MACAKIZI

Located on the opposite side of the peninsula to Bodrum, Hotel Macakizi is a boutique gem where boho chic flows through its 53 stunning rooms and 21 spacious suites, and breathtaking views impress at every turn. Macakizi's renowned chef conjures tastes to suit every palate, from traditional Turkish dishes with a twist by day and delicious Mediterranean fusion food by night in the atmospheric restaurant.

The small, secluded coastal town of Golturkbuku promises turquoise waters, hip dining spots, cool bars and sophisticated nightlife. By day, guests can sunbathe on the waterfront terrace with direct access to the Aegean or relax in Macakizi’s luxury spa and Turkish hammam. Yoga lovers can join group classes or enjoy some one-on-one tuition. As evening approaches, the hotel bar - a popular haunt for yachting types and weekenders from Istanbul - comes alive with revelries continuing late into the night, and DJs employed to provide the soundtrack to the summer. Those seeking an early night can retreat up the hill to the relative tranquility of their suite.
