Bulgari Hotels & Resorts has announced plans for a new address in Bodrum, Türkiye, on the coast of Türkbükü – Gölköy. The company, which is part of the Marriott group, is already present in multiple locations around the world, including Milan, London, Dubai, Bali, Beijing, Shanghai, Paris, Tokyo and Rome, while Ranfushi and Miami Beach will open in 2025 and 2026 respectively. The Bodrum location is therefore the 12th addition to the list and is set to open its doors in 2026.
“In recent years, Bodrum and the coastal area of Türkbükü-Gölköy have established themselves as glamorous destinations par excellence in the Mediterranean area, attracting the most prestigious and sophisticated clientele who come to the region on their yachts or who like to stay in resorts”, said Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bulgari. “We are thrilled to present such an extraordinary project that will become not only the first Bulgari Resort in the Mediterranean Sea, but also the new point of reference for the community of discerning travellers who already know and appreciate the other hospitality gems of the Bulgari Hotels & Resorts collection”.
As far as the plans for the resort go, the Bodrum Bulgari Hotel is scheduled to comprise 84 rooms and suites, scattered around a total of 10 hectares of terraced gardens, which themselves are set on a 60-hectare private peninsula. A Bulgari spa, an outdoor swimming pool, a gym, a private beach and even a handful of seafront luxury shops are just some of the amenities on site. Aside from the hotel, the resort will also boast a residential community made up of 100 Bulgari mansions.
The entire complex will be designed by the Milanese architecture studio ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. They have been tasked to design the resort in a way that not oly fits the Bulgari aesthetic, but that is also as sustainable as possible.
“For the Bulgari Resort Bodrum, we thought of a contemporary use of materials, with chromatic evocations and some valuables who take it upon themselves to tell this long history of civilization, while the sense of belonging arises from the care of the dialogue between architecture and landscape and from the privilege of the extraordinary view that the project offers on the surrounding nature”, architect Patricia Viel explained.
