Adults-only coastal retreat
Adults-only coastal retreat
An intimate, child-free atmosphere gives the property the feel of a quiet private home on the Aegean.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its name is a bit of rare understatement in a region known for extravagant hotels. Casa Nonna Bodrum is smallish, at just 34 rooms and suites, but the experience is a luxurious one
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
İçmeler Bay sits secluded along the Aegean shoreline, while the bustle of central Bodrum is a short drive away.
The rooms
Every room looks out across the bay toward Karaada, and select suites add private pools on their terraces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Cabanas and daybeds border the freshwater pool, looking out across the water from the sun terrace.
The spa and gym
The traditional hamam has a heated marble slab, and the glass-roofed gym looks out over the water.
At the table
Candlelit tables line the seaside deck at dusk, serving Mediterranean dishes made with produce from the hotel's farm.
How it began
The name translates to Grandmother's House, honoring the Ersan family matriarch who lived on this bay for three generations.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
