Taste
Perfect harmony between nature and luxury
The bar for luxury holidays has been raised considerably with the arrival of the recently opened Maxx Royal Bodrum. This brand new destination enchants with its location amidst breathtaking nature on a picturesque peninsula near the Turkish Göltürkbükü. And while the other Maxx Royal Resorts are all-inclusive, Maxx Royal Bodrum is the first with the Bed & Breakfast concept and the Grand Boutique style.
Over a decade ago, Maxx Royal made its mark on the tourism industry with the introduction of Maxx Royal Belek Golf Resort and Maxx Royal Kemer Resort in Antalya. This spring, Maxx Royal Bodrum added a third pearl to the Turkish chain. With its distinctive Bed & Breakfast concept and Grand Boutique style, Maxx Royal Bodrum redefines the luxury holiday experience, going beyond the services and privileges one normally has access to. Maxx Royal Bodrum brings together the best of the best in an already beautiful location, made even more beautiful and refined. With pine forests lining a private bay around pristine turquoise waters, the resort is enriched with carefully selected trees from nurseries in Turkey, Italy and Spain, such as stone pine, ironwood and Chinese wisteria. Natural beauty squared! Sustainability was a top priority during the construction project, with the aim of reducing energy consumption by 24 percent and domestic water consumption by more than 45 percent. The project was built in accordance with the LEED Gold standards set by the US Green Building Council (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is a green building certification program used worldwide, ed.). In the world of Maxx Royal Bodrum, world-renowned brands will open their stores, offering an experience born from the fusion of quality and luxury. With the possibilities that seamlessly blend with the unique nature of Göltürkbükü and the experiences that the resort offers, Maxx Royal Bodrum will make your vacation unforgettable.
Partnership with Scorpios
Just like at both other resorts, a stay at Maxx Royal Bodrum is one big culinary feast: you can start a gastronomic diary there! A variety of world cuisines can be discovered in the nine à la carte restaurants that Maxx Royal Bodrum has to offer, and in the eight stylishly designed bars within the resort you can enjoy a lively atmosphere. Extra special is the presence of the world-famous restaurant Caviar Kaspia. In addition, an unforgettable culinary experience awaits you in the restaurant where Michelin-starred chef Alfredo Russo serves his exclusive dishes. Then there are the tempting delicacies of Chocolatier, Le Melange and various snack and ice cream corners: no taste bud is left out. Another treat: Maxx Royal Bodrum has entered into a partnership with Scorpios. Since its inception in 2014, Scorpios Mykonos has redefined the beach experience, offering a genre-defying alternative and curating new musical and artistic talent. Now the acclaimed beach concept has blown over from Mykonos. And that’s a first, as it’s the first time Scorpios will welcome guests outside of Mykonos, on the peninsula next to Maxx Royal Bodrum. Here, guests will be immersed in a world of music and art, as they enjoy Eastern Mediterranean cuisine or indulge in wellness rituals in the iconic ritual space. There’s also exclusive accommodation, which is a new, expanded 24-hour offering for the brand.
Comfort and coziness
Designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, the suites at Maxx Royal Bodrum offer the comfort and coziness of home. Nestled in the embrace of nature, the villas guarantee an unforgettable stay and are a space you won’t want to leave.

MASTERS Magazine
Curious about the rest of the article? Every success starts with a dream. That is the leitmotif of the summer edition of MASTERS. As a little girl, Iris Hond dreamed of becoming a concert pianist. She had the talent, the discipline, the love for playing the piano and the courage to pursue her dream. Even setbacks did not deter her from her path. “Then I remembered the stories about the rough rock 'n' roll life that Jan Cremer told when he was at our house: the pain, the misery – it's part of it”, she says in the major interview, with unique photography by Rahi Rezvani. Entrepreneur Harald Swinkels was also guided by a dream: first earn a lot of money, then make films. And so he sold his energy company and took the exit to Hollywood. Real estate entrepreneur Max Vorst uses his fortune to collect art. MASTERS received a private tour of the Beelden aan Zee museum, where part of his collection is currently on display. Dream trips are also being realized more and more often. “The need to invest in 'building memories together' is increasing," says Avila Reizen founder Tim van der Wel in an article about the future of travel. If only I had? If only I could? “I dream that I paint and then I paint what I dream,” said Vincent van Gogh. So, while leafing through the new magazine, dream of the Range Rover Sport SV, the Mulder ThirtySix or access to Ferrari's exclusive elite club Corse Clienti. MASTERS 58: a song to dream away to.
