A new boutique hotel, the Oyster Residence, Beyaz Yunuz, has opened on the Lycian coast, but how can you go for the weekend when the area is served mostly by weekly charters? On July 21, Turkey specialist Exclusive Escapes launches a three-day package, flying out with British Airways from Gatwick to Dalaman on Saturday morning and returning on Tuesday, throughout the summer season.

The seven suites have Jacuzzis on private terraces that are as big as the rooms themselves, king size beds and floor-to-ceiling windows. There's also a Turkish bath, an infinity pool and steps leading down to Turkey's most beautiful lagoon at Ölü Deniz. Guests can visit Kizil Ada island for an afternoon at the private beach club followed by dinner at the new Beyaz Yunuz restaurant on the island.

· Exclusive Escapes (020-8605 3500, exclusiveescapes.co.uk) offers three nights' half board from £450pp, inc flights, transfers and a day's gulet cruise. A one-week stay costs £1,050
