Perched stunningly on the northern coast of the Bodrum peninsula, OKU Bodrum is set to open its doors in summer 2025 as a refined adults-only (16+) sanctuary in one of Europe’s premier destinations. Surrounded by the majestic Bodrum mountains on one side and the shimmering turquoise Aegean Sea on the other, this hotel offers breathtaking views that greet guests from the moment they arrive.
Located in a tranquil spot with direct access to a protected bay ideal for swimming, OKU Bodrum is perfectly situated for guests wishing to explore the peninsula both on land and by sea. The hotel features a private jetty allowing easy boat access for adventures to serene lagoons, nearby islands, or the vibrant local marinas, renowned for their exquisite restaurants and beach clubs.
This boutique property will house just 58 rooms and suites, all featuring stunning sea views, private terraces for sunset watching, and many with private pools. The accommodations, mostly suites, are thoughtfully designed with sustainable and local elements while reflecting OKU’s signature laidback aesthetic, enhanced by Turkish influences. Design features include local marble finishes, breezeways for natural ventilation, and walls made from reclaimed stone sourced from the original site. The interiors embody a boho-chic minimalism, adorned with earthy linens, natural materials, and contemporary lines.
Culinary experiences at OKU Bodrum feature three dining options, offering a variety of selections from casual local dishes to the hotel’s celebrated fusion cuisine. The signature Japanese fusion restaurant, OKU Restaurant, will boast an open-air layout that evokes the essence of a tropical and Japanese garden. Here, guests can indulge in fine dining fusion cuisine amidst a lively atmosphere, with a separate terrace available for intimate private dining events. Central to the hotel, the To Kima Restaurant will provide relaxed Mediterranean dishes with a creative twist, while the Sunset Bar, situated on the cove-side jetty, will serve an array of meze snacks and expertly crafted cocktails.
The OKU Spa will be an oasis for wellness, offering diverse ritual experiences featuring a hammam, sauna, relaxation area, and open-air treatment cabanas facing the sea. A fully equipped fitness studio will provide ocean views during workouts, complemented by an outdoor movement terrace. For those seeking rejuvenation through meditation, yoga, breathwork, and more, the hotel’s clifftop yoga shala will serve as a serene haven, offering a rich program of practices and healing sessions.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR OKU HOTELS
As part of its growth strategy, OKU Hotels will continue to expand its portfolio in the coming years, enhancing its adults-only offerings while also introducing a new family-friendly collection. Upcoming projects will extend beyond the Mediterranean, with CEO Piers Bradley expressing excitement about bringing their laidback luxury approach to a safari experience in South Africa and an island resort in the Indian Ocean. “Our expanding portfolio presents significant growth prospects, as we aim to create authentic experiences in remarkable locations that resonate with our discerning guests,” he stated.
