HOTEL SUMMARY
Where ancient Turkish mythology meets contemporary Aegean luxury, Susona Bodrum, LXR Hotels & Resorts emerges as Bodrum's most enchanting retreat, named after the legendary aquatic spirit that embodies the magic of the sea. This extraordinary property marks LXR Hotels & Resorts' debut in Turkey, transforming the former Nikki Beach Hotel into a sophisticated sanctuary that honors both local heritage and modern luxury.
Designed by acclaimed architect Gökhan Avcıoğlu and GAD, Susona Bodrum draws inspiration from water's natural flow, with circular forms radiating outward like ripples across the Aegean. The resort's two-level Mediterranean architecture respects Bodrum's historical context while creating an intimate forum-like atmosphere reminiscent of ancient agoras. Owned by the Dogan Group—Hilton's original international partner from six decades ago—this premium property represents a masterful blend of mythological storytelling and contemporary design, earning recognition as one of Turkey's most distinctive luxury hotels.
The resort's 76 accommodations include elegantly appointed rooms, suites, and standalone villas, each featuring panoramic Aegean Sea views through floor-to-ceiling windows. The signature Aegean Suite accommodates up to eight guests with three bedrooms, private pool, and expansive garden terraces. Interior design embraces a sea-inspired palette of cool grays, whites, and beiges, while bathrooms feature indulgent Atelier Rebul amenities infused with Bodrum mandarine essence. Every villa includes a private pool, elevating the sense of exclusivity that defines this ultra-luxury retreat.
Culinary experiences celebrate local Aegean flavors across four distinctive venues. Malva Restaurant showcases ingredients from the Bodrum Peninsula and Gulf of Gökova, sourced from independent fishermen and small farms, while live jazz creates an intimate atmosphere. Frankie Beach Club delivers poolside sophistication with seafood pizza and Afyon veal tenderloin, complemented by island cocktails. Nama Sushi and Raw Bar offers Japanese precision with Mediterranean flair, while Ezi serves everything from traditional Turkish breakfast to signature burgers with waterfront views. The resort's crown jewel, Susona Prive, sets new standards for VIP nightlife in Bodrum.
Susona Bodrum's rare private sandy beach distinguishes it from Bodrum's typically rocky coastline, while five jetties provide exclusive water access for yachting enthusiasts. The Spa by Spa Soul features a marble-lined hammam and unique treatments including Dead Sea mud wraps and chickpea scrub massages. Located in peaceful Torba Bay, just six kilometers from downtown Bodrum, this mythical sanctuary offers the perfect balance of tranquil retreat and cultural exploration. Book the Aegean Suite for ultimate luxury, or reserve jetty time in advance for the most exclusive seaside experience in the Turkish Riviera.
