"Arriving here begins with a ritual (an evil-eye bracelet and intention-setting) that sets a slowed-down tone for a property nested on Aegean hillsides of cypress and wild olive; the nearly 108,000-square-foot spa offers hammam rituals (sea salt and olive oil scrubs), a Finnish sauna, crystal steam room, hydrotherapy pools, a salt grotto, and an icy igloo, and guests can also explore nearby Ephesus." - CNT Editors

"When you arrive at this Turkish outpost of the respected wellness brand, you’re greeted with a ritual: You’ll be handed an evil eye bracelet—part of a tradition tracing back 5,000 years—and asked to close your eyes and set an intention for your stay. Think of it as a reset button. Now you’re on this place’s slowed-down wavelength. Across the bay from party-central Bodrum, this stretch of the Aegean coastline is all about reconnecting with nature, on hillsides dotted with cypresses and wild olives. When you’re not kayaking in the turquoise waters or strolling along the rocky coast, the aromas of that landscape make their way into the nearly 108,000-square-foot spa where, for instance, your hammam experience might include a sea salt and olive oil scrub. As part of your stay, you’ll also have access to a Finnish sauna, a crystal steam room, hydrotherapy pools, a salt grotto, and even an icy igloo, meant to stimulate circulation and oxygen intake. Equally stimulating? A visit to nearby Ephesus to walk among its Classical Greek ruins."

"Like the Six Senses Douro Valley, the Six Senses Kaplankaya features something the original Six Senses Resorts weren’t particularly known for — a main building." - Mitchell Friedman

"On the Bodrum Peninsula, a low‑slung main building holds 75 rooms and suites while 66 villas ring the ridgeline, all oriented to sweeping Aegean Sea views. Days can be as exploratory as a private cruise to Greek islands or excursions to archaeological sites like ancient Halicarnassus, or as simple as choosing among four restaurants and bars. Six Senses’ organic farms and gardens supply much of the produce, with surrounding vineyards and farms providing the rest, and a sustainability project helps local makers certify organic cheeses, breads, and yogurts to boost value and eventually bring those products to guests." - Mitchell Friedman
"An hour north of Bodrum, the sparkling new Six Senses Kaplankaya is tucked into an inlet framed by cypress trees and bursts of bougainvillea." - Travel + Leisure Editors
