A five-star boutique sanctuary built directly into Yalıkavak Marina, where Mediterranean-Japanese dining, a private Aegean beach, and some of the most attentive service on the Bodrum Peninsula come together in an intimate collection of suites and villas.

Yalikavak Marina Hotel by METT Collection is a five-star boutique beachfront hotel integrated into Yalıkavak Marina on Turkey's Bodrum Peninsula. This is not a property that sits near the marina: it is part of it, placing you at the heart of Yalıkavak's superyacht culture, waterfront dining, and Aegean light from the moment you arrive. The hotel's collection of suites and villas, from beachfront junior suites to a 305-square-metre private villa with its own pool and yacht dock, is designed for travellers who want boutique intimacy without sacrificing space or service.

One guest summed up the arrival experience simply: 'A truly wonderful experience from start to finish. The hotel enjoys a perfect location in the heart of Yalikavak Marina, surrounded by excellent restaurants, shopping, and beautiful views.'

The hotel's defining quality is its service culture. At this scale, staff know you by name within hours. The team's attentiveness runs through every element of the stay, from personalised dining recommendations to swift, gracious problem-solving. As one guest wrote of the reception team: 'Her kindness and efficiency turned a stressful situation into a fantastic experience.' Another praised the concierge by name: 'His support with all our bookings, recommendations, and arrangements made everything seamless and stress-free. His professionalism, hospitality, and attention to detail truly enhanced our experience.'

AURA Beach, the hotel's signature restaurant, draws guests who are not even staying at the hotel. Its Mediterranean-Japanese fusion menu, beachfront setting, and social atmosphere have made it one of the most talked-about dining addresses on the Peninsula. The spa, hair and beauty salon, and fitness centre round out the wellness offering for those who want restoration alongside the Aegean.

The hotel opens seasonally: please confirm current availability with your Best at Travel consultant before planning your dates.

About Yalikavak Marina Hotel by METT Collection

Dining

AURA Beach is the reason many guests first hear of this hotel, and it rarely disappoints. The Pool Bar and 24/7 in room dining complete a dining landscape that is small in number of venues but exceptional in range and quality.

AURA Beach The hotel's signature restaurant sits beachfront, and its menu is one of the most ambitious on the Bodrum Peninsula: Mediterranean warmth and Japanese precision, combined in dishes designed for sharing, conversation, and the kind of long lunch that turns into dinner. The setting is organic and unhurried, with a vibrant social energy that makes it as appealing at sunset as at midday. The cuisine spans Mediterranean, Japanese, Chinese, Szechuan, sushi, seafood, Asian, and European influences, and the kitchen handles all of them with evident confidence.

The Flip Flop Traveller, reviewing the restaurant directly, captured one dish with unusual precision: 'The most tender calamari that I have ever had. If I didn't know what I was eating, I might have mistook it for really high quality rice noodles. It was that tender. It was served on top of creamy milky polenta with sumac and mastic gum foam. Straight up 10 out of 10.' That level of kitchen ambition, in a beachfront setting with a relaxed social atmosphere, is what makes AURA Beach a destination rather than simply a hotel restaurant.

Pool Bar Light Mediterranean bites and perfectly mixed cocktails, served poolside. This is the natural address for a late morning, a long afternoon, or a pre-dinner drink as the sun drops over the marina. The menu is deliberately simple: the setting does the rest.

In-Room Dining Available 24 hours a day, the in-room dining menu brings global comfort classics and local Turkish favourites directly to your suite or villa. Continental breakfast is included in your rate and can be served to your villa on request, making it a genuinely private start to the day if you prefer it that way.

Dietary requirements are fully accommodated across all dining: Halal, Kosher, Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free, and Dairy-free options are all available. Your Best at Travel consultant can note any specific requirements at the time of booking.

Best at Travel tip: Reserve your preferred evening at AURA Beach before you travel. The restaurant draws guests from across Yalıkavak, and the beachfront tables fill quickly during peak season. Your consultant can arrange this as part of your pre-arrival planning.

