Oku Bodrum

Style

Convivial cliffhanger

Setting

Bodrum peninsular perch

Bank on alluring Aegean charm and view-framing suites at Oku Bodrum, an over-16s-only hotel with its own private beach and jetty. Days at this soon-to-open coastal retreat are set to lean into Oku’s trademark easygoing ethos, with morning yoga, hammam rituals in the spa, and an emphasis on downtime by the pool or at the beach. Dangle toes from the jetty and watch the fishing boats putter shorewards, their fresh catch destined for umami makeovers in the resort’s intimate dining spots.

Our Favourite Rooms

We’ve yet to sample the delights of Oku Bodrum’s rooms and suites, but you can expect that they’ll follow the group’s signature polished-boho aesthetic. All come with terraces or balconies that frame cinematic shots of the rocky cove and big blue beyond. But the smart money’s on the Deluxe Suite with Private Pool, where a freestanding sea-view bath tub and dipping spot alfresco plunge you into the scenery.

Poolside

Join the style-conscious sunseekers sporting designer swimwear and make for poolside cabanas and loungers with tiki-style parasols. The pool is open from 10am-6pm daily.

Spa

Pummelling perfection awaits at Oku Bodrum's spa, which sits right at the top of the resort, and will have two treatment rooms (including one for couples), plus a sauna, hammam and relaxation area.

Packing Tips

Bring your swimwear A-game for Vogue-grade selfies on the resort’s wooden jetty, plus a guilt-free approach to sun-kissed idling.

Also

The state-of-the-art gym will be kitted out with smart wooden equipment. Early risers can join morning yoga classes out on the terrace where sunrise sea views are to plank for.

Children

This one’s for the grown-ups, so ages 16 and over only.

Food & Drink

Top Table

The amphitheatre-style Round Bar may well have the edge for sunset Aegean views, but we’re reluctant to call it until both dining spots have opened.

Dress Code

Poolside cover-ups are fine for To Kima; opt for light, breeze threads at Teyo, dressed up with statement jewellery.

Hotel Restaurant

Hotel restaurant Oku is poised to open its signature To Kima and Teyo restaurants at Oku Bodrum this summer, following the success of their namesake eateries at outposts in Ibiza and Kos. Poolside To Kima is the resort’s all-day spot, serving Turkish and Med fusion dishes including locally caught grilled fish and seafood, plus poke bowls, tossed salads and more. Dinner-only Teyo is your go-to for creative Japanese fine dining in an alfresco setting edged with tropical and Asian-inspired planting.

Hotel Bar

The Round Bar hovers above the jetty, overlooking the cove, with amphitheatre-style terraces that amplify spectacular sunset views. Craft cocktails and meze snacks are on the cards for both pre- and post-dinner rendez-vous.

Last Orders

Breakfast is served from 7.30am; Teyo opens at 7pm, and last orders for dinner at both dining spots are at 10.30pm; the Round Bar remains open long after sunset. Both restaurants are open seven days a week.

Room Service

You can expect a dedicated menu that’ll allow you to order food to your room around the clock.

Planes

Milas-Bodrum Airport is an hour’s drive from the hotel. Transfers can be arranged from €210 each way.

Automobiles

If your agenda is largely fly-and-flop, you won’t need a set of wheels. But for keen drivers, top-down cruises around the peninsula’s hairpin bends and the gin-clear lagoons of the Turquoise Coast are among the region’s most memorable drives. There’s free valet parking at the hotel.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Commandeer a day-bed on the private jetty and settle in for downtime without a deadline — losing yourself to people-watching while affecting interest in your Bodrum travel guide.

Oku Bodrum’s jetty is also the jumping-off point for boating day trips around the peninsula. Set sail for the lush olive groves and pine-clad hills of Salih Ada or head south to the famous turquoise lagoons along the Turkish Riviera. Traditional north-coast fishing villages like Yalıkavak and Gümüşlük are also worth a look, the former for its butterfly-like transformation into luxury marina and fine-dining destination fit for the yachting set; the latter for petite pebble beaches, family-run fish restaurants and old-school sunloungers.

Bodrum town is a shangri-la for history lovers and aspiring photographers alike. Its old quarter is sweetened with sugar-cube houses, hot-pink bougainvillea, and a bazaar hawking everything from traditional Turkish rugs to splendidly sticky baklava. Add Bodrum Castle to your agenda; this imposing mediaeval fortification overlooks the harbour and is home to a museum of recovered Aegean shipwrecks.
