In just a half-hour drive, you’ll find yourself on the serene northern shores of the beautiful Bodrum Peninsula. Nestled in a vast olive grove and pine forest, BODRUM LOFT is a hidden gem. The minimalist architecture, surrounded by Aegean-style gardens filled with olive trees and bougainvillaea, perfectly complements the natural beauty of the area.
Designed by the talented Turkish architects, Tabanlıoğlu, the interiors boast a flawless minimalist style with all-white décor, natural wood doors, and polished concrete pebble floors. The simplicity is tastefully interrupted by hand-blown glass lamps and an abundance of large windows.
Forget about cars here; electric buggies (which you can call via your mobile phone) whisk you from your room to the beach platforms or restaurants. Each cubist-style guesthouse, cleverly tucked into the hillside, offers unobstructed sea views and the feel of an independent holiday home.
This summer, BODRUM LOFT is hosting the Persona exhibition, curated by Selcan Atican in collaboration with the Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery, running until 1 September. You’ll get to enjoy works by artists like Erwin Wurm, Tony Cragg, Tom Sachs, and Sylvie Fleury.
With its prime coastal location on the deep blue sea, the beach platforms are perfect for lounging on white deck chairs, soaking in the offshore breeze, and enjoying the attentive food and beverage service offering fresh fruit, iced coffee, or whatever your heart desires. You can also book a massage in the outdoor treatment room or a personal Pilates session on a reformer in the outdoor gym.
Everything is taken care of here in a subtle yet luxurious way. The top-notch concierge service and the three unique restaurants provide guests with a variety of delightful experiences.
Start your day at LOFT ELIA, where breakfast is served in a cool, relaxed urban atmosphere next to the hotel’s coffee shop. You can savor Turkish delicacies like çilbir (poached eggs in garlic yogurt sauce) or buckwheat bircher muesli. For lunch and dinner, head to PAPER MOON, an establishment that first made a name for itself in Istanbul under Milanese chef Giuseppe Pressani. The Italian-international menu attracts many visitors from outside. And for the best Fish and seafood head to TERS KÖŞE.
The overall ambiance is relaxed yet sophisticated, embodying the typical resort style for which Bodrum is famous.
The library next to the reception is a cozy spot to read a book by the fireplace on early summer nights. Each villa also has a communal area with its own kitchen and ironing facilities, making it easy to rent out as a larger house for family and friends.
Whether you’re looking for a high-season weekend getaway in summer or autumn, BODRUM LOFT offers individuality, a perfect waterfront location that isn’t too crowded, and stunning views from every room.
