The Kitchen (Breakfast/ Brunch)

The breakfast was at KITCHEN, a beautiful restaurant overlooking the crystal blue water, and is one of the best hotel breakfasts I ever experienced. I would come back here just for the breakfast.

The breakfast was la carte and included – a traditional Turkish spread ( breads, olives, cucumbers, dried fruits, jams, seasonal fruits, Turkish cheese, sausage and so much more), fresh juices, wellness shots, various drinks (coffee, teas, lattes), bagels, pancakes, French toast, yogurt bowls etc. — the entire experience was something to look forward to every morning. Also, everyone that served us were passionate, accommodating and so kind.

KITCHEN was just awarded a Michelin Star in the Guide’s first year in Bodrum, 2024. Well deserved for sure.

MORENA (Lunch)

Morena is a relaxed and casual beachside restaurant. You can order from their menu while lounging at the beach, at your room, or dine in. We ordered from Morena several times and loved everything. Here is everything we ordered:

truffle mushroom pizza
margarita pizza
dynamite shrimp
popcorn chicken
fish of the day
truffle fries
bean salsa and corn chips
Turkish pide
fresh juices
ice cream