Spa & Wellness

The spa at Yalikavak Marina Hotel is a retreat within a retreat. Guests consistently rate the spa and wellness facilities among the hotel's most restorative features, and the combination of treatments, beauty services, and the hotel's two swimming pools creates a wellness landscape that feels genuinely complete for a property of this scale.

The spa itself offers a full treatment menu, complemented by a hair and beauty salon and a dedicated range of beauty services. The fitness centre is well equipped for guests who want to maintain a training routine alongside their holiday. For those who simply want to move slowly and recover, the two pools, including the infinity pool with its sea views over the Aegean, provide all the space and stillness required. The pools are open from 08:00 to 19:00 daily.

Its position relative to the sea creates the impression of water meeting water, and the outlook across the marina and the Aegean beyond is the kind of view that rewards an unhurried morning.

Spa treatments are available on an advance-booking basis. Your Best at Travel consultant can confirm current spa scheduling and recommend which treatments to reserve ahead of arrival.

Best at Travel tip: Book your spa treatments before you travel rather than on arrival. Availability at boutique properties of this size can be limited during peak weeks, and securing your preferred sessions in advance is always worthwhile.

Two swimming pools (including an infinity pool with Aegean sea views), a private beach, spa, hair and beauty salon, fitness centre, free high-speed WiFi throughout, free private parking, 24-hour security, laundry service, car rental assistance, bicycle rental, shuttle service, and complimentary airport transfers. Pets under 8kg are welcome at no charge.

Inclusions

Your Best at Travel consultant will match the right rate plan to your travel dates and party, and can confirm which packages are available for your preferred category.

Activities

The hotel's activity offering reflects its marina setting: watersports are the natural centrepiece, with a range of options available directly from the private beach. Bicycle rental gives you an independent way to explore Yalıkavak and the surrounding coastline. Cultural tours and local culture classes are available for guests who want to engage with the Peninsula's history and traditions. Temporary art galleries within the marina precinct add an unexpected cultural dimension to the stay.

Watersports activities may require additional insurance depending on the activity chosen; your consultant can advise.

Things to Do

Yalıkavak Marina You are already in it. Yalıkavak Marina is one of the Aegean's most prestigious superyacht harbours, and the hotel's direct integration means the waterfront promenade, the marina's restaurants, and the boutique shopping are all within a short walk. The marina's atmosphere shifts through the day: quiet and golden in the morning, social and animated by evening, when the superyachts light up and the waterfront fills.

Bodrum Peninsula The wider Peninsula rewards exploration. The ancient city of Bodrum, with its Castle of St Peter and the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, is within reach by car or the hotel's shuttle service. The Peninsula's coastline offers some of the clearest water in the eastern Aegean, and the villages of Türkbükü, Gündoğan, and Göltürkbükü each have their own character. The hotel's car rental assistance and shuttle service make day trips straightforward to arrange.

Golf The Bodrum Peninsula has a growing reputation as a golf destination, and the hotel's location gives easy access to the Peninsula's courses. Your Best at Travel consultant can arrange tee times and transfers as part of your itinerary.

Location

Yalikavak Marina Hotel by METT Collection sits in Yalıkavak, on the north-western tip of the Bodrum Peninsula, directly integrated into Yalıkavak Marina on Turkey's Aegean coast. The position is the hotel's single greatest practical advantage: you are not a taxi ride from the marina's energy, you are inside it.

Yalıkavak itself has evolved into one of the Bodrum Peninsula's most refined addresses. The marina draws superyachts from across the Mediterranean each summer, and the surrounding streets have a calm, unhurried quality that distinguishes the town from the busier resort centres further south on the Peninsula. The waterfront is lined with restaurants, boutiques, and cafés, all within easy walking distance of the hotel.

Bodrum's wider attractions, including the Castle of St Peter, the bazaar, and the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, are accessible by car or the hotel's shuttle service. The Peninsula's beaches and villages are best explored by car; the hotel's car rental assistance makes this straightforward to arrange.

Milas-Bodrum Airport serves the Peninsula, with the hotel providing complimentary airport transfers. Your Best at Travel consultant will confirm transfer arrangements and timings as part of your booking.

