Picture this: crisp white decor, lots of natural wood and stone, surrounded by lush olive trees and the scent of Mediterranean pines. Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Bodrum peninsula, the Amanruya is like a little slice of heaven with its relaxed zen vibe and minimalist style.
Located on the southeast coast of Turkey, with a fantastic view of the Aegean Sea, the hotel has an elegant, simple style reminiscent of the ancient Seljuks. Big windows are all over the place, and they've used loads of natural stuff in the building – it's like you're smack dabbed in the middle of nature. The buildings are all low-rise and stone-built, bringing out that traditional local vibe. The interior is designed to blend in with the surroundings – subtle earth tones make it a natural oasis of calm. Each room or suite also has its own pool, which is as blue as the sea in front of the door.
The food at Amanruya is a real treat. You can take your meals on the terraces surrounded by oleander bushes with the sea stretching out before you. If you're looking for something more relaxed, the beach club on the pebble beach is just the place for a cool drink or a quick bite.
Looking to relax? There's a cozy spa and a roomy yoga studio with loads of space to chill out. And although you're not far from the hustle and bustle of Bodrum, you feel like you're in your own little world.
This place's got a real, exclusive feel, featuring 34 private pavilions, and yep, each comes with its own pool. There's a heap of fun activities on tap – think wine tasting, horseback riding, and snorkelling. And the private beach club? It's the perfect hangout for some downtime and socializing. In short, a stay at Amanruya is definitely one for the memory books.
