quotes from the media

"Like all Amanresorts, this one is grown-up and sophisticated, vastly spacious and deeply private, with just 36 suites spread, like a village, over the kind of generous acreage on which most other hotel companies would undoubtedly have strewn 500 rooms and attendant facilities."

"Created in a Mediterranean-meets-Ottoman architectural style from a medley of stone, concrete and marble, bonded with a soft pink mortar, the hotel is of a pinkish hue that rests easily against the blue of Mandalya Bay on the Bodrum peninsula and the silvery flicker of innumerable olive trees."

“Part of what feels luxurious about the Amanruya is the sense of privacy and being part of the landscape. Some of the olive trees are a century old, and the cottages were built around them. Butterflies flutter all around. In the gutters that run down the sides of the lanes by the houses, turtles wander about.”

“Each evening, as sunset approached, we mounted the steps in the library tower to gaze across the Agean. It was then that we fully appreciated the essence of Amanruya. It is a self contained world of deep tranquility; a place to be healed and restored.”

“Later, after yet another fine meal and look around the resort’s tower like library, I fall asleep to a silence broken only by the whirring of cicadas.”

“The area around the chic Bodrum does not only belong to the most beautiful, but also to the most interesting in Turkey. ... Best base: the new Amanruya resort in a secluded bay North of Bodrum. Erected in the style of a Turkish village with tranquil courtyards and panorama terraces amidst the nature, it is true place of serenity. All 36 luxury cottages have their own gardens and pools, fireplaces and under floor heating for the more chilly days. ... By the sea you can recreate on comfortable daybeds at the beach club or hire a sailing boat. Perfect!”
