St. Regis is Coming to Bodrum: A New Era of Luxury on the Aegean Coast

If you thought Bodrum’s luxury portfolio couldn’t get any stronger, think again. Marriott International has officially signed an agreement to bring the St. Regis brand to Bodrum, marking a bold new chapter in high-end hospitality along Türkiye’s Aegean coastline.

As the gateway to bespoke experiences and signature service, The Bodrum Concierge is thrilled to share the inside story on what St. Regis Bodrum will bring to our region.

What We Know So Far: Key Facts & Highlights

• The project will be named The St. Regis Karya Cove Resort, Bodrum, located in the secluded Kazıklı Covejust north of Bodrum.

• The resort is slated to open in 2030, giving development time for meticulous design and construction.

• The master plan spans 280,000 square meters, offering prime beachfront access and panoramic sea views.

• The hotel component will consist of 138 guest rooms with multiple dining venues, indoor & outdoor pools, wellness spa, kids club, fitness center, and full meeting and event facilities.

• In addition, 221 branded residences and villas will be developed, ranging from one-bedroom units to five-bedroom villas. These will include premium amenities like private lounges, co-working spaces, media rooms, exhibition kitchen, library, and private fitness studios.

• This marks Marriott’s 100th hotel (operating + pipeline) in Türkiye and underlines its commitment to the Turkish luxury market.

• The collaboration is between Marriott, Kuzu Group, and consultant Servotel — this is their second major partnership following JW Marriott Istanbul Marmara Sea.

  
  

Why St. Regis in Bodrum Is Significant

1. Elevating Bodrum’s Luxury Landscape

Bodrum already hosts a compelling mix of boutique and global hotels, but the introduction of St. Regis—a storied brand known for signature butler service and timeless elegance—brings new weight to the region’s luxury credentials.

2. Combining Resort and Residences

The co-development of luxury residences alongside the resort means long-term ownership opportunities, which strengthen Bodrum’s appeal to investors and discerning travelers who want more than just a hotel stay.

3. Strategic Coastal Position

Kazıklı Cove provides seclusion while still maintaining convenient access to Bodrum’s vibrant old town, marina scene, and cultural attractions. This balance is ideal for guests seeking both serenity and connectivity.

4. Market Confidence

That Marriott is investing in its 100th Turkish property signals confidence in Türkiye’s future as a global luxury destination. For Bodrum, it further cements its status in the international resort circuit.
