The Bodrum EDITION

What I liked: Everything!!! I’m honestly obsessed with EDITION and this hotel. The location is stunning, the rooms are beautiful and insanely comfortable. Waking up to that view made it really hard to leave the bed (or the balcony). The staff is great, everyone is warm and genuinely kind without being too much. P.S. Definitely try the Sup yoga sessions it is a must! And hands down, the food at Michelin Kitchen is to die for. I’d 100% go back.

We picked this for our 2nd anniversary and it did not disappoint. The staff were amazing. Zula’s burger is a must-order, honestly one of the best we’ve had.
The hamam treatment was the perfect reset, exactly what we needed. Also, having LeLabo products in the room is such a huge plus. Location is great too.. super close to the marina and all the shopping but somehow still feels private.

I am posting this review to describe my frankly extremely poor experience with The Bodrum EDITION, and in particular its reservations and guest services team, so that others — particularly those planning milestone trips — can make an informed decision. In October, I booked a stay at The Bodrum EDITION for May 2026 for my honeymoon. The reservation was made through Marriott, availability was shown as open, and the booking was fully confirmed. We planned our honeymoon itinerary around this stay and booked additional hotels and excursions accordingly. Months later, the hotel informed us that our confirmed reservation would not be honored because the entire property had been booked out for a private event from May 14–17, 2026. The hotel later confirmed in writing that our reservation predated the finalization of this private event. So, the hotel chose to cancel confirmed guest reservations in favor of a full-property buyout that occurred after bookings had already been accepted. As a result, we were effectively removed from the hotel for the core dates of our honeymoon. Because this stay was central to our plans, the cancellation ended up having effects across our itinerary and ultimately forced us to change our entire honeymoon — including the country in which it is taking place. I cannot describe the interactions that followed with The Bodrum EDITION team as anything but a complete service failure: • ⁠The initial “solutions” they offered were to change our dates, cancel our stay, or move to their non-comparable sister property (the Caresse — look up the reviews on here). None of these addressed the reality of us having to cancel and replan a fixed honeymoon tied to a wedding. • ⁠The hotel and the staff with whom I interacted demonstrated no appreciation for the reliance we placed on Marriott, timing, or the significance of the trip, other than essentially just saying “sorry.” • ⁠We ended up receiving a 90k Bonvoy points as compensation and a USD 200 hotel credit. To give you an idea, the cheapest night (in points) for the dates the private party booked out cost 107,000 points. So we didn’t even get enough points to cover a single night. I get that the hotel might have a ceiling on what they can offer, but it’s laughable that this was the comp we were offered. • ⁠The hotel requested “preferred payment account details” by email to issue the small hotel credit, without explaining what that meant (do they expect me to provide my bank account or credit card details via email???). Frankly, an astonishing request from a supposed five-star property that shows no common sense or problem solving ability by staff. The hotel staff also forgot about the 90,000 point bonus until I reminded them about it, so that wasn’t delivered without repeated follow up. I separately reached out to Marriott Corporate and they issued an apology, along with an additional 40,000 points, which I acknowledge. But by that point, our honeymoon plans were already out the window. Hotels are businesses, and I appreciate that private buyouts can occur, and it would make no sense for a hotel to turn that down in certain circumstances. The key issue, to me, is that The Bodrum EDITION accepted and confirmed my reservation (and I assume those by others), allowed guests to rely on them for once-in-a-lifetime travel, and then unilaterally canceled those reservations when a more lucrative opportunity arose without offering meaningful remediation. Additionally — and I cannot emphasize this point enough — the communication and problem solving ability of the EDITION’s reservations and guest services staff (going up to Director level) was unbelievably poor. Like, no critical thinking, problem solving, or emotional intelligence. And all of their emails were clearly AI-generated, so it didn’t even feel like I was interacting with humans. I would not expect proactive, thoughtful, or guest-focused service here. I would strongly encourage travelers seeking reliability and discretion to look elsewhere.

The Edition Bodrum is by far one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at — and definitely the best Edition property! Everything was flawless from start to finish. The room was absolutely beautiful, and housekeeping kept it looking immaculate every day. The longevity clinic is such a unique and thoughtful touch, with incredible offerings you won’t find anywhere else. The views are breathtaking, the restaurant is outstanding, and the beach is perfection. But what truly sets this hotel apart is the staff — every single person goes above and beyond, and they are so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. There isn’t a single thing I would change. A truly unforgettable stay!

