Amanruya – Bodrum Peninsula: Turkey’s Tranquil Aegean Escape

Amanruya – Bodrum Peninsula: Tucked within olive groves and overlooking the glistening Aegean Sea, Amanruya offers a rare combination of understated opulence and unspoiled natural beauty. Designed by Emine and Mehmet Ogun in homage to the minimalist philosophy of Turgut Cansever, this serene retreat draws inspiration from the timeless charm of Ottoman villages. Private stone pathways meander through lush gardens, connecting guests to quiet corners and open-air dining pavilions—all while maintaining a seamless sense of seclusion. Each freestanding villa-style pavilion opens onto a private pool and shaded terrace, designed for total privacy and peaceful indoor-outdoor living.

A Private Haven Along Bodrum’s Northern Shore

Set along a kilometer of secluded pebbled coastline, Amanruya sits on the peaceful northern edge of the Bodrum Peninsula, embraced by olive and pine trees. A stunning 50-meter infinity pool, clad in soft turquoise marble, mirrors the colors of the Aegean just beyond. Guests are welcomed with discreet elegance, settling into expansive pavilions finished in warm stone, rich textiles, and marble-accented interiors. Every element of the space—from the charcoal fireplaces to the hand-woven kilims—feels purposefully curated to evoke a deep sense of place and tranquility.

A Celebration of Wellness and Turkish Heritage

Wellness at Amanruya is both immersive and restorative. The intimate spa is nestled beneath fragrant pine trees, where guests enjoy treatments rooted in Anatolian tradition—mud wraps, sea salt exfoliation, and herbal clay therapies. The Yoga Pavilion invites moments of mindfulness throughout the day with sweeping views over the bay.

Culinary offerings are equally transportive. The Anatolian Dining Pavilion blends Turkish and Aegean flavors with finesse, while the Beach Club serves fresh sushi in a breezy, laid-back setting. Mezze platters at sunset and mezcal-inspired tastings by candlelight transform each meal into an experience. For oenophiles, a private vineyard on the estate sets the stage for curated wine and olive oil pairings led by Amanruya’s expert sommelier.

Explore Ancient Shores and Hidden Bays

Amanruya offers more than stillness—it is a gateway to coastal discovery. Guests can explore ancient wonders like Ephesus and Priene or charter a private gulet from the resort’s own jetty for a day of sailing to untouched bays or neighboring Greek islands. Evening strolls lead to a secluded beach and floating dock, where paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply watching the sun dip into the sea offers a perfect close to the day.
