the blue of the pool contrasts strikingly against the light marble of the terrace, & combined with the sea, sky & rooftops in the background it's like my eyes are having an orgasm.
With Zumba out of the way we then head off down to the Turkish Baths. I didn't really think about what to expect before we got there, & even when we got there I was still envisaging a light massage with some gentle plinky plonky Turkish music playing in the background. Well, the plinky plonky music was there, but instead of the gentle massage I was expecting, 2 large hairy Turkish men came out wrapped in towels & proceeded to dowse us with water & exfoliate us from head to toe whilst we lay on a large slab of stone in what can only be described as a human oven. They then cover us in soap suds & give us a good old rub down. Strange... yet I was feeling good! A very thorough massage in a separate room followed, with face masks after that. The whole thing left me feeling so relaxed I nodded off in the waiting room afterwards. Definitely, definitely left wanting to go back again; don't think I have ever felt so relaxed!
We were sent home in a taxi in zombie like states to have another delicious juice for dinner (plus several handfuls of the nuts & seeds on offer) & headed to bed very swiftly after that for a long blissful sleep. After day 1 I can honestly say that I cannot remember when I last felt this relaxed!
