Where to stay in Bodrum?
Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses — updated as the selection changes.
Göltürkbükü
Best for High-end beach clubsLocated on the northern coast of the Bodrum Peninsula, this area is known for its sheltered bay, upscale dining, and quiet mandarin groves. It offers a more secluded atmosphere than the bustling southern resorts.
Torba
Best for Tranquil coastal retreatsA relaxed, pine-fringed bay on the northeastern shore of the peninsula, offering a calm coastal setting. It features shingle beaches and modern waterfront resorts while remaining within easy driving distance of Bodrum Town.
Bodrum Town & Asarlık
Best for Sightseeing and nightlifeThis area combines the historic centre of Bodrum, known for its castle and marina, with the nearby headland of Asarlık. It offers convenient access to local archaeological sites and lively dining spots.
Kaplankaya
Best for Secluded wellness retreatsSituated north of the main peninsula near Akbük, this isolated coastal enclave focuses on privacy and expansive natural surroundings. It is highly self-contained, catering to visitors seeking dedicated spa facilities and quiet beaches.
Areas to consider
Travellers wishing to frequently explore Bodrum's historic castle and old town should note that secluded resorts in Kaplankaya require lengthy road transfers or private boat shuttles to reach the main peninsula.

7 Recommended Hotels
The Marmara Bodrum - Adult Only
Bodrum, Turkey
Best overallWhy this position: Leads the ranking: a higher guest score than #2 (9.3 to 8.9).
The Marmara Bodrum - Adult Only is best for couples looking for a quiet, certified sustainable retreat overlooking the bay. Guests rate it very highly on Booking.com. It features panoramic views of Bodrum Bay, access to a private beach, and a hilltop setting. Though it offers an excellent breakfast, guests must navigate a steep walk down to town, and accessing the beach requires taking transport.
Susona Bodrum, LXR Hotels & Resorts
Bodrum, Turkey
Private poolWhy this position: Sits behind #1 on both the score (8.9 to 9.3) and the sample it rests on (122 to 714 reviews).
Susona Bodrum, LXR Hotels & Resorts is highly suited to travellers seeking low-rise modern design with private swimming options. The resort is well reviewed by guests. Guests can book suites and villas with private pools, walk along private wooden jetties over the Aegean, and experience locally sourced Aegean dining. A potential drawback is the steep hillside layout that requires buggy transport, as well as the hotel's distance from Bodrum's historic centre.
Why this position: Scores higher than #2 (9.2 to 8.9), on a smaller body of reviews (110 to 122).
Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum is best for beach lovers who want secluded, panoramic sea views from terraced hillside accommodations. Past guests score it very highly on Booking.com and Google alike. Guests gain private access to two sandy beaches and can relax in outdoor treatment cabanas at the comprehensive spa. Note that visitors will experience limited accessibility to Bodrum city centre, and the property operates with reduced services during the winter season.
Why this position: Scores higher than #3 (9.3 to 9.2), on a smaller body of reviews (97 to 110).
Maxx Royal Bodrum suits wellness enthusiasts looking for extensive pool options and high-quality local dining. Mornings feature a refined breakfast highlighting local flavours. However, travellers should note that the communal areas can get crowded during peak season, and the resort is located far from central Bodrum attractions.
Why this position: Highest guest score of the 7 hotels we rank here — 9.4 from 132 reviews. Guests on Booking rate it above #4 (9.4 to 9.3), but #4 leads on Google (4.7 to 4.6), which the ranking weighs equally.
Six Senses Kaplankaya is ideal for health-focused travellers who prioritise state-of-the-art spa facilities and remote coastal views. Booking.com guests rate it exceptionally well. The resort stands out for its extensive wellness facility, four distinct Mediterranean dining venues, and private balconies with coastal vistas. On the downside, the hotel is situated in an isolated location far from city hubs, and its sprawling hillside layout requires quite a bit of walking.
Why this position: Rests on more guest reviews than #5 (300 to 132), at a slightly lower score (9.0 to 9.4).
The Plaza Bodrum is tailored for holidaymakers who want a large beach footprint and traditional wellness amenities. Booking.com guests are especially generous in their praise. The resort features a large private beachfront on Torba Bay, three distinct indoor and outdoor pools, and a comprehensive spa with a traditional Turkish bath. Prospective guests should consider that the property is far from Bodrum's vibrant city centre, and beach loungers can get crowded during peak season.
Caresse, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Bodrum
Bodrum, Turkey
Why this position: Sits behind #6 on both the score (8.1 to 9.0) and the sample it rests on (89 to 300 reviews).
Caresse, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Bodrum is suited for travellers seeking on-site yacht adventures and thermal wellness. Highlights include curated yacht excursions, a private white-sand beach with a deck, and comprehensive thermal spa facilities. Be aware that the resort is located far from central Bodrum nightlife, and guests face high pricing during the peak season.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