We visited the beach club for the day. İt was really lovely 100 euros per person plus 13% service charge. The good news is that the payment was consumable and the prices are such that it's very easy to spend the €100 per person. They open the beach for public guests at 11:30 a.m. until 5:00 pm, so by the time you get access most of the best seats are taken my hotel guests. However there are plenty of and unlike some other clubs the umbrellas are movable so you can remain in the Sun or in the shade as you prefer most of the day. İn some of the other clubs in Bodrum you are forced to bake because the umbrellas won't adjust. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious. Most of the staff speaks several languages or at least English which is very helpful. 100 euro per person is standard for most of the high-end beach clubs in the area, so this is one of the best on offer. Note that they close down by the end of October until next summer season.

The Bodrum Edition delivers exactly what the brand promises: understated luxury, flawless design, and impeccable service. From the start, the welcome sets the tone—ice cream upon arrival, a smooth sit-down check-in, and a complimentary upgrade that immediately raises expectations.||Rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and offer stunning views of the Aegean. The gym is impressive, fully equipped with state-of-the-art machines, including a Pilates reformer—because apparently, even on vacation, some people still have discipline.||Service is top-tier. There were a few minor hiccups, but each was handled promptly and professionally, which speaks volumes. The two-Michelin-star restaurant is an absolute standout, rivaled only by the pristine private beach and the hotel’s expansive, modern architecture.||The concierge is sharp, the in-house boutiques are well curated, and everything feels effortlessly elevated. True to the Edition ethos, it’s luxury without pretension. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience. Loved the aesthetic and vibe of the Bodrum Edition. Excellent service without being pretentious. The team was very professional but also easy-going and approachable. I'd like to make special mention of these OUTSTANDING team members, Efe & Regina as well as Dogus in concierge, Aaron at breakfast, and Besa at the beach! They are what made our stay so fantastic. This great team, combined with the beautiful and consistent aesthetic throughout the property, made for a luxurious vacation. Thank you!

Had the perfect time here, I highly reccomend. 10/10 facilities, amazing food, staff were so accommodating, attentive, kind and helpful. They really went above & beyond to make our stay extra special - so warm & friendly. Cannot thank you enough! Extra thanks to the FOH manager Sibel who was amazing. Will be returning asap and told all my family & friends about it! Thank you.

so much to say....will update this with many details and photos soon. F&B manager of the Beach restaurant was a highlight. Great service. She is a natural and Edition is lucky to have her. Fun ambience overall. However mid Sept and two of the restaurants were closed for the season. Kitchen restaurant needs more vegan options. The service is excellent. Clean lines. It is the number one Edition for a good reason. Lovely breakfast. Love the gluten free vegan little cookies. Again so much more when i update this review...

The Edition is a bit far from Bodrum center but decently close to the Yalikavak marina where there are tons of restaurants and luxury stores. At check-in, we were welcomed with a selection of ice creams. The resort is gorgeous with abundant amenities including a pilates reformer machine in the gym and a climbing wall, Himalayan rock room in the spa, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, etc. Rooms are spacious and feature le labo products. My only two gripes for the room: We could not figure out how to adjust the temperature and the bathroom did not have light dimmers so it was pretty bright. They have a few onsite restaurants that we enjoyed including the Kitchen, Brava, and Morena (Inari). Note that Brava is apparently more formal and they request closed toe shoes. They should put this information on the website as a requirement as we were not notified until arrival (and our concierge that booked it did not mention it either).

Staying at Edition feels like you truly can shut off from the word and decompress. The breakfast alone is fantastic spread of every imaginable option. More like brunch and will keep you full for the beach and infinity pool. There is very little that the staff won't do to keep you happy. Down to putting your water on ice. The rooms are spectacular with le labo products , free standing tubs, and even built in steam room. Location is a bit remote from Bodrum center in Yalikavak but there are plenty options by taxi should you want to go into town, see the marina, shop the bazaar or grab dinner. If you're itching for activities this might be too laid back of a place but otherwise relax and enjoy yourself

This beautiful hotel sits on the Turkish Rivière. The moment you step on the property you feel like you are in a different world. The ambiance, service and most importantly the breath taking view. Food was excellent from their breakfast to dinner. Everything was to a perfection. I will be returning again.

Staying at this place just makes life feel balanced. It's a bit of a drive but the area is so beautiful and everyone is so nice that the distance is easily forgettable. The food is amazing, the pool is amazing, the beach is amazing, the rooms are absolutely perfect. Stayed here twice with my family and they were so welcoming. Once I get a break, this is the first place I want to go to.
