LUX* Bodrum is a sparkling new addition to Turkey’s Aegean Riviera, the country’s most glamourous holiday destination. Perched on a picturesque pine-clad site and surrounded by rocky coves, the brand new resort lies on the south-western coastline, on a private peninsula with its own exclusive bay, where the Aegean is at its bluest. Setting it apart are the spectacular sea views, private beach and breathtaking sunsets that can be enjoyed from every angle. It is also located not far from some of the Greek islands, including Patmos and Kos.

Tucked away along the Bodrum peninsula, the Resort lies in a sheltered cove, offering a special kind of intimacy. This laid-back haven of luxury has 91 guest rooms and 19 private residences and a one-of-a-kind exclusive beach house with its own private yacht anchorage. The perfect base to explore the extraordinary beauty, culture and history of this remarkable part of the world, indulge in a welcoming warmth and lighter, brighter atmosphere.

Moreover, LUX* Bodrum Resort & Residences has already won the silver A’Design Award in the category for Architecture, Building and Structure Design. Paul Jones, LUX* Resorts & Hotels’ CEO, can’t hide his delight. “For LUX*, this is a fantastic addition to the portfolio, bringing the LUX* brand to the shores of the Aegean Sea. LUX* Resorts & Hotels is well known for the innovations it has brought to the tourism industry, as well as offering world-class service standards, and now, LUX* Bodrum takes our reputation further.”

The sea is always the star along this coastline and LUX* Bodrum has been designed so guests enjoy it fully. In the heart of the resort, the rooms and suites provide discretion within a sophisticated setting, and exceptional 180-degree ocean views. Floor-to-ceiling windows promise unforgettable high-definition views of the crystal waters and Turkey’s famous moonrise. With panoramic sea views, the three-room villas with private terrace and balcony provide ideal accommodation for large families. Pure clean lines and bespoke furnishing complement the award-winning architecture which blends harmoniously with nature – each feature of LUX* Bodrum is carefully orientated to make the most of the natural lie of the land. As well as a picture-postcard private beach, LUX* Bodrum has a 20m x 8m swimming pool, while the Aegean itself is a winner for a refreshing swim. Beyond the resort, Bodrum Peninsula’s countryside and its coastal and inland villages beg to be explored.

In Turkey, the word keyif is used to express conviviality, contentment and the fun of getting together. The LUX* own brand of beach club Beach Rouge, is where you’ll find it. It’s an easy-going, feet-in-the-sand chill-out zone by day and a spirited head-in-the-clouds party hang-out by night. Beside LUX* Bodrum’s stretch of shoreline, guests gravitate to LUX* Bodrum’s atmospheric bar, restaurant, club lounge to relax in armchairs and day beds or soak up the sunshine on the wooden deck to graze and feast all day. By night, its music-loving personality kicks in as DJs amp up the beat, mixologists get shaking and bon viveurs hit the dancefloor.
