Doria Hotel Bodrum ★★★★★

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” - Walt Disney

A hazy scene slowly sharpens…you’re sitting on a private balcony, pleasantly full from your delicious breakfast, included by VeryChic. Behind you is a simply elegant hotel room, tastefully decorated with the bright-coloured blue furnishings that are so characteristic of the Mediterranean. But you barely notice; you’re too engrossed in the stunning scene before your eyes – the glistening waves of the Aegean ocean wash up onto the shoreline dotted with bright white-washed houses, reflecting the glowing rays of the sun and harbouring flower-filled cafés under their roofs.

In a swirl of colour, you find yourself in a bustling street in nearby Bodrum, lively chatter gliding out of nearby eateries where visitors enjoy the expertise of Turkish cuisine. Glancing around at the opulence of the marina, you would never guess that this thriving place used to be a quiet fishing village, home to only a few thousand residents. Nowadays, the city is a fascinating pearl of the Aegean region thanks to its mix of ancient history and rich culture which attracts both wealthy Turks and worldwide tourists alike. But it’s clear that despite the years of development, Bodrum has managed to keep its alluring Aegean charm that you can’t help but fall in love with.

All of a sudden, the scene changes again: you are now reclining on a luxurious sun bed in the exclusive setting of the hotel’s private beach, just a 5 minute journey down the road. What better way to truly unwind than letting the rays of late afternoon sunshine wash over your skin before cooling off in the crystal clear waters? All you need now is a tasty bite to eat…

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” - Eleanor Roosevelt

Before dining on the delights of Aegean and Mediterranean cuisine in the hotel’s Blu Restaurant, it’s time to treat yourself to a little dip. You feel as if you’re on the edge of the world, floating in the beautiful infinity pool enjoying breathtaking views over the bay. You pinch yourself, not believing that this awe-inspiring panorama can be real: but to your absolute joy, you realise that the view, along with your entire stay at Doria Hotel Bodrum, a true Turkish delight, is just a dream come true.
