When we talk about serenity, Amanruya should spring to mind. Amidst olive groves and cypress trees is a haven of stone-built pavilions, exceptional design and an infinity pool to call your own for a few days.
Whilst this charming spot in Torba is renowned for its seafood, what really steals the thunder is the location. Where else would you rather tuck into a bream or bass, than in a spot placed directly in front of the ocean?
The name may give it a way, but Lucca by the Sea is truly a seafront oasis. Whilst no trip here is complete without one or two Çanakkale Scallops (here they're soaked in a satsuma sauce), it's the cocktails at sunset that really steal the show.
Scorpios has carried the Mykonos beach club concept to Bodrum, distilling its high-design, barefoot luxury ethos onto the Turkish coast. The setting is beautiful: a private beach, extraordinary sunsets over the Aegean, and interiors carrying the brand's signature warmth throughout. The food programme is excellent; the music is carefully and very well curated. A very good addition to the Bodrum landscape.
You’ll most definitely have associated Scorpios with its Mykonos claim to fame – and the beach club-loving brand has now turned its sea eyes to Bodrum to distil its high-design, barefoot luxury ethos into one of the Turkish coastline’s sleekest stays. From twelve private-pool bungalows to the Beach House loungers and buzzing bar scene, every detail is calibrated for a smooth glide from sunrise to late-night dancing. Rooms are calm and contemporary – glass walls, outdoor tubs, soft linens – with breakfast delivered to your door and a 24-hour room service team just a WhatsApp away. Days stretch with sound baths and Vinyasa flows; nights kick off with DJ sets and dirty Martinis. Wellness and revelry co-exist: cold plunges and slow dinners, deep beats and deep breathing. Pack your best beachwear.
