The way we travel has changed. Where wellness once meant a packed itinerary of treatments and classes, these days it often looks a little simpler: sleeping well, spending time outdoors, moving at your own pace, tucking into local produce with the people you love, and having the space to switch off for a while.

That's one of the reasons so many guests choose a villa stay. Privacy, flexibility, and the freedom to shape each day exactly as you like it. For some, that means morning swims and evenings in the sauna; for others, it's a yoga session overlooking the countryside, an in-villa massage arranged by our concierge team, or simply a quiet terrace and a good book. However you choose to unwind, many of our villas are designed to make it come naturally.

Not every villa earns a place in our collection. That's why our team gets out from behind their desks and goes to see them for themselves.

A couple of weeks ago, our Product Executive Annie spent a week at Ottoman Villa in Bodrum – Türkiye's answer to the French Riviera – and came back completely won over by the outdoor space. The 18-metre pool melts into the hills beyond, landscaped gardens are dotted with places to settle in with a book, and the outdoor kitchen and dining terrace are perfectly positioned for long dinners as the sun drops behind the mountains.

The interiors are just as thoughtful, with airy living spaces and understated Moroccan influences, but this is a villa that revolves around being outside. Mornings begin with a traditional Turkish breakfast prepared by the housekeeper, afternoons drift between poolside loungers and shaded corners of the garden, and evenings are best spent gathered around the table watching the sunset.

It's also the kind of visit that helps us understand the details that don't always come across online. While taxis are easy to arrange, Annie's advice is to hire a car if you'd like to make the most of the surrounding coastline, beaches and villages.

It's exactly this kind of first-hand knowledge that helps us match guests with the right villa, not just a beautiful one.
