The Marmara Bodrum sits on the hill at Yokuşbaşı above the harbour in central Bodrum, which gives it bay views and a calm setting that is still close to everything. It is a 5-star, adults-only property with 97 individually furnished rooms, 24-hour room service, pillow menus and rainfall showers or soaking tubs, and it is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. There are two outdoor pools with loungers and umbrellas, a spa with sauna and Turkish bath, a health club, tennis and bike rental, and the Tuti restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with sea views, plus a poolside bar and coffee shop.
Location is the draw. Bodrum Marina, the beach, Bar Street and the castle are all nearby, so you can walk down from the hill for dinner or a stroll through the old town and take a short taxi back up. The Mausoleum site and the ancient theatre are a short ride away, and the Bodrum Castle is the natural first outing from the front door. Check with the hotel about the walk back uphill if you have mobility concerns.
Rooms and style
The 97 rooms are individually furnished with premium bedding and laptop-friendly workspaces, and many have sea views. Suites, such as the Dolce Vita Suite, add space and terraces. The adults-only policy means guests must be at least 13, with a minimum check-in age of 19, so the atmosphere is quiet and suited to couples and friends rather than families. Cribs are not available.
Good to know
Breakfast is a buffet with a surcharge unless your rate includes it, parking is free for self-parking and valet, there is an electric car charging station and a paid airport shuttle, and pets are accepted for a fee. Beach club and outdoor pool service is a warm-season feature, while the spa and indoor facilities suit cooler months, so confirm which facilities are running for your dates. Rates are at the top of the town's range, rising in summer and falling in winter.
