Home to a host of designer boutiques, trendy bars and beach clubs, Türkbükü is often referred to as the St. Tropez of Turkey, and now thanks to Maçakizi Restaurant, which has become a mecca for the jet-set, the hotel is putting the coastal town on the international map. Topping a hill strewn with olive groves, the 74-room hotel, most with panoramic views of the Aegean sea and beyond, is an exercise in understated luxury with travertine floors, open plan bathrooms and rain showers.

The restaurant, located in an open-air dining room serves up a sumptuous Mediterranean menu, while the private beach provides an intimate place to relax and soak up the surrounding scenery. Other facilities include a swimming pool, fitness center and the Nuxe Spa that has a traditional Turkish Hammam. A long time favorite holiday destination for the well-heeled classes and celebrities, Türkbükü is home to sensational yacht-peppered harbor. A stone´s throw from a host of cultural sites, such as the Bodrum Castle and Amphitheater, it is also a short distance to downtown Bodrum.
