Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum
Discover the Mediterranean idyll at Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum. Located along Turkey’s sparkling Riviera on the aptly-named Paradise Bay, this bespoke 129-room hotel stands encircled by olive groves with two exclusive beaches and a watersports center that offers everything from scuba diving to Jet Skiing. Wave to the many passing yachts from your private cabana, take a dip in one of two pools, play tennis or join a Pilates class. The tri-level spa provides a host of nurturing treatments, including a special menu for men. Inspired dining options range from traditional Turkish fare to contemporary Japanese cuisine.
