The sprawling 60-acre hillside resort enjoys privacy along a stretch of the Aegean coast ... surrounded by gorgeous beaches and lush olive groves.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Secluded along Paradise Bay on the Bodrum Peninsula, the property sits a quiet twenty-minute drive north of Bodrum town.
The rooms
Warm wood paneling and woven leather headboards frame floor-to-ceiling sea views, with private plunge pools in select suites.
The spa and pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Tiered infinity pools cascade toward the bay, and spa treatment rooms open onto private sea-facing terraces.
The hammam and baths
A white marble Turkish hammam sits beneath a domed ceiling, beside wood-paneled saunas and an indoor vitality pool.
At the table
Waterfront decks host Cantonese dining at Hakkasan, Aegean seafood along the shore, and sunset cocktails at Mandarin Bar.
Most of the 109 guest rooms face the deep-blue Aegean Sea, which takes center stage thanks to massive walls of windows…
How it began
Opened in 2014, the resort was shaped into the hillside to protect centuries-old olive trees along Cennet Koyu.
“Each room allows easy access to the Aegean Sea with a sundeck, balcony or terrace; the suites even feature outdoor showers, private gardens and plunge pools.”
