Mandarin Oriental Bodrum

If you’re after world-class, five-star luxury on the Bodrum Peninsula, the Mandarin Oriental has it all: a wide range of luxurious accommodations, two exclusive beaches, and, of course, exquisite international cuisine. There’s something for everyone here – if you’re looking to stretch out and laze on golden sand, you’ve come to the right place, but those of a more energetic persuasion can scuba dive, fish, jet ski and more on the glassy waters of Paradise Bay. After working up an appetite, you’re spoilt for choice at the resort’s restaurants, with hearty trattoria-style Italian cuisine at Assaggio, Turkish and Mediterranean fare at Sofra, and contemporary Japanese cuisine at the stylish, wood-panelled Kurochan. When night falls, there’s no better place for a nightcap than the sophisticated La Suite, soundtracked by live jazz.
