BEST HOTELS IN TURKEY
From sprawling beachfront resorts to boutique city digs and palatial hideaways, there’s a stay for every occasion.
This hotel is actually a collection of villas on one of the most beautiful of Bodrum’s peninsulas and was opened in the 1970s as a hangout for writers and artists. Times have changed, as has Bodrum — these days Macakizi’s patrons include the supermodel Kate Moss and any number of sheikhs and oligarchs, who moor their yachts in the nearby marina. But the laid-back vibe remains, enhanced by its lush gardens, private beach and elegantly designed interiors. The hotel has its own speedboat, which you can rent for the day to take you to other parts of this lovely area.
