Kempinski Hotel Barbaros Bay

Whether you’re looking to fly and flop on a private stretch of golden beach, be pampered like never before in a world-class spa, or sail on the turquoise coast of Gokova Bay, Kempinski Hotel allows you to do it all (and more) in ultimate style. Active types will relish the opportunity to scuba dive in submerged ancient ruins, trek through jaw-dropping scenery and traditional villages on the coastal Carian Trail, or windsurf, paddle board and jet ski in the serene Gokova Bay – but you’d also be forgiven for wanting to do little more than laze in the hotel’s stunning infinity pool, gazing out over the Aegean. Everything you need is on your doorstep here, but half an hour’s drive away – across the unspoilt wilderness of the Yuksel Caglar National Forest – lie the seaside restaurants, bars and boutiques of Bodrum.
