Caresse A Luxury Collection Resort & Spa

Caresse A Luxury Collection Resort & Spa

Caresse, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa sits at Asarlık Mevkii, a quiet stretch of coastline between Bodrum town and Bitez Bay, where private yachts can moor directly at the property and guests can watch the Aegean's full moon rise from their own balcony. Built in 2015 as Marriott International's first resort hotel in Bodrum, the five-floor property holds just 84 rooms, suites and residences, each with a private terrace or balcony facing the sea and fitted with the brand's signature beds. The setting keeps it apart from central Bodrum, four kilometres away, though a shuttle and transfer desk connect the two when guests want the town instead of the shore. What no other resort on this stretch of coast can offer is its own yacht fleet, from the 29-metre miss b to the speedboat Katia, which appeared in the James Bond film series, both available for day charters or overnight runs along the peninsula. On site, Spa Caresse works from an open-air deck over the water, Buddha-Bar Beach Bodrum runs from day into night, and Barbarossa serves seafood with a view of the Aegean. Families get a kids club, a playroom and a children's pool alongside the indoor and outdoor pools and private beach; couples get bridal suites and a hushed, secluded setting that will feel too quiet for anyone wanting Bodrum's bars within walking distance. The resort fee already covers breakfast, spa, beach and pool access, so the price on the confirmation is close to what gets paid at checkout. It suits someone who wants the sea itself, not a slice of it from a rooftop bar.
