    Explore Turkey's western coastline on a luxury trip, designed just for you

    Stunning coastline and ancient archaeological treasures

    As you head south along Turkey’s beautiful western coastline, you’ll discover Bodrum and numerous other gems of Turkey’s “Turquoise Coast”. The former is a rewarding mixture of exclusive resorts, laid-back coastal villages and inviting beaches, primarily found along its peninsula, as well as an enigmatic and landmark-rich main town filled with charming eateries and atmospheric alleyways.

    As you wind around the southwestern corner of the mainland, the curves of white sand become ever more frequent, leading to famed resorts such as Oludeniz and Fethiye, all in easy reach of Bodrum for those hoping to tick off more pristine beaches of Turkey. On the peninsula itself, and from Bodrum’s town, you can still discover a number of beautiful beaches and idyllic stretches of coastline, many rarely frequented by tourists. One of the most rewarding experiences of Bodrum is taking to the waters surrounding it, heading on board a traditional three-masted wooden sailing vessel known as a gulet. This is the best and most serene way to soak up the peninsula’s scenic beauty, along with diving into the clear waters of the Aegean Sea.

    Within the town, the most famed landmark is surely Bodrum’s immense castle. Presenting a fantastic example of medieval western military architecture, construction of the castle began in 1402, and the complex is defined by its remarkable collection of courtyards, turrets, galleries and sunken gardens.

    Luxury Accommodation in Bodrum

    There are many incredible places to stay in Bodrum. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

    Bodrum

    The Bodrum Edition
    Blessed with a perfect position on the banks of the Turquoise Coast, this stylish boutique hotel of various levels appears to almost spill out onto a private beach, providing its guests with direct access to the sea. The sprawling levels feature all-encompassing terraces, manicured lawns and turquoise pools, shaded by over-arching olive trees, or trellises, dappled with bougainvillea and foliage. The focal point of the hotel, a grand structure of marble and glass, looks out over the grounds, boasting supreme vistas of the white stretch of sand below. Branching out from this building, the guestrooms, lofts and villas, linked by paths, draw on soft tones and light woods, as well as marble bathrooms, with gaping tubs, to create tranquil interiors. Most of the accommodation has views of the Aegean Sea, and upgraded suites encompass kitchens and patios, with plunge pools. Room service is available 24-hour, but it would be a shame not to experience the mix of dining possibilities. The hotel’s signature restaurant, BRAVA, is a Latin American haven, with al fresco seating, while Morena is Mediterranean focused, using local flavours for inspiration. If you’re up for a taste of Turkish brunch, the Kitchen at the Bodrum EDITION is all about mezze-style platter indulgence, before you head to the Beach Club for a cocktail or the Discetto, to party with the late-night DJs. Recovery after the revelry can be experienced at the on-site spa of candle-lit cream treatment rooms. Guests have access to a steam room, plunge pool, therapy baths, and a selection of therapeutic and beauty treatments. Alternatively, you can sweat it out in the gym, or seek refreshment in the infinity pool, enfolded by cabanas, or take to the salty waters for a paddle.
