An idyllic resort overlooking the Aegean Sea, Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum is an opulent destination retreat that offers visitors the perfect combination of style, serenity and five-star comfort.

Nestled in the resort’s landscaped hillside and surrounded by ancient olive groves and pine trees, the resort’s contemporary guestrooms, suites and villas  – created by designer Antonio Citterio – all incorporate guest centered technology and offer sun decks, terraces or balconies to soak up the incredible vistas, many with private gardens and spectacular infinity edge pools.

The expansive spa is spread over three levels with 12 treatment rooms and Couples’ Spa Suite, as well as two outdoor cabanas. A menu of holistic signature treatments using natural handmade ingredients from the resort’s own gardens is complemented by a series of wellness programmes. Stunning hammams with private scrub rooms, an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor vitality pool complete the picture.

Extensive fitness facilities include a gym, dedicated Pilates and yoga studio, two tennis courts, a basketball court, a jogging path circling Paradise Bay and an array of swimming pools set in the resort’s lush green hillsides.

Most guest activities are focused around the resort’s pretty shoreline and two private beaches, with an aquatic centre offering scuba diving and fishing. There are also helicopter and traditional Turkish sailboat tours for the more adventurous.
