A garden hotel in Türkbükü on the Bodrum peninsula, with its own events team for weddings.
The Setting
Maçakızı is a hotel in Türkbükü, on the north side of the Bodrum peninsula, where the Aegean coast is backed by hills and the Greek islands of Kos and Patmos lie nearby. Bodrum town is about 22 km away, with its castle built by the Knights Hospitaller.
The food is a strong reason to come. The hotel lists Maçakızı Restaurant, CafeMed and Ayla by Aret Sahakyan, so a wedding weekend can move between dining moods without leaving the property. There is a gym, spa and Turkish bath, which suits a slow pre-wedding morning, and a beach among its facilities. The hotel does not publish room numbers, so enquire early, especially for peak summer dates.
The day itself
Maçakızı hosts private events and weddings in its gardens, with sea views and a calm, unhurried feel. A dedicated events team works with you to shape the day around your own ideas, and a sample dinner menu is available from the hotel so you can get a sense of the food early.
The hotel works with weddings of up to 120 guests. Other details are not published, so ask the team about ceremony spaces, exclusive use, the music curfew and legal or symbolic ceremonies. Wedding enquiries go to Ms Hazel Köse, so start there. Ask too about using the beach and the restaurants for a welcome dinner or a farewell lunch the day after.
Where your guests stay
Milas-Bodrum airport is about 40 km away, while Dalaman and İzmir are each around three hours by road, so Milas-Bodrum is the one to book. Round-trip transfers are included with every booking, which takes a lot of stress out of guest travel, and a meet and greet service at Milas-Bodrum airport can be added.
Türkbükü village is on the doorstep for bars and beach clubs, and the wider Bodrum area is known for its turquoise bays and lively nightlife. Ask the team how many guests the hotel can sleep, which nearby hotels they suggest for the overflow, and about private cars for day trips along the peninsula.
Remind guests that round-trip transfers come with every room booking. Ask them to send flight times to the hotel early, so arrivals from Milas-Bodrum run smoothly.
