The Turkish holiday resort which is just like the Maldives – and flights are £45 | The Sun

IF you fancy a trip to the Maldives without the long flight and expensive cost, thankfully you can opt for an alternative much closer to the UK.

Just four hours from the UK you can find a hotel has it's own overwater cabins, just like the ones in the Maldives.


Turkey is already a popular holiday spot with Brit holidaymakers thanks to its beautiful beaches, short flights, and pocket-friendly prices.

But one holidaymaker on social media has recently discovered Lujo Hotel in Bodrum in Turkey.

The luxury five-star retreat was three private beaches, four outdoor pools, and a water park.

Traveller Hannah, who is known as hannahburge28, posted a video on TikTok with the caption: "When you discover the Maldives in Turkey."

The video then panned to shots of overwater villas overlooking crystal clear waters.

In the background, viewers could spot palm trees and sunloungers with mattresses and pillows.

Other users in the comments who'd also stayed at the hotel, were quick to sing its praises.

One person wrote: "I can confirm Lujo is the best hotel ever, I've stayed there and can't wait to go back."

While another one added: "I can’t believe that’s not the Maldives, it looks lush."

But others were quick to point out the price of the hotel, which doesn't come cheap.

A five-night stay for two adults sharing a superior room with a partial sea view costs £5,575.

As many people noted, holidays for the Maldives could be purchased for that price.

That being said, Brit holidaymakers don't need to fork out thousands for aholiday to Bodrum.

Flights take just four hours to get to Bodrum from the UK with easyJet.

Direct flights with easyJet are cheap too, starting from just £45 for a one-way ticket.

Not only that but Turkey is much cheaper when you are there – a meal at an inexpensive restaurant costs €3.69 (£3.27) and pints cost just €2 (£1.77).

If you fancy staying elsewhere, hotels with a pool can be snapped up for as little as £20 per night per person.

Brits will be relieved to know that this pricey hotel isn't the only place in Turkey that's been likened to the Maldives.

Suluada is a Mediterranean island in the country that's surrounded by crystal clear waters with white sand.

The incredible Turkish island is located at the end of the Gulf of Antalya.
