Oku Hotels makes Turkish debut

Oku Hotels has opened the doors of its fourth property, Oku Bodrum, marking the brand’s first outpost in Türkiye.

A seafront sanctuary on the Bodrum peninsula’s northern coast, the adults-only retreat is framed by mountains and the Aegean sea.

The hotel features 58 rooms and suites, each with front-facing sea views, private balconies or terraces, and many with a private or shared pool. Tucked into the hillside with views across sea and sky, every accommodation is designed for slow living and bringing nature in to make the most of the surroundings.

Interiors reflect Oku’s signature boho-chic, minimalistic style – earth-toned linens, natural materials and contemporary lines – with a distinctly Turkish flair, including accent details of local marble and walls crafted from reclaimed stone. A collaboration with one of Turkey’s leading art curators, Begüm Güney, introduces a collection of unique artworks and sculptural installations across the hotel, each piece selected to echo the grounded and meditative quality of the space and its connection to the land.

Three distinct dining and drinking destinations serve locally sourced produce, bold flavours and vibrant plates. The brand’s signature Nikkei-inspired restaurant, Teyo Bodrum, opens exclusively for dinner in an open-air setting where Japanese cuisine meets South American spirit. At the heart of the hotel, To Kima Restaurant is where Mediterranean classics meet Asian-inspired flavours in a relaxed yet refined poolside setting. Perched on the cove-side jetty, The Round Bar offers meze snacks and crafted cocktails beside the bay with panoramic views of the peninsula coastline.

The Oku Spa offers a curated programme of wellness rituals drawn from differing practices and traditions. Facilities include a traditional Turkish hammam, sauna, seaview fitness area, relaxation space and open-air seafront treatment cabanas. Curated rituals also go beyond the treatment room – blending nature, culture and community, such as a beachside breathwork session at sunrise, or sound healing at dusk.
