Maçakızı in Bodrum is a must-visit for Istanbul’s elite, often called the “Turkish Marbella Club.” This chic hotel is where you might spot celebrities like Kate Moss or Mick Jagger lounging on its famous wooden deck by the Aegean Sea. Nestled in the stunning Türkbükü Bay, known as the “Turkish St. Tropez,” Maçakızı is surrounded by luxury yachts each summer. Despite the rise of global hotel chains, Maçakızı maintains its independent spirit, offering rooms hidden among lush bougainvillea, magnolias, and oleanders. Recently, the resort launched the MedBodrum festival, promising to become one of the Mediterranean’s most exciting culinary and artistic events. The acclaimed restaurant has earned a Michelin star, and now it introduces a new dining space over the sea. The latest addition, Villa Maçakızı in nearby Paradise Bay, impresses with its extraordinary garden, art collection, and top-tier services, including a team of 20 staff, an infinity pool, and a spa
