About the Resort
A polished Mandarin Oriental resort on Paradise Bay
Mandarin Oriental Bodrum is the polished MO resort on Paradise Bay — a sixty-hectare hillside on the northern Bodrum Peninsula near the jet-set village of Turkbuku, in Antonio Citterio design of teak and local stone. Two private beaches of extra-soft sand front the bay, a twenty-seven-hundred-square-metre, three-level spa centres on a traditional Turkish hammam, and an eleven-venue dining and bar scene runs from modern Chinese and Japanese tapas to what is called Bodrum's most glamorous bar. Around 109 rooms and nine villas, the suites with plunge or private pools, look over the Aegean, with four-plus pools and an aquatic centre for scuba, sailing and gulet tours. The setting is the chic northern Bodrum Peninsula: the jet-set village of Turkbuku and its beach clubs lie minutes away, Bodrum town with its Castle of St Peter and the site of the ancient Mausoleum at Halicarnassus is a short drive, and gulet cruises along the Aegean coast leave from the bay. It is the branded, design-led jet-set pick of the Aegean — distinct from the wellness-led Six Senses and the five-beach D Maris Bay. Seasonal, summer-peak.

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Mandarin Oriental Bodrum. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Six Senses Kaplankaya
Six Senses Kaplankaya is the wellness-led retreat on a remote Aegean peninsula — a Mediterranean village stepped into a secluded hillside north of Bodrum, reached by private boat or helicopter. Its heart is a 10,000-square-metre spa, one of Europe's largest, with 38 treatment rooms, a meditation cave and pioneering integrative wellness — from cryotherapy and Watsu to Chinese medicine, led by doctors and dieticians, with sleep, detox and emotional-healing programmes. Around 141 rooms include ridge villas connected by funicular, each with a private infinity pool, five organic restaurants nourish from the Earth Lab and garden, and three to five private beaches edge the bay. The wellness-and-remote pick of the Aegean — distinct from the jet-set Mandarin Oriental and the five-beach D Maris Bay. Seasonal, summer-peak.

D Maris Bay
D Maris Bay is the five-beach superyacht resort on the Datca Peninsula — high on a pine-clad nature reserve where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean, with its own yacht club. Five private natural beaches, each a different concept, are linked by speedboat — from the lively Blue-Flag Bay Beach to the no-music, under-12-free Silence Beach. The dining roster gathers Zuma, Salt Bae's Nusr-et and St Barts' La Guerite, the yacht club runs a 100-foot sailing yacht and a helicopter, and the Mytha Spa carries the Bodyism wellness programme. Around 196 rooms and a butler villa look over the bay, with tennis and full watersports including PADI diving. The five-beach, superyacht and dining-roster pick of the Aegean — distinct from the polished Mandarin Oriental and the wellness-led Six Senses. Seasonal, April to November.

Museum Hotel, Cappadocia
Museum Hotel is the living-museum cave hotel beneath Uchisar Castle — Turkey's only Relais & Chateaux, on the slopes of Cappadocia's highest point, where 34 cave and stone rooms are each decorated with priceless registered antiques, from Hittite and Roman to Seljuk and Ottoman, no two alike. A heated valley-view pool stays open year-round as balloons drift overhead at dawn, Lil'a dines on forgotten Anatolian cuisine with Relais & Chateaux and Michelin Guide recognition, and the Cavo cave cellar pours curated Turkish wines. Below stretch the rose ravines, fairy chimneys and Mount Erciyes. The museum-antiques cave hotel of Cappadocia — distinct from the restored-monastery and own-vineyard wine cellar of Argos. Year-round, with winter snow and balloons.
