Cornelia Diamond is in an area of Antalya called Belek with it’s own beach and an ultra all inclusive system. There are 8 swimming pools, a beach, a water park, mini golf area, bowling & games room, tennis courts and a 27 hole golf course. We spent 2 nights of in a three-storey Diamond Suite, which had it’s own indoor pool on the ground floor. Cornelia Diamond has it’s own 27 hole signature course designed by Nick Faldo.

We spent 2 nights at the Raffles Hotel on a recent trip to Istanbul and it was my first ever time staying at a Raffles property . A dressing room, a wrap-around balcony with stunning views over the Bosphorus below and my favourite part of the suite – the bathroom When we came back and I walked into the bathroom, this is what I was greeted with: It was such a nice surprise and we had a lot of fun shooting in there! There are 2 pools to choose from; inside and out, one of the biggest spa’s in Istanbul and a well equipped gym.

Astarte Suites is located in the Akrotiri area of Santorini, about 45 minutes from Oia, nestled on the cliffs of Caldera with glorious views over the Aegean Sea, Fira, Oia and the volcano. With a stunning infinity pool where the sea and sky blend seamlessly together, Astarte suites is beautiful and extremely peaceful – making it an ideal spot for honeymooners or those that just want to relax and escape the busy areas of Oia or Thira. My favourite part, though, was our private infinity pool on our terrace (complete with Felix the flamingo) One of the best things about staying in any hotel is the breakfast and Astarte Suites certainly didn’t disappoint in that department. There was such a wide choice of things available such as sausages, different type of eggs, fruit, Greek yogurt with honey, cheeses, smoked salmon, cereals, pastries, all different fresh juices, champagne….I always ended up overeating because it was so yummy!

On our last night we were lucky enough to stay at Andronis Luxury Suites located in the heart of the town of Oia. I am obsessed with swimming pools and it was funny as we had seen these 2 amazing pools nestled away on one of the cliffs in Oia overlooking the cute white buildings, blue domed churches and the sea Simple, luxurious and chic, comes with it’s own butler, a bed with a memory foam mattress that I never wanted to leave and the pièce de résistance – a heated infinity pool with one of the best views over the cliffs of Oia. We had previously watched the sunset from the famous spot in Oia so this time we decided to enjoy it from our heated pool.
