MACAKIZI BODRUM

The Best Hotels in Bodrum, Turkey

"Though Bodrum’s smattering of luxe hotels undoubtedly do laid-back and relaxed better than most, those in search of an altogether more vibrant stay should set the Macakizi in their sights. The setting is low-key but beautiful, with just 64 rooms, unobtrusive casitas with greenery growing up around them, and bowers of pink bougainvillea framing views of the coast. Of course, it isn’t party all the time. Mornings here stretch past sunrise with solitary sea dips and a replenishing breakfast, though once noon strikes, the background beats kick up a notch. By evening, the indoor-outdoor terraces of the restaurants and bar thrum with a vibrant, all-ages crowd, eating seafood, drinking perfectly-frosted rosé, and setting the world to rights with people who, just mere hours ago, were total strangers."
