LAURA
LUXURY SALES MANAGER
EXPERT VIEW - Barbaros Bay is one of the quietest parts of the Bodrum peninsula, and this laid back resort is a far cry from the stereotypical image of the Turkish coast - If you really want to disconnect and relax then head for the adults-only Silent Beach, where mobile phones are banned! - It’s well worth upgrading to one of the sumptuous suites for the extra amenities; we particularly recommend the spacious One Bedroom Suites, which include a bathroom with a private Jacuzzi - There are plenty of fun activities and excursions on offer in the local area, including tours by traditional gulet boat, horse riding and visits to wineries, farmers’ markets and carpet-making villages DINING OPTIONS Bed & Breakfast PERFECT FOR - Families - Active types
- Spa lovers - Foodies
