Amanruya in Turkey. Nestled among the lush pine forests and olive groves of the Bodrum Peninsula, facing the deep blue Aegean Sea, it offers a peaceful coexistence with nature.
The hotel boasts a private 3-kilometer coastline, surrounded by century-old pine trees, with a soft white sandy beach just a 5-minute walk away.
The rooms are typical Ottoman-style stone houses, featuring high vaulted ceilings and wooden beams, with private courtyards and outdoor pools. The bathroom design is a favorite, with a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking olive trees, making you feel like you’re bathing in the forest. Waking up to sunlight, opening the window reveals your private pool and the Aegean Sea. Spend the afternoon soaking in the cliffside infinity pool, sipping iced lemonade while watching the sea. In the evening, enjoy freshly grilled seafood on the beach, paired with a delicious local white wine recommended by the sommelier. At night, the butler brings warm Turkish tea and handmade desserts.
Here, there are no crowds of social media check-ins, only pine trees, waves, and just the right amount of quiet. If you want a place to truly relax, Amanruya won’t disappoint.
