At a certain point in our lives, we have to accept that we’ll probably never be rich, famous celebrities. But the Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum is so luxurious, that guests can pretend to be rich, famous celebrities, and that’s almost as good. Each room in this five-star resort comes with its own balcony or outdoor space, with many featuring their own private plunge pools. If you’re feeling particularly decadent, the hotel even provides helicopter tours around the coastline.

There’s no point going on holiday if you can’t post pictures on social media and make everyone jealous. The bars at Caresse are particularly photogenic, making them ideal for any budding influencers. One particular highlight is the Glass Lounge, which features outdoor sunken terraces designed to encourage socialising while still providing privacy. It’s a great place to watch the sun set over the Aegean Sea. Once the sun is down, head over to the hotel’s Buddha Bar for cocktails.
