Help me find somewhere fab

[Jiasmummy]

Looking for inspiration please. Have a budget around £3500 for 2 adults (early 60's) for next summer, ideally July before the kids break up for school.
Open to any ideas but would like to be away for around 10 nights.
Ideally very good all inclusive, this is dh only stipulation. We would like somewhere hot. Able to explore local area etc.
But not the Canary Islands or Spain. Not done long haul and think possibly budget too small and wrong time of year.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Greece or Turkey

I am looking at TUI blue Barut Fethiye. That would come in on budget

Thanks, we've stayed at a few Barut hotels in Turkey, absolutely brilliant. I wonder what other similar hotels are out there?

That one was recommended to us by someone who works at TUI. Said it was the best hotel they’ve worked in. Reviews are great

The hotels looks wonderful but is quite isolated, we like to go for a wander and this doesn't seem an option 😔

Tui Blue Caravel is gorgeous and adult only!

Turkey:
Hotel Aqua, Icmeler
Jiva Beach, Calis
Sundia Exclusive, Fethiye
Seaden Quality, Side
Barut Hemera, Side
Arum Barut, Side

Cyprus:
Crystal Springs, Protaras
Louis Paphos Breeze, Paphos
The Ivi Mare, Paphos

I'm looking at that one, is the beach okay and are sunbeds an issue?! Thank you. Not been to Zante before but that hotel keeps catching my eye.

Look at Tui Blue Suite Princess Hotels. We love the one in Gran Canaria and are planning to go to the one in Sorrento next year where you can visit Pompei, Herculaneum and Capri. Adults only, all inclusive and sheer bliss. There is entertainment in the evening if you want it and a quiet bar if you don’t. We alos have our eyes on the one in Agadir.

We just booked to go back to Riu Palace Punta Cana with Tui next July, its lovely, gorgeous beach and short transfer and should be in budget

@BarbaraV We always found a sun bed available somewhere, whether it be next to the pool (although these were generally taken early), on the grassy area or on the beach. . It was a clean beach with a mixture of sand and stones, but in one particular place the sand was so soft and golden all the way into the sea. Stunning transparent water.

We have just come back from Jiva Beach and loved it - we did have a family swim up though, right by the beach. Kids adored it and the food was really amazing for a reasonably priced all inclusive.

Look at the Ikos resorts. They have them in Greece and Spain. Five star all inclusive a la Carte- magnificent.

In the summer I had probably the best holiday I've ever had.

We went to Lindos on Rhodes.

Our hotel was absolutely fantastic! Even better than we were expecting. The pool was lovely and they had a private section of beach. At the pool and even at the beach, you could scan a QR code on the lounger and they'd bring you a drink or food.

Lindos was a great town with a good nightlife without being an 18-30 sort of place - just the right amount of liveliness for us.

Here's the hotel:

Kalkan in Turkey - very chilled, lovely village, small harbour, fabulous choice of restaurants (lots of rooftop ones)

Payava Hotel
Hotel Villa Mahal
Fidanka Hotel
Kalkan Saray Suites & several villa companies to name but a few...

Ikos for £3.5k really? Assuming £3.5k includes flights as well and not just accommodation only.
