Mandarin Oriental Bodrum

Enjoying a remarkable location alongside the glistening waters of the Aegean Sea on the Bodrum Peninsula, all while offering the utmost in luxury and diverse facilities, Mandarin Oriental Bodrum promises one of Turkey’s most mesmerising and rewarding stays. Comprising 20 or so olive-coloured geometric blocks, the hotel is spread across almost 150 acres, set in tiers down a wooded hillside towards inviting strips of sandy beach and the clear blue of the sea. Stylish interiors with Asian character will greet each guest, with the hotel dotted with teak and muted marble, while also interspersed with modern artwork.

There are 59 large guest rooms, 29 luxurious suites, 36 lifestyle apartments and 13 villas to consider at Mandarin Oriental Bodrum, offering the perfect blend of luxury and comfort in the most welcoming of large spaces. Nearly all of them benefit from a breathtaking sea view, with some enjoying verdant garden views, while sleek and simple decor is met by modern amenities and facilities to ensure an effortlessly relaxed stay. Other features such as outdoor terraces, plunge pools and fully equipped kitchens can be enjoyed for those hoping for even more impressive living quarters.

The dining scene at the hotel is just as diverse and inviting as its collection of rooms and suites, ready to reward each and every preference with a range of cuisines and flavours. For delicious Italian cuisine, head to the decking over the sea at Assaggio, while Bodrum Balikçisi is the place to go for fresh seafood and Sofra for traditional Turkish fare. Cocktails and pre-dinner drinks are best enjoyed at Blue Beach Club & Bar and at Mandarin Bar – there’s truly a place for every occasion. When it comes to relaxation and activities, many will be drawn to the three-storied spa, with its large treatment rooms and incredible array of facilities, while a range of water sports opportunities and the obvious lure of the beach will afford you a hefty dose of the sun, sand and sea.
