Near Bodrum's crescent-shaped Bardaçi Beach, the hotel is surrounded by the summer mansions of Turkey's elite (a former prime minister is among them). Its five suites are a mix of rustic textiles, antiques, and indigenous touches (including whisper-light, locally made cotton sheets). Privacy is key, whether on the candlelit garden patios in the evening or in the rooms (all ingeniously constructed so none share walls) or on the patios, many of which give Cinemascope-worthy views of the Aegean and the Greek island of Kos.
