Bodrum, Turkey
The southwestern Aegean welcomed a 60-hectare waterfront resort at Bodrum’s Cennet Koyu (Paradise Bay) this summer. Boasting panoramic sea views, Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum offers some of the most spacious guestrooms on the peninsula, many of which are annexed with terraces, private dining areas and sundecks.
The suites all feature private plunge pools and outdoor shower areas within secluded gardens, all looking out upon the Aegean, the resort’s two beaches and the surrounding hills. The property’s 10 restaurants and bars provide a range of options, and activities on offer include a expansive 2,700-square-metre spa.