Best at Travel tip: Yalıkavak is at its most beautiful in the early morning, before the marina fills. If you are staying in one of the beachfront suites, set your alarm once and watch the light come up over the Aegean from your balcony. It is worth it.

Who It's For

This hotel is a natural choice for couples planning a milestone trip: an anniversary, a honeymoon, or a significant birthday where the setting and the service need to be genuinely exceptional. The boutique scale, the marina integration, and the AURA Beach dining experience make it a romantic escape of real distinction.

Families will find the hotel equally well considered. The Mundo Academy kids' club, the Teenager Zone, and the multi-bedroom villa categories mean the hotel works for parties of different ages and configurations. The two bedroom and three-bedroom villas, with their private pools, give families the space and privacy that a suite-only property cannot offer.

For guests drawn to spa and wellness, the combination of treatments, beauty services, the fitness centre, and the infinity pool creates a restorative programme that complements the beach-and-dining experience rather than competing with it.

A candid note on value: this is a premium property at a premium price point, and it makes no pretence otherwise. The guests who find it most rewarding are those who are specifically seeking boutique intimacy, a marina address, and a level of personalised service that a larger resort cannot replicate. If that describes your priorities, the hotel delivers on them consistently. Your Best at Travel consultant will help you identify the right rate plan and room category to ensure the stay reflects your expectations.

Best at Travel holiday types: Spa, Honeymoon, Family, Luxury.

Our consultants know this region in depth and can suggest alternatives at a similar level of luxury and intimacy, whether you are drawn to a different part of the Peninsula or considering a multi-centre itinerary combining Bodrum with another Turkish destination.

Room Types

Beachfront Junior Suite with King Size Bed

Step from your balcony and you are steps from the Aegean. This suite places you as close to the water as the hotel gets, with direct beach access, a king-size bed, and a balcony that looks directly over the shore. Refined coastal comfort in its most immediate form.

At 89 square metres, this is the hotel's most generous beachfront suite. Panoramic Aegean views stretch across the full width of the room, and the scale of the space gives the suite a quality closer to a private apartment than a hotel room. For couples who want to linger, this is the natural choice.

Poolfront Junior Suite with King Size Bed

If you prefer the pool to the beach as your morning horizon, this suite delivers it directly. A private terrace opens onto the water, and the king-size bed, mini-bar, and full suite amenities ensure the comfort level never drops. A quietly excellent option for those who like their days to begin at the pool.

Two twin beds, a private balcony, and panoramic Aegean views make this the most practical suite for two guests travelling together who want their own space. The balcony outlook is the suite's centrepiece: Yalıkavak Marina spreads below, and the sea stretches to the horizon.

2 Bedroom Panoramic Sea View Villa with Private Pool

At 175 square metres, with two bedrooms and a private pool, this villa is the natural choice for families or couples travelling with close friends. The panoramic sea views are present in every room, and the private pool means your mornings and evenings are entirely your own. Guests who have received this category as an upgrade describe it as "a beautiful two-bedroom villa with panoramic sea views."

The hotel's flagship accommodation: 305 square metres, three bedrooms, a private pool, and a yacht dock. This is a property within a property, offering a level of privacy and scale that few boutique hotels can match anywhere on the Bodrum Peninsula. For a milestone family gathering, a honeymoon party, or a group of friends who want the full marina experience, nothing else at the hotel comes close.

Best at Travel tip: If you are considering the 2 Bedroom Panoramic Sea View Villa or The Yalikavak Panoramic Villa, book early in the season. These categories fill quickly, and the villa with the yacht dock is genuinely one of a kind on the Peninsula. Your consultant can check live availability and discuss the Plan Ahead rate, which includes a room upgrade alongside early check-in and late check-out.

New Schengen entry requirements

The EES is a digital border system which registers non-EU visitors travelling into the Schengen area instead of stamping their passports.

You will need to have your fingerprints and your photo taken when entering the Schengen area. If you enter the Schengen area through Dover, Eurotunnel at Folkestone or St Pancras International, your fingerprints and photo will be taken before you leave the UK. You will also need to provide either your fingerprint or photo on exit.

You may experience longer queues at borders when the new system starts.
