'Perched on the pristine shores of Yalikavak Bay, this sleek sanctuary marries Ian Schrager's legendary design prowess with Turkey's captivating Aegean coastline – where ancient Halicarnassus meets contemporary luxury.'
What's Special?
The hotel sits in Yalikavak, home to the ultra-luxe Palmarina – one of Europe's most exclusive superyacht marinas. The property features stunning infinity pools that seem to blend seamlessly with the turquoise Aegean Sea, while the nearby ancient city of Halicarnassus (modern Bodrum) was once home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a sunset dinner at the hotel's waterfront restaurant during the "meltem" season (June-September) when the cool northern winds create perfect sailing conditions and dramatic evening skies.
