Superior rooms
There are three Superior rooms in the first building: Gold, Emerald and Amethyst.

Gold
Gold is on the ground floor in the middle of the first building. We seriously considered classifying Gold as a Deluxe room, because it is unusually spacious with a large couch. The long pool is almost divided by a small sun terrace. The long main terrace is lined with colourful plants and there is a sunshade and sunbed.

Décor and accommodation
All rooms at The Peninsula Gardens are decorated to a very high standard. They feature huge King-sized beds, which can be separated into capacious single beds if required.

Even the poolside décor has been carefully considered. The decks and terraces have juniper trees, whose sweet, pine-like aroma is enhanced by the splashes of water from the pools. Juniper is widely used in aromatherapy and has a long tradition of use in healing and meditation.

There are large plasma TVs in every room, with DVD players and satellite reception offering channels in multiple languages. You have tea and coffee making facilities and the finest Molton Brown toiletries. Room service is available between 8 am and midnight, allowing you to enjoy selections from the hotel’s excellent menus in the privacy and comfort of your balcony or terrace; local charges apply. Guests can also enjoy the new turn down service in 2012. As well as a pillow menu.

The bathrooms and shower rooms have one-way mirrors, which are slightly disconcerting at first. Be assured that you can see into the bedroom, but no-one can see you.

But by far the most stunning feature of each room – apart from the views – is the large inset mural of pure onyx, which glows serenely in the setting sun. The onyx motif is continued with the floor lights set around the king-sized beds. After dark, turn off all the lights except these onyx lamps; the light is warm, magical and romantic.. Every room also has an iPod docking station and there is free WiFi access throughout the hotel.

Dining and relaxation
The restaurant and bar at The Peninsula Gardens have lovely views of the sea and the islands. The hotel has rapidly become renowned for the quality and variety of its cuisine.

There is a substantial indoor pool measuring 25m x 5m, a Turkish bath, a steam room, sauna and massage rooms, as well as a small fitness suite. The outdoor pool has intermittent wave effects, adding a dimension of fun to the magic of its infinity design.

You can also stretch out with some invigorating yoga and pilates, courtesy of Elixir’s representative at the hotel. One to one sessions can be arranged in the privacy of your own terrace and a local charge applies. Down by the sea, the wooden decks are thoughtfully set on different levels to give you more privacy as you bask.

Seafront Cabanas- available for daily private hire

We have 2 new cabanas at the waterfront for daily hire, with private butlers. Each Cabana has an iPod docking station, a minibar stocked with juices and soft drinks, a digital safe and a laptop with WiFi access. Iced tea and smoothie shots will be served throughout the day and there is a direct line to the hotel for exclusive Butler service.

Again new for 2012, guests will be able to enjoy the new lounge complete with a snooker table.

Note: The Peninsula Gardens cannot accept bookings for children under the age of 14.

Out and about
If you can bring yourself to leave the cool comfort of your room to explore the surroundings, book the hotel's private goulette for the day. There are few more essentially Turkish experiences than a sun-soaked cruise along the historic Lycian coast.

There is a complimentary shuttle into Kas, a journey of less than 5 minutes. The last shuttle leaves the hotel at 7.30 pm and returns from the village at 10.30 pm – ideal for those who wish to dine out. And if you want to linger longer to enjoy late night shopping and the live soul and jazz bars of Kas, the taxis home are not expensive. You might even prefer to walk to the village from the hotel. It takes about 30 minutes and the views along the peninsula are lovely.

The Peninsula Gardens may be a newcomer to the Mediterranean, but it has immediately become a coveted landmark among many splendid destinations. We are proud to welcome it to the Elixir Turkish Collection.

Special offers
To mark the new season of The Peninsula Gardens, we are offering a free day's excursion aboard the hotel's goulette, including lunch, to all Elixir guests staying minimum of one week . Please ask for details when you book.

Special occasions
If your stay at Peninsula Gardens is part of a honeymoon, anniversary or birthday celebration, you can enjoy a complimentary candle-lit dinner for two (excluding drinks) and a complimentary one-hour partner massage.

One of the villas is right next door to the hotel; two more are less 100 metres away.
