Despite its compact size, Yazz Collective is, in many ways, a resort of two halves. Arriving by boat brings the sandy shore into focus, a polished beach club nestled between foresty rock formations that rise dramatically out of the azure Mediterranean. This is where long days are spent; fresh fruit platters fill breakfast tables pre-noon, pides are devoured between signature cocktails at lunch, and twinkling lights illuminate the turquoise depths as DJs set up for their weekend post-dinner parties. However, this is no Bodrum superclub - music finishes at a reasonable time, by which point sunkissed guests happily retreat to the rear of the complex. Here lie the 16 rooms, or 'guest houses; futuristic glass hideouts, incognito behind towering hedges that maintain in-room privacy but tend to tickle you after dark. Istanbul-based architecture agency FAAR Concept oversaw the design and stick to the winning boho formula, so expect crashpads fitted with cosy rugs, outdoor showers, and bathroom doors made of bamboo. As charming as the rooms are, there's little time to spend indoors - the seafront is the place to be as the superyachts pull up for a weekend of play. Connor Sturges

Situated five nautical miles from Fethiye on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, Yazz Collective is not only best by boat, it’s also only by boat, nestled as it is in a forested valley flanked on both sides by two sheer rock faces that make it inaccessible by road. There’s ample room for visiting superyachts to drop anchor in the bay’s sheltered waters, though, and a pair of Moonday 780 Was are on call to whisk guests to the beachfront reception desk. Designed by architect Fahrettin Aykut, Yazz has a strong sustainability ethos: there is no plastic on site, local and reclaimed nut tree wood is used throughout and most of the food ingredients are either grown at the resort’s farm or brought from local markets. Its 16 villas are dotted around the lush gardens with trees and boulders woven into the architecture. Spend your day island-hopping, enjoying a spa treatment in a Bali-style cabana overlooking the bay’s crystal-clear waters or feasting on Bafra pide and chilli margaritas at one of the resort’s six spa pools. When the sun goes down the focal point is the beachside restaurant and bar, where guest DJs play laid-back Balearic beats and head chef Mustafa Otar oversees a stunning culinary selection centered around fire-grilled meats and smoked fish. Choose the dry-aged tune, tomahawk steak with chimichurri, orzo with cuttlefish ink and mulberry ice cream for Aegean gastronomic perfection.
