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.
