Just 58 rooms and suites make this boutique retreat an intimate seaside escape—each accommodation facing the water and featuring a private balcony or terrace, with many offering private or shared pools. Interiors showcase OKU’s signature boho‑chic minimalism: earth‑toned linens, natural materials, and clean, contemporary lines that create a calm, sophisticated atmosphere. A curated art program by Turkey’s leading art curator, Begüm Güney, fills the public spaces with original artworks and sculptural installations, each chosen to reinforce the hotel’s grounded, meditative aesthetic and deep connection to the surrounding landscape.

Beyond lazy afternoons by the pool, DJ sets, paddle-boarding from the jetty, or snorkeling the bay, OKU Bodrum curates distinctive experiences rooted in local landscape and culture. Hands-on garden-to-glass workshops send guests into the hotel’s herb gardens and nearby hills to forage botanicals for bespoke elixirs. Guided hikes reveal hidden coastal trails and panoramic views, while visits to traditional weaving studios connect visitors with centuries-old craftsmanship.
When exploration winds down, the impeccably designed OKU Spa provides a restorative retreat. Spa offerings span diverse wellness rituals and feature a classic hammam, a sauna, a sea-view fitness studio, tranquil relaxation lounges, and open-air seafront treatment cabanas for therapies against the sound of the waves.
