4reasons hotel+bistro

The 4reasons hotel+bistro is perched on the hillside near Yalikavak, a charming village on the western side of the Bodrum Peninsula.

There are 20 rooms at the hotel, with four different styles to choose from. They all have light, airy and elegantly-designed interiors and whitewashed walls, and some rooms adjoin, making them ideal for families (the hotel accepts children over the age of 12). Meanwhile, the private terraces and balconies are perfect for relaxing on and taking in the views over the hillside and the sea.

At the hotel restaurant, bistro4, the chef whips up classic Aegean and Turkish mezzes and hearty dishes made from fresh seafood, meat and seasonal vegetables plucked from the hotel’s own garden. In the morning, breakfast is served on the terrace with a view of the bay, and in the evening you’ll be sipping cocktails at the bar as you watch the stunning sunsets over the Aegean.

Indulge with a massage in the leafy gardens or enjoy an outdoor yoga or Pilates class.

When you’re not lounging by the pool or enjoying an al fresco massage, head further afield. There’s much to explore in the region: take in the local culture at the farmers’ market in Yalikavak, wander through the deserted, 600-year-old village of Sandima, or explore the nearby Greek islands by yacht.
