Maçakızı

Bodrum Peninsula


Ground zero for Göltürkbükü's chic summer crowd and the last hotel on the inner bay, this monument to the high life combines a resort feel with boutique trimmings and minimalist decor. Rooms, all with balcony or terrace, are huge and some have glassed-in showers with sea views. There's a sociable restaurant, a lively bar and a huge hamam and spa.

The real eyecatcher is the long wood-slatted boardwalk extending into the sea, replete with cosy pillow-beds. At night, its famous happy hours slip effortlessly into one of Göltürkbükü’s best parties.
