Located on a unique 350 metre wide waterfront site, occupying an area of just over 100,000m2, and overlooking beautiful Torba Bay, The Bodrum by Paramount Hotels & Resorts is preparing to open.

The property, set to debut on May 6th, will offer guests a unique, pure, elevated, glamorous and Californian inspired experience, in a natural setting of overlapping hues of blue and green.

The luxurious resort, surrounded by the pine forests, where life is intertwined with the matchless beauty of nature, is 25 kilometres away from the Milas-Bodrum Airport and only a ten minute drive to the bustling heart of Bodrum, and the resort also allows for private docking of yachts.

The Bodrum by Paramount Hotels & Resorts offers 134 luxuriously and elegantly appointed suites and villas, all set in lush landscaping with unparalleled panoramic views of the Aegean Sea.

The suites have terraces or balconies and benefit from two semi private pools.

Most of the villas, with sizes ranging between 195-900m2, have their own indoor and outdoor pools with large decks, providing full privacy, as well as Turkish hammam and massage room.

Suites and villas incorporate state of the art audio-visual equipment, including Apple TV, and complimentary Wi-Fi is provided throughout the resort.

Guests can enjoy dining at four specialty restaurants, including Italian, Asian Fusion and Lebanese cuisines, all with menus drawing inspiration from the California lifestyle with a farm to table concept with locally sourced fresh ingredients, offering healthy options.

In addition, the resort offers lounges including an expansive outdoor shisha lounge and bars with entertainment including resident DJ and regular live band performances.

Guests can relax on the decks adjacent to the large salt water and fresh water swimming pools, and recharge with well-crafted cocktails and light bites from morning to night or enjoy the privacy and services of one of the 30 private overwater cabanas with personal bar and audio/visual facility.

Thomas van Vliet, chief executive, Paramount Hotels & Resorts, said: “Most people remember the Paramount Pictures mountain surrounded by 22 stars from the iconic films they have seen.

“Our goal is to carry the creative power and the inspiring concept of entertainment of the 104-year-old Paramount Pictures brand into our hotels and resorts.

“The Bodrum by Paramount Hotels & Resorts will be the premiere of the Paramount Hotels & Resorts brand in the world, and I am very excited about achieving this significant milestone in the history of our company.”
