Grand Yazici Bodrum

Grand Yazici Bodrum details

Spectacular views, five swimming pools and stylish interiors - this new hotel oozes boutique luxury

From its hillside perch, the Grand Yazici serves up breathtaking views over Bodrum harbour and its castle. And the property certainly makes the most of its outlook. Take the main pool, for starters. It's an infinity number, which means you can admire the views while you're swimming. Plus, it's surrounded by daybeds and wicker sunloungers, so you can soak up the panoramas while you're sunbathing. You'll find three other pools here as well - two in the gardens and one indoors.

Looks-wise, this place is all about designer interiors. The lobby kicks things off, teaming white marble luxury sofas and aqua-blue cushions. And the space-age vibe extends to the rooms. They're decked out in wall-to-wall white with funky blue and violet trimmings, and come with extras like LCDTVs and minibars. Deluxe and Grand Deluxe rooms have French balconies overlooking the pools or garden.

Elsewhere, there's a Zen-like spa. A cut above the usual, the spa features a well-equipped gym, saunas and tiled hammams where Turkish baths are the order of the day.

As for the food, buffet breakfasts are served in the Limon restaurant and combine cooked-to-order omlettes and pancakes with the full continental works. Then there's the Peninsula, where you can sit down to gourmet seasonal dishes at dinner. Lastly, you've got the pool bar. Centred around a chic while counter standing on an elevated deck, it's the perfect venue for drinks. By day, you can see Kos island on the horizon. And by night you'll be treated to spectacular views of the floodlit castle below.
