Maçakızı is as much a culinary destination as it is a hotel. Chef Aret Sahakyan’s menus reflect his passion for blending Turkish and Mediterranean flavors and cooking techniques, using only the finest local ingredients and olive oils. Enjoy a casual buffet breakfast overlooking the morning sun dappling the sea, then heed the call of our traditional bell rung every lunch since 1977, sip a cocktail at the beach bar - the hottest spot in Bodrum - before enjoying the finest gourmet dining experience in the Aegean, if not all of Turkey.

Maçakızı’s holistic well-being experience includes a fully equipped fitness center with a private trainer, yoga instruction, outdoor Pilates overlooking the bay, and a spa with a sauna, steam room and modern glass-fronted Turkish Bath or ‘hamam’ where you can experience traditional Turkish cleansing and massage. Our soothing aromatherapy massages and facials can be enjoyed outdoors in our treatment tents, or in the privacy of your room.

Maçakızı’s wooden decks offer the most luxurious and elite venue for sunbathing, swimming and socializing in the entire Aegean. We invite you to bask in the warm sun down by the sea, read in a shaded private terrace, order a cold beer at the bar, or enjoy a delicious salad or Panini from our chef Aret Sahakyan’s creative daytime menu. Whatever you decide to do, our job is to make your life easy.

From intimate, exquisite weddings to official corporate functions and extravagant, indulgent parties, Maçakızı promises to turn every special occasion into an unforgettable event.
