Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum
Private beach retreat on Paradise Bay
Blending signature Mandarin Oriental East-Asian style and service with the idyllic surrounds of Turkey’s Bodrum Peninsula, this 109-key escape occupies a green hillside that commands stellar views of the crystal clear Aegean waters. The resort’s hues match the ancient olive trees around which it is set, imbuing a hint of the old-world rusticity, while access to two private sandy beaches and expansive spa and wellness facilities including hammam with private scrub rooms, give a wealth of opportunity to rejuvenate. Fusion restaurants, bars and lounge area plus the new addition of a Blue Marlin Ibiza beach club allay the deliberately secluded location.
