Hotel Charisma

Hotel Charisma details

The Charisma is in a prime spot on Kusadasi’s seafront, right next to the marina. There's no beach as such here - instead, the hotel comes with its own wooden deck that looks out over the water. It's kitted out with beanbags and hammocks, making it a great relaxation spot. There are plenty of restaurants at your fingertips, too – you can walk to them in less than 15 minutes.

Thanks to the waterside setting, every inch of the hotel offers up widescreen Aegean views. And the pool terrace is the best place to make the most of them. A glossy infinity number, this fan-shaped stretch of turquoise is accessorised with wooden sunbeds, white parasols and a separate whirlpool tub. Charisma’s wellness centre has also grabbed a front-row seat. It’s home to an indoor pool, Turkish bath and sauna, plus a large gym.

Inside, this place is seriously good-looking. Funky designs are flaunted in the lobby, with black lacquered woodwork, plump red sofas and white button-back chairs. The lobby bar works the monochrome look, and the wall of windows is a work of art in itself, framing that vivid blue seascape.

Spacious bedrooms are an effortless blend of classic elegance and modern chic. A charcoal and cream colour scheme has been teamed with box-shaped furniture. Factor in better-than-home-beds and a marble bathroom and you’ve got one luxurious space. Contemporary extras like LCD TVs and whirlpool baths give added glamour, and a seaview balcony is the perfect finishing touch.
