Amanruya – Bodrum Peninsula: Turkey’s Aegean Dream Retreat
Amanruya – Bodrum Peninsula: Framed by olive groves and kissed by the turquoise Aegean, Amanruya invites guests into a serene departure point for those seeking discreet luxury. The resort’s design, by Emine and Mehmet Ogun in the spirit of the late Turgut Cansever, echoes the simplicity of an Ottoman village. Each pavilion is placed purposefully to ensure privacy, with winding stone paths and lush gardens connecting common areas and dining pavilions without ever touching the public eye. All accommodations open to private pools and pergola-shaded terraces, blending indoor comfort and outdoor ease in a way that is quietly definitive.

The Ultimate Escape in Bodrum
Set on the quiet northern coast of the Bodrum Peninsula, Amanruya occupies a full kilometre of private pebble beach, framed by olive and pine forests. Within this lush natural canvas sits a 50‑metre infinity pool, lined in pale turquoise marble. The beauty of isolation unfolds gradually—guests arrive without fanfare, settle into spacious stone-clad pavilions with marble bathrooms, hand-woven kilims, and charcoal fireplaces, and feel transported from the moment they cross the threshold.
Signature Experiences at Amanruya
Wellness flows through every moment at the spa, located steps from the pool and shaded by pine boughs. Treatments draw on Turkish traditions: rhassoul clay, sea salt scrubs, mud wraps, and invigorating foot reflexology. The Yoga Pavilion offers dawn-to-sunset stretches overlooking the bay. Dining at Amanruya is refined yet rooted in seasonality. The Anatolian Dining Pavilion showcases Turkish-Aegean flavour with elegance, while sushi at the Beach Club, alfresco mezze and evening mezcal-infused tasting events by candlelight create memorable culinary discovery. A dedicated sommelier curates wine-and-olive tastings at the estate’s small vineyard estate nearby.
Exploring the Surroundings
Amanruya’s location makes it an ideal base for exploring Turkey’s classical coast. Within short driving distances are the mapped remnants of Ephesus, Miletus, Didyma and Priene. Guests may charter a gulet from the private jetty for a day on the sea, or sail to quiet coves and nearby Greek isles. At dusk, guests walk paths among olive groves to reach a small pebble beach with floating dock, where paddle-boarding, kayaking and sunset lounging remain refreshingly undisturbed.
Your Private Gateway to Aman
Amanruya is most gracefully experienced via private booking channels, assuring bespoke itineraries, added perks and silent arrival.
