The Turkish based Gürok Group, which has JOALI Maldives and JOALI BEING, have launched brand BIJAL Resorts in the Antalya Province, Turkey.

BIJAL is a 19-villa resort in expansive grounds, including a pine forest and access to a beach on the Turkish Riviera.

The Southern Turkish coast enjoys warm and dry weather well into December, making it for Autumn, Winter and Spring Sun outside of peak season.

Each of the one, two, three or four bedroomed villas at BIJAL come with its own private pool within a spacious walled garden.

There is also a large lake-style pool at the ClubHouse and apath lined with olive trees (five-minute walk or two minutes by bike) to the Mediterranean.

Michelin-starred chef Theodor Falser has developed the menus at BIJAL's restaurants, with Italian fine-dining at the ClubHouse and 'toes-in-the-sand' informal dining at the BeachHouse Restaurant.

The small harbour-side town of Side is a 30-minute walk along the beach

The Turquoise Coast has more than 600 miles of shoreline and, it is said that Mark Anthony chose this part of Turkey as his wedding present to Cleopatra.

The ruins of the Mausoleum of Maussollos and the Temple of Artemis, two of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, are also found here.
