Six Senses Kocatas Mansions, Turkey

• Where East meets West: The five-star Six Senses Kocatas Mansions is located in the serene Sariyer district, on the outskirts of multicultural Istanbul. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, the hotel is a haven of relaxation on the banks of the Bosphorus river. Interiors nod to both European and Asian-inspired decor, textiles and furnishings, presenting you with a unique place to unwind.

• Sophisticated dining with renowned chefs: Begin your culinary journey at Kahve, an elegant all-day lounge where coffee and sweet treats are served alongside views of the river. Celebrity chefs Richard Sandoval and Mehmet Gürs will illuminate your evening with mouthwatering takes on Pan-Asian and Latin cuisine at Toro Latin Gastro Bar, while the on-hand mixologist will help you wash it down with creative concoctions.

• Wellbeing in every direction: Where better to relax than on the cusp of two great cultures? Six Senses spa encapsulates the best of East and West in their treatments, from Thai Herbal massages to Kneipp foot bath therapy. It’s not just inside that you’ll feel at peace, but outside too - take a walk through the woods, or board a boat and cruise down the steady river.
