A Bodrum bay resort with three celebration spaces, from a ballroom for 100 to a private beach for 1,400.
The Setting
Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum sits on its own bay at Göltürkbükü, on the north side of the Bodrum peninsula. Türkbükü village is about ten minutes away by car and Bodrum Harbour about 35 to 40 minutes, with Bodrum Castle, built by the Knights Hospitaller, worth the trip.
Stays range from rooms and suites to villas and apartments, with connecting and family rooms for bigger parties. Dining is a real draw, with Gigi Bodrum, GAIA, ROKA, Hakkasan, Ferdi Baba, Sofra and Maison Revka among the choices, plus the Blue Beach Club and Bar. For a wedding it means guests are fed and looked after the whole stay without leaving the bay.
The day itself
The hotel publishes three spaces for celebrations. The Oriental Ballroom is indoors and full of daylight, takes 100 to 250 guests and opens straight outside, so it suits a ceremony or a cocktail reception. Sea Pearl Terrace looks over the Aegean and is listed for 250 to 500. Olive Garden Beach is the largest, a private spot within the bay with sand, grass and its own bar, listed for 800 to 1,400.
The hotel also plans traditional Indian weddings with a mandap and Baraat, and couples get a complimentary couples massage at The Spa. Ask the team about legal or symbolic ceremonies, exclusive use, the music curfew and which restaurants can host a welcome dinner.
Where your guests stay
Most guests can stay on site, in rooms, suites, villas or apartments, and families will like the connecting rooms. For anyone who wants a night out, Türkbükü is ten minutes away and Bodrum Harbour a short drive.
The Spa, the fitness and wellness programmes and the Mouratoglou Tennis Center fill the quiet hours before the wedding, and staying wedding guests get 15 per cent off spa treatments. Milas-Bodrum is the nearest airport, around 40 km from Türkbükü, so ask the team how long the transfer takes and whether they can run guest shuttles on the wedding day. The coast here is known for its mild climate and turquoise bays, and the official tourism site suggests visiting outside the main season.
Use the three spaces in sequence. Say your vows in the ballroom with the doors open, then move the party down to Olive Garden Beach for the evening.
