Allium Villas Bodrum

Allium Villas Bodrum

Allium Villas Bodrum sits on the Yalikavak coast of the Aegean, where Cliff Restaurant looks out over the water and the infinity pool appears to run straight into it. The hotel is small by resort standards, 38 rooms across three low floors, and most of those rooms look straight onto the sea rather than the garden. The interiors are marked as a design hotel and include a bridal suite for wedding parties, and the property is part of the Preferred hotel collection. The spa covers hammam, sauna, steam room and massage, and past the private beach sit a heated pool and a separate seasonal outdoor pool, with a gym on site and yachting or boating arranged for guests who want to be on the water rather than looking at it. A golf course lies within three kilometres, handy for guests who want a round before returning to the pool. Families are genuinely catered for, and so, unusually, are pets, which come with their own 30 EUR deposit rather than a blanket refusal. Staff work in English and Russian, and a 150 EUR daily deposit plus a 5% service charge apply at check-in and checkout respectively. This suits a couple or a small group after the Bodrum coastline without the size of a mega-resort, given the 38-room, three-floor layout. It comes at a cost: an extra bed runs 120 EUR a night, so families splitting a room should budget for it. What Allium offers instead is quieter and harder to fake: wake up in most of its 38 rooms, and the sea is already there. A 38-room resort on the Yalikavak coast where most rooms face the Aegean and the spa runs to hammam and steam room, spread across three low floors rather than a tower. Pets and children are both welcome, extra bed and deposit fees aside.
