The Bodrum EDITION launched by Ian Schrager last year, in partnership with Marriott International, redefines the contemporary luxury hotel experience to bring a new energy to resort hotels in Turkey.  Schrager has created an innovative concept, showcasing sophisticated design credentials and a forward looking programme to conceive an Aegean utopia within the Yalikavak bay.

Born for the world stage, the hotel is a natural Amphitheatre acting as a venue for 21st century recreation, socializing, and networking with an unparalleled vista overlooking the azure waters of the Turkish Riviera. As the horseshoe-shaped grounds slope downward towards the beach and jetty with its private cabanas, the pathways and leisure areas are interspersed by the hotel’s 108 guest rooms, suites –  some of which feature the additional luxury of private plunge pools – in addition to a sublime four-bedroom private villa with large private pool and sauna.
