The soon-to-be-opened (October 2008) Mardan Palace in Antalya, Turkey provides the ultimate environment for a luxurious holiday. Combining rich culture with traditional architecture and modern amenities, it will undoubtedly be the perfect location for an indulgent trip where guests can choose how to divide their time between sun, spa, and culture. With the hotel having been designed by world renowned interior designers, The Dolmabahche Palace serving as an imposing lobby, and guest entertainment varying from ten restaurants to an amphitheatre that can seat 900, Mardan Palace has to be one of the World’s most impressive resort that will be a must-experience for travellers from all over the world.
Mardan Palace’s accommodation equals the grandeur of the architecture, with majestic furnishings and every comfort that a sophisticated traveller could desire. There are various different types of rooms to suit different preferences and budgets, but no room, suite or villa is likely disappoint. However, it is not likely that guests will spend much time in their rooms given the setting on the impressive crystal-clear coastline of the Turkish Riviera and surrounded by the imposing Toros mountains where hiking or hunting is highly recommended. With one of the largest swimming pools in the world at 16,000sqm, tennis courts and an exquisite golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus (opening 2010), even Mardan Palace’s most active guests will not be short of choice by day, and many will opt to visit the hotel’s nightclub or cinema by night.

This machine provides the closest simulation to mountain biking that you can get on the market currently.

And to really keep you motivated, a TV screen attached to the bike will make you forget that you’re even exercising.
Price is £5,999.
