This tranquil retreat sits amongst fragrant olive groves and cypress trees on Bodrum’s northern coastline, with far-reaching views of the Aegean adding to the sense of being cocooned in nature. With its own private pebble beach and vast infinity pool boasting panoramic sea views, it is a sanctuary of peace and relaxation yet just a 30 minute drive from Bodrum. The 36 pavilions dotted along the hillside are the epitome of quiet luxury, with a harmonious, refined design, private heated pools and serene outdoor spaces.
Dining options abound, from light lunches looking out over the infinity pool to the bay beyond, to hot crispy tempura and hand rolled sushi at Sushi by Amanruya and rustic Turkish cuisine with staggering views at the Anatolian Dining Pavilion. Enjoy a rejuvenating treatment at the spa, yoga in the studio, or take a short buggy ride to the Beach Club for mixologist-crafted cocktails by the water’s edge. An imaginatively curated selection of experiences allows you to become immersed in the culture of the region, with pottery lessons from a local artisan, visits to traditional rug weaving villages and fishing trips with local fishermen.
